Chapter Text
Harry watched the two men enter the building he was currently using as his shelter. He could see they were wizards but they were different than the ones who usually were looking for him. They didn't have their wands drawn, pointing in front of them like the rest usually did. He grinned as he watched them move around the bottom floor. They pulled out their wands and began to cast some detection spells. He waited and watched. He was wondering what spells they were using. Sassa slithered over to him. Sassa was a small blond boa constrictor about a meter long. ~Attack?~ He didn't answer right away. He decided to move to a higher level behind some boxes for a better view. Sassa slithered behind him.
~No, get Silva and Naggy to capture them. They are interesting.~ Harry hid behind a huge metal beam. He waited as Sassa delivered her orders. He saw Naggy, a huge green magical snake that her mother Nagini presented to him when he was about five, move in slowly as Silva, Sassa's sister, circled. Once in place, they moved in and quickly wrapping themselves around the men's legs.
~Stop.~ One of the men hissed catching Harry's attention. He had never met another speaker before. They were dark-haired and were dressed in black robes.
Naggy and Silva didn't stop but kept coiling higher up the wizards' legs. They wrapped themselves around tightly the men making sure they couldn't move. "Marvolo?"
"I don't know why they didn't stop. Snakes obey all speakers, usually. I am the only one." Marvolo was a bit stumped by this development.
~Tommy?~ Naggy hissed.
~The only one to call me Tommy is my own familiar, Nagini.~ Marvolo was confused now. Nagini would have mentioned a mate, wouldn't she?
Harry was enjoying seeing the confusion on the taller man's face. Marvolo, interesting name. He moved again as he heard the speaker try and get answers from Naggy and Sassa but neither answered Marvolo's questions. He stood up on from behind some boxes. "You weren't invited in." He looked down from the second floor, leaning over the railing to allow them to see him. It was a better defensive position.
"We're sorry, could you please call off your pets?" Marvolo was looking at Harry Potter. He could feel it in his gut, he just instantly knew this was Harry Potter, the missing Savior, the missing Boy-Who-Lived.
"They're not my pets, they're family." Harry waved his hand and their wands came flying into his hands. "How about you tell me why you are looking for me." He began to walk down to the lower level that his uninvited guests were on. He held their wands in his left hand. Most of the wizards he had seen couldn't cast without their wands.
"Perhaps you could release us first?" Marvolo gave him we are harmless look. "You do have our wands." He hoped that would work. After all, Potters were Gryffindors which translated into foolish, impulsive, and naive to show they were brave. He could do some wandless magic and knew Severus did too but it wasn't a common skill. He was impressed by Harry's skill.
"Wands aren't always needed as I just showed you." Harry moved closer but not close enough for them to reach. He looked at Marvolo and his red eyes, Harry frowned in thought for a few seconds before turning his eyes to the other man. This man was angry and trying to control his temper. He had a rather big nose but Harry liked his chocolate eyes. "Answer my question or I can have Naggy and Silva get answers for me."
"We are looking for you, Harry Potter." Marvolo was impressed by this Harry Potter. He wasn't a Gryffindor, no, he was something much more impressive. Everyone had believed Harry's muggle relatives had killed Harry shortly after his tenth birthday. The wards had come crashing down on what would have been Harry's eleventh birthday. He saw Severus cover up his surprise at who had trapped them. He would have to make sure Severus' temper didn't drive Harry away. He needed Harry's help. Harry was the key to the Wizengamot. Harry was eighteen now.
~He knows Mother.~ Naggy hissed. ~I scented her on this one.~ Naggy used her tail to smack the back of Marvolo's legs, lightly but Marvolo still wobbled a bit.
~Where is Nagini?~ Harry hissed, surprising his captives. They weren't expecting a speaker it seemed. Harry wanted to find Nagini. He had missed the mothering snake. She had been his savior, his only bright light in his dim existence at the Dursleys.
"You're a speaker. Dumbledore will have a fit if he finds out." Marvolo would love to see Dumbledore's face when he discovered that about Harry. Marvolo was almost giddy with joy at the idea of Harry Potter being a speaker and how it would crush Dumbledore. Dumbledore and all his prose about Harry Potter would be ruined.
"The old coot? The one with the long white beard and glasses with very bad taste in clothes? He is still alive." Harry thought for a few seconds. "Of course, that is why those others keep looking for me. One is a werewolf with a really bad sense of smell." Harry snorted a bit. "Though it is funny to see how fast he runs when he finally smells me. I never saw a werewolf that afraid of everything."
"Others have been looking for you?" Severus wondered why Dumbledore hadn't told him. Dumbledore informed him that Harry was dead. Most of the magical world wasn't aware of it as of yet. He wanted to curse the man for lying to him and curse Marvolo for not telling him this was who they were looking for.
"Yes, Naggy bite one last week."
"Granger. She said she was bitten by a snake during a walk." Severus wondered who else from the Order was involved in this. Minerva believed Harry was dead as did Poppy. It had to be those that were always meeting with Dumbledore outside of Order meetings.
"Walk? She is the reason we are here in this dump. She showed up at my flat, demanding to know where Harry Potter was and what had I done to him." Harry snarled. "She was lucky that she walked away with just Naggy's bite." Harry had to leave that night as three more people showed up looking for him.
"The description, it doesn't match." Severus understood now. They had been told repeatedly that Harry looked like James but with Lily's eyes. This Harry was tall, dark hair with a deep almost forest green eyes. James had blue, Lily's were more emerald green. James had messy black hair, Lily's was red. Harry's had curly black hair that framed his face. His face wasn't either James or Lily's than he remembered, it was the image of Lily's father. This Harry Potter looked like an Evans family member with Potter's black hair.
Harry sat down on one of the crates. "What description?" These wizards were interesting. He smelled something about them. He needed to process this some more.
"Dumbledore has been telling everyone you looked like your father, James Potter with your mother's eyes. You don't. You look like a combination of maternal grandfather and your mother with your father's hair color." Some of Severus' fondest memories were the times he spent at Lily's house growing up.
"He knows what they look like?" Harry looked at them and locked eyes with Severus. Harry went through Severus' memories like he was looking at a photo album. "Interesting. I killed you as a baby, too bad they got it wrong." He inwardly grinned. Yes, these two were the ones.
Marvolo laughed. "Yes, they did. How did you do that as a baby anyway?"
"You mean leave the pile of ashes behind for you to disappear?" Harry was having some fun now.
"Yes." Marvolo had been wondering for years how Harry did it.
"I really don't know."
Severus looked at Marvolo. "I think I need some things explained including how he just did that."
"He's a Wampir." Marvolo expected his answer to explain everything.
"A what?" Severus tried to move but Sassa tightened her coils.
Harry grinned. "Very good, Marvolo. You are one of the few who recognized what I am."
"It took me a while. When I sent werewolves to the Dursley's house, they smelled a vampire, but yet, it's wasn't one at the same time." Marvolo looked at Severus. "Wampirs come from Russia originally. They do not use fangs to drink the blood of their victims but use a special stinger that is located under their tongue." Harry opened his mouth and showed Severus the stinger. "The Wampir can walk around in the daylight and must be burned in a special way to be killed. The normal ways of killing a vampire do not work."
"Driving a stake through its heart, shooting it with a silver bullet, decapitating it, drowning it in saltwater or coercing it into a corked bottle and then burning it, don't work?" Severus wondered why this was never mentioned in his Defense Mastery. He had never even realized there was more than one type of vampire. "Just a special method of burning?"
"No, it has been tried, though. The decapitating was annoying, it took me a day to heal from that." Harry snapped, annoyed at being called it. "Some of those in brown trench coats killed some of my traditional vampire friends."
"Aurors. Ministry of Magic's police." Marvolo wondered how Harry had even seen Aurors. Harry was certainly different than what he had expected.
"You can speak the snake language and you entered my mind like I had no shields. You cast a wandless spell to disarm us at the same time. Can all Wampirs do that?" Severus looked at Harry before looking at Marvolo to see if he knew what was going on.
"As a Wampir, shields means nothing to them. Unlike regular vampires who we can resist, a Wampir inherits it has a natural skill. He's a magical creature with a wizard's core. Wampires are stronger in magic because of it and Harry was stronger as a baby, so I believe he will be incredibly stronger with his magical skill."
"How did you know he was Harry Potter?" Severus wasn't sure if he would have recognized Harry as Harry Potter.
"I am not sure. I thought he would look like a Potter. The magic is what made me believe he was Harry. It felt familiar. Could you release us now?"
Harry looked at them. "What do you want with me?" Ignoring the request.
"I would like for you to join us." Marvolo wasn't sure if this would work.
Harry smirked a bit. "I am not one for joining groups. I won't be one of your followers. I won't be branded like he is." Harry tilted his head toward Severus.
"Maybe we can deal?" Marvolo wondered if magical wasn't Harry's only skill besides being a speaker.
"I only want two things. I need my mate and my donor, it is what I want." Harry looked at them. "Maybe I will see you around, tell the old coot to leave me alone. I don't know why he sent you but I don't want to be part of what he is selling." Harry stood up and started to leave. If he waited for them to official reject him, he would be dead by the end of year.
"We are fighting against him." Marvolo wasn't sure why Harry assumed they were with Dumbledore.
"He isn't." Harry pointed to Severus. "He even works at that school. He is his boss."
"He is my spy."
Harry snorted and started to walk away. "I will think about it." He disappeared into the shadows as soon as he was gone the snakes released them and slithered away, ignoring Marvolo's speaking to them.
"Severus, you better be able to explain what he meant." Marvolo turned to face Severus as he summoned his wand to him, pointing it at Severus.
"He knows I work at Hogwarts. He saw me telling Dumbledore information. He saw the Vow I took after Lily was killed." Severus slammed down his shields. While he wasn't working for Dumbledore, he wasn't working against him either. He wasn't sure what side he was going to support completely. He didn't fully trust either man.
"Severus." Marvolo warned.
"You heard him, I thought Harry was dead. Dumbledore doesn't trust me. Something is going on. Something we don't know about." Severus did trust Marvolo more than Dumbledore in a lot of ways, however. One of the biggest was that the man was honest in what he wanted and his goals.
"What do you mean?"
"Why is he looking for Harry? Telling everyone Harry looks like James? Dumbledore doesn't know what Harry looks like yet Harry knew him. Harry gave us a description which means Harry had to have seen him."
"The abuse and those wards." Marvolo lowered his wand.
"Yes, he had to have seen Dumbledore adding to the wards. Dumbledore had to know about the abuse. Dumbledore sent a werewolf to look for him, you mentioned werewolves. You mentioned his relatives' house, Dumbledore knew where he lived. He believes we are with him. I wonder why he didn't look into your mind?"
"He knows he is my Horcrux too. I think he selected you because he assumed you were an easier target."
"Who? Harry or Dumbledore?" Severus ignored that last comment as he retrieved his wand. He believed it was because Harry sensed his anger and his control over it. Vampires liked a challenge of a strong mind and he bet a Wampir did too. Vampires liked mind games, they liked a challenge and Wampires didn't sound as if they were very different in that aspect.
"Dumbledore. I could feel the pull. I believe that is how Nagini found him, it's also how we will find him again."
"What do you have in mind?" Severus was still looking around the old factory, at least he thought it was a factory at one time. It could have been a warehouse at another time. Harry wouldn't be found here again.
___________________________________Semi Harry's POV________________________________
Harry crouched down in the graveyard. He watched the ones in flowing black robes enter into the Manor that was hidden by wards. He had spent a week following a few of them around. None of them had any good thoughts regarding the wrinkly, senile old coot. Marvolo and Severus weren't with the old bat. Time to spy on whatever they were attending. He followed the shadows until he found the room where they were all gathering. He saw the taller of the two, Marvolo, sitting on a throne and to his right, Severus. There was a blond man on the right side of Severus, a little too pretty. On the left of the throne was a woman with long out of control curly hair. When she let out a cackling laugh as she shot a spell off to one of the ones who entered the room. She was as crazy as the old coot. He noticed when Marvolo realized he was here. Marvolo touched the sleeve of Severus and Severus leaned down, listened, and both sets of eyes begin to search the room for him. He grinned. He was going to stay where he was until he saw Nagini enter the room. She would give him away.
~Youngling.~ Nagini hissed as she moved to him. She had grown in size but she was still the same snake he remembered protecting him and telling him about magic.
~Hello Nagini.~ Harry bent down and rubbed his hand over her head. He didn't see everyone freeze at hearing another parseltongue. ~Naggy is outside with Silva and Sassa.~
~I will go and invite them in. You are staying? I have missed you.~
~I believe I will be speaking to your Tommy and Severus.~ Harry stood up and Nagini slithered out of the room. "Hello, Marvolo, Severus, interesting gathering." Harry found it very interesting.
"I wasn't expecting to see you so soon." Marvolo believed they would have to find Harry again and had been searching and making plans.
"I got bored watching you. Your followers are a bit sloppy. Not a single one of them knew I was following them. I even got that nosy werewolf off of the pretty boy the other night as he was leaving Knockturn Alley with something I am sure those Auras would be interested in."
"Aurors." Marvolo automatically corrected him.
He ignored the comments as he walked through the Death Eaters who started to part ways until one decided to get brave and stab Harry in the back. Harry didn't even make a sound, he just looked over his shoulder. He pulled the man toward him and began to feed, dropping the body on the ground before he was dead. "If you want him to live I would recommend giving him some blood." He looked at the crazy woman. "Could you remove the knife?"
"Bellatrix, remove the knife. Narcissa and Severus if you could. If anyone else has any ideas of attacking my guest, I would say think again. As you can see he can take care of himself. If you are still alive after he is finished with you, I will deal with you after that."
Severus was kneeling next to Narcissa. Narcissa was sealing the wound while Severus was spelling Blood Replenishing Potions into the man. "He will recover. He just needs some sleep, my Lord." Narcissa said.
"Trixie." Marvolo said. Harry almost jumped with a small funny looking creature with big ears appeared in the room.
"Yes Master Dark Lord?"
"Take him to one of the dungeons, let him sleep it off. He doesn't need to be locked in." Marvolo instructed the house elf.
Harry tilted his head as Severus began to pick up the vials he has used. "What does that do?" He pointed to the empty Blood Replenishing Potion vial.
Severus looked up. "A potion that replenishes the taker's blood if they have been injured and lost blood. Narcissa healed the wound with a minor healing spell."
Harry looked closely at the spot where he had bitten the man. "Interesting. The other vials?" He pointed to Severus' potion bag. He was hoping he could learn some of this potion stuff and a healing spell or two would be good. He touched the small creature as she, he assumed, went to grab the sleeping man.
"Different potions from healing to poisons. That is a house-elf." Severus pointed to Trixie as Trixie popped out taking the sleeping man with him.
"I am sure you didn't come to get a lesson in potions." The pretty boy was attempting to feel superior. "You-" Harry had him up in the air, cutting off what he was about to say. The pretty boy was trying to reach his cane but Harry grabbed it.
"I don't believe I asked your opinion. Do you need Pretty Boy?" Harry could feel the magic coming from the cane.
"I do need Lucius if you could be so kind as to release him." Marvolo was hoping Lucius wasn't going to be killed.
"You do take all the fun out of it for me." Harry dropped Lucius. "Don't get up on my account." He put one of his left foot on the cane as he dropped it on the floor. "I wouldn't touch your wand either." He summoned a chair and sat down. "Interesting group." Harry watched the group, all waiting to see what their leader would do to the stranger. He wanted to grin at them. He turned his face to Marvolo and waited for the man to speak. He was the only other person sitting and his chair looked like the throne that Marvolo was sitting on.
"You do know how to make an entrance."
"It's a skill." Harry petted Lucius' head as the man started to rise. ~Can I keep this one? He would make a good pet.~
~He is one of my more important followers. He has many uses. He is also married to Narcissa.~
"Shame." Harry petted Lucius on the head again. "Shall I return later?"
"Do you mind waiting in my study while I have this meeting? I believe Severus can show you some potion books."
Harry looked at the now standing Severus and tilted his head. "Acceptable. Send Nagini in when she arrives with Naggy, Silva, and Sassa." Harry banished his summoned chair as he stood up.
"If you will follow me." Severus bowed to Marvolo as he started to walk away.
___________________________End Harry's POV______________
TWO HOURS LATER:
Harry was curled up on the couch, reading the potion book that Severus gave him to read. The room was set up as an office and study mix. There were two walls full of books. A big old dark pine desk with a black wingback chair positioned to allow easy access to bookcases with two chairs facing the desk. The two-seater couch had two matching Slytherin green chairs that matched the other two chairs. The tables in the room matched the desk and there was an off white area rug. The snakes were all curled up in front of a small fire that Harry started for them. Marvolo and Severus with a very sour-looking Lucius entered Marvolo's office.
"I am guessing he knows the truth?" Harry wasn't sure why they would have brought Pretty Boy into the room otherwise.
"No." Marvolo sat down opposite Harry. ~He is still upset about what you did to him. He has a lot of pride.~
Harry closed the book. ~Do you want him here for all of this? You know what I am looking for.~
~Yes, he knows contracts and laws.~ Marvolo was going to enjoy this. "Lucius Malfoy met Harry Potter."
Harry grinned as Lucius tried to cover from his shock. Severus just shook his head. "Marvolo, that wasn't necessary." Harry continued to watch the three men. While Marvolo was in charge, these two and the crazy woman he treated differently.
"It was funny to see his face. I do think Pretty Boy is going to be fun to play with." Harry watched as Lucius' mask slipped back into place.
"My name is Lucius Malfoy. You will call me Lord Malfoy."
Harry laughed when he was finally done laughing, he smirked. "If you wish to go with titles, you can call me Lord Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Peverell-Potter-Black. I rather just Harry but I can go the snobby route too."
"I take it you went to Gringotts this week?" Marvolo asked.
Harry could see the three men were thinking about what they just learned, even Pretty Boy changed his expression. "Yes, wanted to find out a few things, discovered a lot of interesting things. You are Heir Slytherin. Severus, there is Lord Prince, though he doesn't like the title. It seems someone has been trying to use my seats and get into my vaults. It seems that the old fool wants them."
"Why are you here, Harry?" Marvolo wasn't sure why Harry sought them out. If he had already learned that much information why did he need them?
"You aren't with the old coot."
"No, we are not."
"Why didn't you say that you were against him?" Harry stood up and walked over to Severus who was still standing by Marvolo. He looked at Severus. "Something changed your viewpoint." He tilted his head. He turned back to Marvolo. "Why did you want to find me?"
"I told you, I want you to join me."
"It isn't the only reason and I told you how I felt about joining groups." Harry moved closer to Marvolo, stared at him for a few minutes. He smirked. "Ah, I see." He watched the three men exchange looks. Harry walked to the bookcase, looked at some of the titles. "You want to use my seats and power to take control over that Wizengamot. You want me to grant Pretty Boy all of my seats. Did you know how many I had?"
"No, not fully, I just know from reviewing the voting that Dumbledore lost over forty seats when you were declared dead. He tried to get them to declare you missing instead so that he could keep using them. He has kept the records sealed so many aren't aware of your deceased status." Marvolo answered.
Harry didn't turn around to face them but kept reviewing the spines of the books. "I have seventy-four out of the two hundred available seats. Fifty members sit on the Wizengamot, most with one or two seats. Twenty seats from the two Founders. The Slytherin line I can claim, did you know that? I didn't because you are the heir. You became my heir that night." Harry turned and faced Marvolo. He had the book titles memorized.
"I am aware. I would like for you to claim them if you agree to allow Lucius to use them."
"What do I get in return?" Harry returned to the spot he had originally been sitting in.
"What do you want?" Marvolo wondered if he could get Harry to agree without anything involving him.
"I believe I already spoke of what I want. You, however, don't want to agree to that price."
"May I speak to you, Marvolo, for a minute?" Lucius didn't want to lose this chance. This was very important.
"He knows already, Pretty Boy. He knows if I go out on my own that I can control the Wizengamot with just my seats alone. After all, three out of the four founders seats is something that hasn't happened in a long time. If Dumbledore was to put up the Hufflepuff Lord, I would still be able to overrule him. As three out of the four seats would outvote the one. The Wizengamot would have to follow my rulings. I am a quick study."
"He is correct, Marvolo." Lucius cautioned.
"No opinion, Severus?" Harry wondered why the man was so quiet.
"I usually stay out of politics. I am, however, interested in what you are thinking the offering is."
"Marvolo knows and has known since last week. Shall I come back next week?"
"Marvolo?" Severus and Lucius spoke at the same time.
"What he wants is one of us to be his mate and the other to be his donor, Severus. Since he is Wampir, he would be in charge."
"No." Severus wasn't going to have anyone else in charge of his life. He had two too many as it was right now.
"I have my answer. Good luck, gentlemen." ~Naggy, Silva, Sassa I am leaving if you wish to visit with Nagini, you may stay. You know where to find me.~
~Visit.~ The three snakes weren't sure what they could do to fix the situation but they had to try. Harry tipped his imaginary hat and faded into the shadows. He was rejected by his mate and donor. He needed time to think. He needed to find a safe place to go so when the Blood Rage happened. He would be able to kill himself, instead of hundreds of people.
__________________________________________________________________
"Severus, do you know what you just did?" Marvolo snapped. He wanted to curse someone, anyone.
"Yes, I declined to become a donor. I am not going to sell myself so you can get him to give you his seats. Who were you going to offer for his mate? Lucius?"
"It's more than that. We're his mate and donor. It is the only reason why he mentioned it. Wampirs don't talk speak about becoming a mate and donor to anyone but their mate and donor."
Severus looked at Marvolo. "We?" It had been a rough week for him. He had learned too many startling truths including that Dumbledore had been using Harry's seats illegal. He also believed he was paying some of them to try and find Harry.
"What are you going to do now? He can take control and keep it. Dumbledore would be out. He might also remove us."
"I don't know. It took me almost three months to find that warehouse/factory he was at. I can try to feel the pull again and see if that will let me locate him." Marvolo had some plans on locating Harry already but he was very aware it wouldn't be easy.
Severus sat down on the couch. "Marvolo, can he die from rejection?"
"I don't know. I, however, believe so. Most creatures die when they are rejected. The only hope we have is if his snakes will take us to him." The four snakes were having their own conversation.
Lucius looked at the three snakes. "Do you think they will do it?"
"I'm not sure. Nagini might be able to help me convince them to help me."
Severus stood up and walked to the bookcase. Harry had been looking at the potion section. He sighed. "We better find him." Something was telling him they needed to find him.
~Naggy, can you help us find Harry?~
Naggy didn't reply but Nagini did ~You hurt him.~
~We know. We want to make it better. Nagini, can you get them to help me find Harry?~
The three men watched the four snakes waiting for an answer to their inquiry. Sassa lifted her head and glared at them and went back their silent conversion the four snakes were having.
"Marvolo, are they saying anything?" Lucius wasn't sure if the snakes were speaking or not.
"No, I am waiting for the answer to their helping me find him."
Nagini finally turned and faced them. ~We will bring him here. We don't want to give away his nest.~
~Thank you, Nagini.~ The four snakes slithered out of the study. "They are going to find him in his nest and work on getting him to return. Severus, do you need to return to Hogwarts?"
"No, I finished packing my quarters and labs already. Yesterday was the last staff meeting for the summer."
"We only have about six weeks to get him to agree to allow us the use his seats before the Wizengamot has its next session." Lucius warned them.
"No pressure. We have to find Harry, who is very adept at hiding. We have to get him to agree to let us use his seats and not claim us as his mate and donor." Marvolo sighed. "We need to find something he might want if we are to avoid that."
"How do you think he will handle the rejection?" Severus didn't want to belong to anyone else. He had enough Masters in his life. Granted Marvolo wasn't insane any longer but a third Master he didn't need.
"I am not sure."
FOUR WEEKS LATER:
Harry faded into the meeting room. A meeting was already going on. He warned Nagini not to give him away. He needed to decide on his own if he could be around his mate and donor without going into blood rage since he wouldn't be mated. After almost thirty minutes, in which he didn't pay attention to, he noticed Marvolo's followers start to leave. Everyone was gone except for Severus and Lucius who were standing next to the throne Marvolo was sitting in. "Harry, I know you are here."
Harry stepped out of the shadows. "I came to tell you that I can't do it. I will assign my seats to you. You get what you want. I will have the goblins draw up the papers and send them to you. Good-bye."
"Harry, wait." Marvolo tried to keep the panic out of his voice. Harry stopped but didn't turn around. "May we please talk?"
Harry let out a bitter sound laugh. "Talk, talk, talk. Is that all you wizards know how to do? Speak without words meaning anything, talk in circles, talk to convince someone to do what you want but don't give anything in return. I should have learned that lesson with that old coot. His words to my relatives were meaningless, just as yours are hollow. You got what you wanted, my seats."
"I don't want them if you don't stay." Marvolo wasn't sure where those words came from. He should have been happy that Harry gave him the seats without asking for them to be mated.
"Ah yes, drive the Wampir insane? Make him be around his mate and donor? Have him go into a Blood Rage?"
"Humans need to know the person they want to mate with." Lucius hoped it explained what was happening.
"Really? Why are there all those bonding and marriage contracts?" Harry had done his research.
"They still get to know a person. Harry, your father and his friends weren't very nice to me."
"I know. I saw. You are my mate. What makes you think I would allow you to be treated that way?" Harry was feeling very confused. Wizards were weird.
"He is the mate?" Lucius and Marvolo exchanged a quick look. They weren't expecting that.
"I am your mate?" Severus was shocked. He was the mate, not the donor.
"Yes, why do you think I looked into your mind? I needed to be sure. Marvolo is my donor. He smells wonderful, having his soul piece just makes it easier for me to select him as my donor. Did you not read about my kind?"
"We did but there is nothing in there that tells us about mates, donors, or how to tell who is one." Marvolo had researched hoping to find a way to locate Harry using the mate and donor method if necessary.
"Soul piece?" Lucius never heard of a soul piece.
Marvolo groaned. He didn't want anyone other than Severus to know. Severus only knew because of Dumbledore and the man's quest to find them. "I will explain that later Lucius, can we work on this first?"
"What are your answers?" Harry didn't have much time.
"We need time to get to know you. We aren't rejecting you. We just want to get to know you better."
Harry sighed. "I don't have time. I have been pushing it since I first met you." He looked at them. "I understand what you are saying, I do. You need to realize, I have been looking for years for you. My instincts are screaming for me to claim you. If you can't do this, let me know so I can get someplace safe before I go into a blood rage."
Severus looked at Marvolo. He wasn't sure what to do. He didn't want to say yes but he didn't want to send Harry away knowing he would go into a blood rage. The Blood Rages would continue until the vampire or, in this case, Wampir would either kill itself or someone else did, killing anyone in their way until their death. "Harry, I-" Severus paused. "I can't agree unless Marvolo agrees. I bear his mark on my arm."
Marvolo inhaled deeply and slowly let it out. "I will release Severus. You give us the seats to use until you can handle them in Wizengamot if you wish them back. Harry, are you sure I am the donor? I find myself not willing to submit to another."
"You were willing to do it when you thought you were the mate? What is the difference? It's just another term for a second mate. No one else can be the donor nor can anyone else be the mate. I can't feed on anyone else unless I need to." Harry quietly muttered, "wizards make everything so difficult."
~Do it Tommy. You know you want to. You know you need a mate.~ Nagini said. ~You have been thinking and talking about Harry for years.~
~Nagini, it's not that simple. I have followers I need to think about, I have a war I need to win. I just can't say to my followers here is my mate. He is in charge.~
~Why do they have to know?~ Harry wondered about wizards.
Marvolo jerked his head toward Harry, surprise on his face. He let out a little bit of a laugh. "I feel like a fool. Ever since I have met you I haven't been able to think about things all the way through. This is the perfect example. They don't have to know."
"Know what?" Severus asked.
"Harry's idea. I have been worried about how to tell my followers about this but has Harry just asked why do they have to know? I didn't even think about it. Just like our conversation a few weeks ago about Dumbledore. Those questions you asked, I didn't even think about them."
"I don't think that is it. Marvolo, you usually do think about all angles except if you are around Nagini or Harry. I think it's the soul pieces. When the diary was returned to you, you became saner."
"That was real?"
Severus, Lucius, and Marvolo looked at Harry. Lucius was a bit lost about the soul piece and this connection but he was slowly piecing things together. "I think you need to explain that."
"About a month after I read this book on Soul Magic, you did one of the rituals in it. The ritual called for you to rejoin two of your soul pieces, you did a book that wrote back to you, otherwise, it was blank and some crown. There were Ancient Egyptian Runes set at the phases of the moon in a stone chamber with some white candles. There were two people dressed in white."
"Do you see other things like that?" Marvolo asked.
"Not really. The only time I see things is if you are mad. Which by the way, thanks for cooling down on that, gave me a dreadful headache."
Marvolo got up and walked to Harry. "May I touch where your scar was?"
"Sure." Harry shrugged a bit. He let out a sound of pain as Marvolo touched it and pulled away. He put his hands up to his head. "Oh, it didn't like that."
"Harry, you know you are a Horcrux."
"Yes, I figured that out when I read that book. Nagini, when I was little made some comments about me smelling like you. After a few dreams, reading that book and some more research I figured it out. I isolated that piece, we talk at times."
"It is how you know so much. Why hasn't he taught you potions and other areas of magic?" The soul piece in Harry would be his last soul piece and it would have had the most knowledge at the time.
"We haven't exactly had a place to call home for long and no place to learn anything like potions. We are getting off track. Do you or do you not formally accept that in exchange for using my seats until at a time when I am knowledgeable about the Wizengamot that you will be my mates? We will not inform anyone else unless all three of us are in agreement. I am hoping that makes you feel better than calling you a donor."
Marvolo looked at Severus, who nodded his agreement. "We do. I will remove Severus' mark."
Harry grinned. "Good. When do you want to do this? I should state the sooner the better."
"The end of the week?" Marvolo thought it would give them some time to get things settled and in place. Harry and Severus nodded their agreement. "Will you stay here?"
"After the ceremony. I need to go and feed, have a good night." Harry headed to the shadows and was gone before anyone could say another word.
TWO YEARS LATER:
"Harry, are you ready?" Marvolo was standing outside the bathroom door. He looked to Severus who was sitting in one of the chairs in their bedroom. "What is he doing?"
"He is making his first appearance at Wizengamot. Lucius gave him the robe." Severus had seen the look of horror on Harry's face when he opened the box.
"Oh. You will have better luck than I will in getting him out of there."
"Tell me you didn't just say that." Severus was six months pregnant and very grouchy.
"He will come out because he doesn't want you upset. You know he will want to make sure you aren't upset about anything."
"If either of you even thinks of doing something like that I will spank you so hard you won't sit for a week." Harry stood in the doorway. "Tell me that Pretty Boy is doing this for some sort of revenge."
"No, those are the correct robes. However, you don't have to don the robe until you get inside the Ministry." Severus was aware that Marvolo wasn't going to open his mouth. Marvolo had been spanked last night because he disobeyed Harry regarding his bedtime. Harry had set bedtimes when he realized they would work all night and take a potion to stay awake.
Marvolo let out a yelp as Harry passed by and smack his behind. "Are you aiming for another spanking?"
"Maybe." Marvolo gave him an impish grin.
Severus tried not to grin. They had discovered that Severus and Marvolo liked being spanked during sex. They loved to feel their husband thrust into them, feeling him hit their flaming butt as he thrust. "You better get going, Lucius should be here soon." Severus held up his hand. "Yes, I will take my nap, I will also keep my legs up."
Harry kissed him. "See if you can keep our troublemaker out of trouble." He pulled Marvolo to him kissing him also. "You make sure he takes his nap and puts his legs up." Harry headed down to meet Lucius, who was waiting for him in the entrance foyer. "Pretty Boy."
"Harry, please don't call me that in the Ministry." Lucius had long ago grown accustomed to Harry calling Pretty Boy and considering some of the names he gave the others, he didn't mind it. He called Goyle Jr. and Crabbe Jr. idiots one and two. He still wasn't sure if Harry knew exactly which one was Goyle and Crabbe.
"I won't." They apparated to the apparition spot outside the Ministry.
"It seems so weird, sentencing Dumbledore for his crimes after all these years." Lucius couldn't believe the day was finally here. They passed by other members of the Wizengamot. It was going to be a full house.
"His precious Order still trying to get him off?"
"No, once they read Granger and Lupin's transcripts, they stopped." Lucius put his hand on Harry's arm. "Harry, are you sure you want everyone to know you are alive? I know you haven't been here before and no one knows who holds the Potter seats."
"I want to see his face as he realizes it was us that brought him down. I want him to realize that I am alive and that we destroyed all of his plans." Harry had waited for this day for years. He wanted Dumbledore to know who destroyed him. Together, they entered courtroom ten. The Wizengamot members took their places and they saw Dumbledore brought in and placed in the wooden chair with chains wrapped around him.
Fudge took his place to start the sentencing. "Before we begin, we have a new member who is taking his seats. Chief Warlock Malfoy will present him."
Lucius rose. "I have a great honor of introducing someone I have known for a few years. He was mature enough at our first meeting to provide me the use of his seats as he needed to learn how our government worked. He has kept informed of all events, made his own choices, after careful research. He feels now is time to take his seats. I would like to present Lord Harry James Slytherin-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Peverell-Potter-Black, we know him as Harry Potter."
Harry rose and gave a bow and took his seat, no one said a word for several minutes, you could hear the scratching of quills across parchment until finally, chaos erupted. Harry leaned closer to Lucius. "Look at Dumbledore."
Lucius had been watching. The man was pale, he looked ready to be sick. He was fighting the chains. "He is a fraud. That isn't Harry Potter." Dumbledore started screaming.
Fudge pounded his gavel. "Silence the prisoner." Aurors stepped up and gagged Dumbledore. "I am afraid we do require proof of your identity. After all, you do not look like Harry Potter."
Harry rose again. "Who informed you of what I looked like? Albus Dumbledore. The same man, who left me to abused by muggles. The same man who left how many children in abusive homes for how many years? Albus Dumbledore stole from me, stole from muggle-born children. He used this Order he created to do those illegal dealing, citing his favorite phrase of for the greater good. Who's greater good? His own. He knowingly used this government to force his agenda. He used Hogwarts to teach our children what he wanted. He banned classes, traditions, and festivals to push his agenda. Why would you trust a description that he provided? A description that describes my father but not me. This description mentions my wearing glasses yet those glasses matched the description of my father's glasses. Why was he so focused on making all of you believe I was raised as a prince? Well, that was until those wards crashed. Magic granted me life as it did twenty years ago last month. Nineteen years it has taken for his world to crash, for his schemes to be discovered. Yet, you want me to prove who I am." Harry turned to the board. He pointed. "I don't need to prove who I am, magic has already done that." Harry sat down.
No one again spoke for several minutes until a clap started and soon the courtroom was filled with clapping wizards and witches. Lucius smiled. "If I had known you could speak like that, I would have insisted on you taking your seats sooner."
LATER THAT NIGHT:
"Lucius showed us the memory of your introduction." Marvolo came out of the bathroom and made his way to their bed. "He was very impressed, so was I."
"I have to agree." Severus looked down at his book. "I want some coffee." Harry arched his eyebrow at Severus. "I know Harry. No coffee, pumpkin juice will do."
"Dumbledore got sentenced to life in Azkaban. Too bad the Dementors can't kiss him." Marvolo climbed onto the bed. He had to feed Harry but they would make sure Severus was comfortable first.
Harry took the book out of Severus' hand and sent it to the bedside table. He pulled Severus into his arms. He kissed him. "It was on the table but as one member pointed out with his crimes the Dementors would get more out of feeding off of his memories. They are putting him down in the lower bowels."
Severus slide down under the quilt that was on the bed. "Harry, can you stoke the fire? It's going to get cold tonight and the snakes will need the extra warmth."
"I put a bunch of warming charms on their pallet. However, I will stoke the fire so you won't get cold."
Severus didn't hide his grin. He should have known Harry would have seen through that ploy. Harry always did. When Severus was under the quilt and comfortable, he watched as Harry pulled Marvolo closer to him. Marvolo tilted his head to the right so that Harry could feed. Severus missed Harry feeding on him but he understood why he didn't. Harry was very overprotective of those he considered his family. He watched as Marvolo began to moan in pleasure from the bite. He also knew tonight Marvolo would be enjoying Harry attention after feeding.
Severus smirked as Harry laid Marvolo flat on his back and began to tease the man. Marvolo enjoyed being teased. He did also but for Marvolo it heightened his pleasure. Marvolo turned his head and kissed Severus. "You taste delicious." Marvolo licked his lips.
Severus returned the kiss with passion. He could see Harry was watching them. He saw Harry give him a small smile. "Severus lay on your back. Marvolo, take him in your mouth while I prepare you. He isn't to cum until I say so."
"Yes, Master." Marvolo responded. Only in bed was that term allowed and only when they were feeling the need to submit. Outside of the bedroom, they were equal. Severus gasped in pleasure as he felt Marvolo's warm mouth surrounded his member. He looked at Harry who was caressing Marvolo's hair. He heard the slap on Marvolo's butt as he felt Marvolo's inhalation of breath on his member. It was something he felt again as another slap landed. Soon a pattern was set. Severus had a warm mouth than the cool air of the room as Marvolo would inhale. Severus closed his eyes as he focused on the pleasure Marvolo was giving him. Marvolo let him fall out of his mouth when Harry entered him. "Pet, don't leave our Little Treasure hanging." Severus had no idea where Harry had come up with calling him Little Treasure but he couldn't get the man to stop calling him it in bed. He let out a groan as Marvolo gave him a quick kiss before going back to working on his member.
"Harry." Severus finally said.
"Soon, Little Treasure, we need Pet to catch up to you."
Severus removed his hand from Marvolo's head. He didn't know he had put his hand in Marvolo's hair. He moved his hand down Marvolo's face. Marvolo looked up at him, his eyes reflecting his desire. He knew his matched Marvolo's and Harry's. "Harry, please." Severus knew he was begging for Marvolo also, he could feel how desperate Marvolo was becoming.
"Cum."
Severus watched Harry's face and knew when he finally gave into own bodies' desire. He closed his eyes as he felt Harry settle down next to him with Marvolo on the other side. He felt the spell clean them off and the quilt was again settled back over him.
"No alarms in the morning." Harry told them as they fell asleep.
