Chapter Text
Snape was sitting in the outside cafe, sipping his evening tea, waiting for Lucius and Potter. He picked up the Potions Quarterly he was currently reading when he felt someone sit next to him. He thought it was Potter. "Harry, we need to stop by your grandfather's after this. I had Kreacher take the shopping back already."
"My name isn't Harry but you can call me that."
A strange man touched Snape's leg. Snape froze, he looked around, hoping he can get rid of this man before Potter saw him. "I am married." Snape didn't want to deal with this. Potter was going to kill him.
"That doesn't bother me."
"I don't cheat."
"I should hope not." Lucius sat down opposite Snape. "Who is your friend?"
"No idea. He just sat down and won't take a hint."
"You need to go before Harry gets here. He doesn't care for strangers." Lucius knew Potter would kill the guy.
"That is an understatement."
"Why don't you go away Blondie? I am talking to your handsome friend." The man said.
Lucius just shook his head, looked at Snape. "You know he isn't going to be happy about this. He warned you that this might happen."
"I know and that is the part that is bugging me. He did say it would happen. I promised him it wouldn't. He is going to be unbearable about this now." Snape hated being wrong.
The stranger not liking being ignored took hold of Snape's hand. Lucius sighed. "Do you know who we are?" He watched Snape pull his hand away and wipe it on a napkin. Lucius didn't blame Severus.
"Should I?" The stranger asked.
Lucius looked at the man. The man was just average everything. Average height, weight, average brown hair, brown eyes, and bland almost pasty skin. "Lucius, the man is an idiot." Snape was getting angry, the man kept touching him. Lucius could see the anger building in Severus.
"Severus, I am trying to get us out of this without any of our family arriving."
"All of them?" Snape looked around quickly for any sign of their family.
"Yes. You know what Harry will do." Lucius didn't want to have Potter kill anyone.
"I won't be leaving Hogwarts for a year if he finds out. You won't make it out of this cafe." Snape glared at the stranger.
"He is right." A new voice said and everyone turned to see the Dark Lord with Vlad next to him. A Dark Lord who was angry. "My son will be very unhappy, and you won't like him when he's unhappy. I can promise you, if he wasn't on his way, I would be expressing my anger."
The stranger laughed. "I am not afraid of your son."
"Idiot. I will get Radu and Rosely." Vlad disappeared.
"That is what I called him." Snape was getting annoyed as the stranger tried to grab his hand again, he missed, landed on his leg. Snape reached down to remove when the one voice they didn't want to hear lets out a very deadly growl from across the alley.
"Merlin." The Dark Lord muttered. "Vlad hurry."
They all watched Potter slowly stalk the stranger. His eyes were turning dark. "I would say run but you don't have a chance. You don't touch one of the mates of a Royal Living Vampire." Lucius wasn't sure how they would save the guy but also didn't care if he died. He touched Severus.
The stranger paled suddenly as Potter went down into a crouch with a growl that vibrated around the alley. Radu and Vlad tackled Potter but Potter just stood up. "This is going to be painful," Radu announced.
Snape stood in front of Potter. "Harry." He moved closer to him and touched his face. "You know I am fine. Lucius, cut yourself. You know if he smells mine that idiot is dead."
The Dark Lord noticed everyone else had moved out of the way. Everyone knew Harry, Severus, and Lucius and weren't going to get in the way. "Who is the idiot that got him upset?" One of the Aurors arriving asked. The Dark Lord thought it had to be a new recruit.
"I believe the one he is eyeballing as his next meal." Shacklebolt was still amazed that people tried to take on Potter. He wondered about some of the people being brain dead and how did they live to adulthood. "I thought we provided information on what not to do to a Royal?"
"Harry wasn't here when he put his hands on Severus." The Dark Lord hoped Rosely would arrive soon.
"Merlin, he touched Snape?" Someone gasped.
"What does he want on this tombstone?" One asked.
"Idiot." A few said.
"Herman would be nice if you arrived fast." The Dark Lord muttered.
"I just got the message. I am taking it that this is the idiot that touched my great-grandson?" Rosely eyed the stranger.
"Yes, get the idiot out of here before we have to change his name to dinner." Radu was still handing off of Potter with Vlad. They had developed a routine for it over the years.
Rosely grabbed the stranger and shadow-walked them away. Potter didn't care for that and started scenting the air. "Lucius now would be good," Vlad ordered.
Lucius cuts himself and waited for Potter to smell his blood only didn't have the usual calming effects. Potter started following a scent. "Vlad, find Herman, warn him."
"I am warned. I put that idiot in a Ministry holding cell. I figured I might be needed here." Rosely appeared next to the Dark Lord. He figured Harry would not stop as the man had touched Snape. He knew he wouldn't if someone touched Minerva.
"How do we stop this?" Radu asked.
"I can shadow-walk him but we might end up fighting in the shadows. It won't be pretty." Rosely explained. "We know he can beat all of us."
Minerva arrived with Poppy as everyone was following the stalking form of Potter. They quickly explained what happened to Poppy and Minerva. "Herman, grab Severus, Lucius, and Harry. Return them to their quarters. He will feel safe there and will know Severus is safe." Minerva instructed.
"You think that will work?" Poppy asked.
"It will give us more time to come up with a better plan if it doesn't. Take Radu with you." The Dark Lord remarked.
Rosely quickly grabbed them and shadow-walked to their quarters. He let them go and Potter pulled Snape and Lucius into his arms and started to guide them to their bedroom. "You staying?" Rosely watched his grandson checking his mates.
"I think I will go and visit Aurora." Radu smirked.

Snape was sitting on the bed watching a pacing Potter. He can hear Lucius starting a bath. "Lucius add some of the bath salts."
"Already have. I also got some towels on warming stones."
"Harry." Snape saw Potter turn toward him, "I am fine." Potter growled. "Yes, I know he touched me but he didn't hurt me. I know he was a stranger. I can honestly say I think you cured him of ever doing that again."
Potter gave a slight growl. "I am fine." Lucius came back into their bedroom. "We were working on getting rid of him. We already had help coming before you arrived. Marvolo was ready to hex the man." Lucius wrapped his arms around Potter. "Now, how about we clean Severus and show him how much we love him?"
Potter peered over Lucius' shoulder and let out a quiet grumble. "We can burn the clothes." Snape started toward the waiting bath.
