Harry had been running through the house like a startled chicken since early this morning, driving everyone crazy.
Even mysticism was getting nervous, and he usually loved noise.
"Harry, sit down, please.Severus pleaded at some point.
But he didn't even think about it.
“I'm sorry, Dad, but I can't. I've never been to court. "
“And you are not today either, you are a witness. Have you already forgotten? ”The teacher wanted to know.
"Tell my nerves about that." Harry grumbled and continued his hike.
Severus and Sirius watched their son with concern.
"Please, little one, you are already caressing the bald spots on Hedwig's plumage." Walburga warned.
Harry looked apologetically at his snowy owl.
"Sorry, my beauty," he muttered.
The owl just responded with a gentle coo. She didn't mind. She wanted to be there for her confidante. Just like Beast and Oskar did. unfortunately none of them were allowed to go into the negotiation.
At some point Sirius grabbed his little one and put him between himself and his husband.

"What's bothering you?" He wanted to know gently.
Harry shrugged.
“Something I absolutely don't understand. I'm afraid to meet the guy. "
"Igor?" Speculated Severus.
“Yes, I know he's trapped and can't harm me. And, I've escaped from him before. besides, he didn't do that much to me. But still, I'm just a nervous wreck. I would love to crawl into bed and transform myself into my cat. Pah, and something like that grumbles Gryffindor. "
Sirius caressed his son's back soothingly.
“It's normal behavior, believe me. I was an Auror, and I often had to deal with kidnap victims. You react just like them. "
"Really?"
“Yes, sometimes we had to go back to the place where they were imprisoned. To reconstruct the sequence of events. Some victims vomited just looking at their prison. And not just those who had been physically harmed. since I am not afraid myself, of course, I cannot empathize with that, but it was definitely not nice to watch. "
Harry looked at his father for a long time.
"Now that you mention it. When the dementors attacked you there, you were totally exhausted. but weren't you afraid? "
Sirius shook his head.
“There are other uncomfortable feelings besides fear. Hopelessness, for example, or loneliness. That all came up again during the attack. "
severus had meanwhile sat closer to the two of them and now put his arms around his family.
"We'll manage it, I'll protect you," he promised.
Harry smiled trustingly, then looked at Sirius.
"Do you always feel absolutely safe when he says that?"
The Animagus smiled.
"And whether I do. Sev has already shown us many times that he takes care of his family. "
“I will continue to do that. don't worry about the trial. We are always with you."
Harry nodded.
"Where is the Stockholm Syndrome when you really need it?" He grumbled anyway.
Severus laughed out loud.
“I'm glad you didn't. we would have just missed that. "
"What is that?" Sirius wanted to know.
The teacher sighed.
“Little one, get ready, we're going in a moment. In the meantime, I'll explain a term from police work to our Auror. "
Harry giggled, that the magicians had never heard of the word before showed how little they dealt with the non-magical world.
He hugged his fathers and kissed everyone on the cheek.
"I'll be right back." with that he disappeared.

Sirius smiled after the boy.
"He doesn't do that often."
"Does that surprise you? He is fifteen. "
“Don't remind me, can't he stay a child any longer? About thirty years? "
walburga laughed out of her picture and Kreacher giggled too.
"You sound like your father when you were little children."
Sirius smiled sadly.
"It's just, I missed so much of his childhood."
severus kissed his husband gently.
“That's what you're here for him now. The only important thing is that we never let him down. He must always be able to rely on us. "
"Right, and now tell me what this Swedish disease is about?"
Severus laughed at the phrase, but of course he started to explain.

although Severus and Sirius had persuaded him well, Harry was a trembling bunch of teenagers when they got to the Ministry. He would have loved to take the hands of his companions, but that would have been too embarrassing for him. he wasn't five anymore, even if he was feeling that way.
He stayed close to his fathers and tried to dry his sweaty hands on his trousers.
“Don't, that gives marks and wrinkles. Here, I'll help you. Sirius cast a quick spell on his son who made his palms less sweaty.
“Thanks, that's not bearable, just look how I'm shaking. It wasn't that bad at the tournament. ”Even Harry's teeth chattered.
severus was quite sure that his child was cold too. He put a hand on his back, reassuringly.
"Quiet, don't forget, we're always there."
"Merlin, is there always so much going on here?" The teenager wanted to know.
Sirius grumbled.
“No, most of them are probably only here again because of you. At least they're going in the same direction. "
“Oh joy. I'm not giving autographs today, though. ”Harry growled.
"Certainly not, look, there aren't just idiots there.with that, Severus indicated the Greengrass family.
The Lovegoods were there with Neville, as was Percy.
Draco immediately approached his friend and gave him a quick hug.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Bad." Harry rattled.
"You can do it." Luna encouraged him and took his hand in hers. Daphne and Astoria also took the boy in their arms.
“My siblings are excused. But our parents refused to let them come here. Percy grumbled.
Severus growled.
“They don't let their children over to their boyfriend to support him? What excuse do you have again? "
Percy sighed.
"They don't want their children to be confronted with wrong ideas."
"Please?" It came from Harry, aghast.
"The thing with the magical beings, they think you're a bad company for them," the redhead explained.
Harry was already foxing again.
“But now the time has come. they won't let their children to me because I'm against murder? That should be put in the newspaper. "
