Chapter Eleven – Slytherin’s Library
Arrigo woke the next morning with a feeling of peace he hadn’t felt before. He was complete and it wasn’t until he opened his eyes that he realized why. He was snuggled against the naked form of Severus while Lucius spooned him from behind. He was in a love sandwich, which attributed to the miraculous feeling of being cared for that he’d never experienced before. He surely lacked quite a bit of care while he lived with his aunt and uncle. His friends showed their concern and care at Hogwarts, but it never kept the nightmares away. He inwardly smiled before deciding to wake up the seemingly content Severus. He started by kissing and nibbling on the neck and shoulders before him.
The dark eyed wizard moaned under his ministrations, which only caused his staff to harden more. He pushed forward in between the fluffy pillows as he ran his fingertips along the bare-arms and down the chest of his dark haired lover. “Severus honey, I want to have a repeat of last night. Do you think you’re up for it?” At that moment his hand reached his lover’s awaiting manhood and he stroked it a few times.
Severus jumped and quickly looked around, “What am I doing here? Why am I in Lucius’ bed and why am I completely nude?”
“Do you not remember what happened last night?” Arrigo raised an eyebrow as he continued to move his hand up and down his lover’s quickly hardening member.
The paler wizard shook his head no, “Did you slip me a lust potion or something. I know those things sometimes have memory loss as a side effect.”
Arrigo nodded, “It was in the dessert. You begged me to take you, Sev.” His other hand snaked down toward the other wizard’s warm heat, “I’m afraid that I can’t go without now that I’ve tasted how wonderful you are as a lover.” He pressed in with one finger and started to prepare him.
Severus gasped, “What if I’m not ready for something like that right now?”
“I’d say that you’re just lying to yourself,” Arrigo responded as he hit the bundle of nerves that had Severus moaning louder. He pressed a second finger in continuing to stretch the ring, “I’m going to watch your face this time as you come around me. I want to see that pleasure etched in your expression. I want to see what I make you feel and by the end I’ll have you begging me to take you.”
Severus only nodded as tears started to form in his eyes. Arrigo pressed him onto his back after pulling his fingers out of the prepared ring. He whispered a cleaning charm and lifted his younger lover’s legs to his chest before pressing into the lovely warm and tight channel. He stopped moving when he was fully sheathed before letting the legs drop around him and bending down to kiss his lover. He broke from the kiss, “What’s the matter love?”
“I can’t tell if you’re any different from them,” Severus gasped as tears started to slide down his cheeks.
Arrigo brushed them away with his thumbs, “I am because I don’t do this to control you. I don’t want you because I believe I’m entitled to have you. I want to show you pleasure and I won’t move until you beg me to.” He moved his mouth down to the pert nipples. He had one in his mouth while he rolled the other between his thumb and forefinger. “I want you to beg me to move and to desire the release. I want you to realize that I care for you more than a quick shag. I want you Severus. I feel complete when both you and Lucius are around. Please let me in love, let me show you how I truly feel.”
Severus shook his head, “I’m afraid that you’ll just leave me once you get what you want.”
“I’ve already had you once Severus and it only made me want you more. I don’t ever want to leave you love. I want you and Lucius to be with me for the rest of my life and into the next. I want us to have a full triad soul bond. I want our magic, soul, and minds joined. I want us to be a family and raise children together. I want everything and I can’t imagine my life without you or Lucius.”
The tears fell faster as a broken sob sounded, “Do you really want me?”
Arrigo pressed his lips once again against the silky smooth one’s belonging to the man before him, “I want you love. I want you more than I’ve wanted another person but just as much as I want Lucius. The two of you complete me. Now I’m waiting for you to ask me to move.”
Severus nodded, “Please show me the wonders of consensual sex.”
Arrigo stifled a laugh at Severus’ choice of words as he moved in and out of him painfully slow much like he had the night before. He continued at that pace until his gorgeous lover begged for more. After that point, it didn’t take much more before the two of them were screaming in climax. Arrigo whispered, “Beautiful,” as he watched the look of pure pleasure wash over his lover’s face. He pulled out and cast a quick cleansing spell. He lay beside his lover and pulled him to him as Severus broke down for the second time, “You are so perfect. Do you know how perfect you are?”
Severus shook his head no as he allowed Arrigo to hold him.
After Severus fell back asleep and he took care of an even more needy Lucius, Arrigo’s mind remembered something important, “How could I have forgot? Sometimes I act so stupidly.” He quickly dressed and rushed out of Lucius’ quarters and toward the second floor girls’ lavatory. He needed to get into Slytherin’s lair and find what knowledge was left there. He’d gotten that contraception spell from a book he he’d originally found in that room connected to the time portal chamber. Surely the counter spell would be contained in that same library. Why hadn’t he thought about it sooner?
He was back in the Chamber of Secrets before he knew it. He continued to the end of the narrow passage and gasped as the smell of rot filled his nose. He never considered the perks of casting a preservation spell on the basilisk corpse. He managed to cast a bubble head charm and sighed in relief, as he wasn’t sure how long he would be able to maintain it. He looked around for the little snake sculpture that would allow the bridge to form over the underground pond. The cobra statue was located on the opposite wall from the Slytherin one. He hissed the Parseltongue command, “Up.”
The ancient stone bridge rose out of the water. Arrigo mused that they probably used a similar spell that caused the staircases to move. He couldn’t help but wonder if Ravenclaw had shared her secrets with Slytherin before he left. He shook his head as he walked across the bridge toward the hidden chamber. The stone wall dissolved into an arched doorway with a solid wooden door, which opened as soon as his hand touched the door knob.
As he walked into Slytherin’s personal library, he realized it was a bit different than the one he encountered before leaving. One book shelf was dedicated to time travel and since some of the titles were more recent that it updated itself. His mind went back to the missing books from the Hogwarts’ library, “Is it possible that the reason why I couldn’t find any books on time travel in the library was because they were automatically transported here?”
“You are quite astute defeater of my heir,” a calm voice reminiscent of the older Professor Snape resonated throughout the room.
Arrigo looked around trying to determine where the voice had come from. It didn’t take too much time before he recognized the familiar form of Salazar Slytherin staring back at him from a portrait hanging over the stone fireplace he’d initially missed while looking around the room. “I really hope that you don’t mind how I ended your line.”
“Well you have yet to do that now, haven’t you? I will also admit, though you must never share this with another living being, I was wrong about the muggleborns as my descendants became something much worse than my fear of the muggleborns ever foresaw.”
“Wait, how do you know that I defeated your heir if I have yet to do so?” Arrigo really didn’t know what to think. He was in the past after all, his past, but it was still Salazar’s future.
“You see, I’ve always had a bit of Seer abilities. Also when I left Hogwarts Castle after my disagreement with the other founders, I did so through my time chamber. I discovered something about it that I never considered and created this library. I didn’t want just anyone to have access to my time travel journals or books on the subject, so they automatically sort here when anything on the subject enters the castle. I believe the book you’re looking for is over on that shelf,” he pointed across the room to where a book was sticking out a bit from a row of books.
“Thanks,” Arrigo muttered as he walked over to the book shelf. He took the book in his hand as he sat down at the desk to read. He looked through the table of contents for contraceptive counter charms and went to the page listed. “If I am in the past, why is this room so different from the room that I left in the future? You know besides the expected ageing.”
The man’s grey eyes focused on him, “So you have yet to figure that out, have you? Well, I wouldn’t be a proper professor if I just answered your questions. I would suggest you use the brain you possess that allowed your sorting into my house. I’m sure you possess more of the traits than just ambition. Try using some of the cleverness one must have to be truly cunning.”
Arrigo rolled his emerald orbs, “Fine, be that way. I swear that Hermione would’ve made an excellent Slytherin since she would’ve answered the same way. It really is too bad that her blood status would never have allowed her to be sorted there.”
“That or she would’ve done well in Ravenclaw. I would suggest the book over there if you’d like to find a potion that allows you to trace your genetic history. Surely you didn’t believe it only existed in pureblood family Grimiores. Of course there was a resource they all originally got it from.” He rolled his grey eyes, “With being the creator of such an obscure potion to help in determining those sorted into my house, a copy of it exists in one of my previously published potion journals.”
“Thank you Sir,” Arrigo spoke not sure how to address the ancient portrait. “Do you mind if I remove these books from this library?”
He shook his head, “I do not mind, however I would suggest that you utilize my old rooms. They may be found behind that wall in between those two bookcases over there. Just state, ‘Heir no More,’ in Parseltongue and you will be prompted to select a different password. These rooms were lost with the sands of time, and it’s likely that no one ever knew of their existence. I created them without my counterpart knowing of them.”
“Thank you,” Arrigo whispered walking toward the blank wall and hissing the password in Parseltongue. He reset the password in English so that his lovers could access them. The room was far larger than the staff chambers belonging to Lucius and Arrigo was a bit shocked when he realized they seemed to access a whole tower. He couldn’t help but wonder why no one knew of the tower until he looked out one of the windows from an upper floor. He soon realized the tower we built in the middle of the forbidden forest, which left him wondering how far North West the Chamber of Secrets was from the entrance in the girls’ Lavatory. He walked out of the lovely room and continued to explore the varying rooms along the spiral staircase before heading back down to the large living quarters. He smiled at the vision of having the rooms full of children.
He walked to the other end of the quarters and found that it connected to part of the dungeons, which made access to his new rooms quite easy. He walked a bit farther down the hallway before he found the familiar entrance to his lover’s rooms. He smiled at the idea of blindfolding his lovers and showing them his new rooms. He entered the rooms and called Dobby.
The elf popped before him and bowed, “Yes Master?”
“Are you aware of my new rooms?” Arrigo asked and the elf nodded. “Good, I would like you to transport all of the items in Lucius’ rooms to it please. I want his bedroom items in the very top bedroom in the tower. Oh and please do put both occupants in the bed into a heavy sleep before popping them over there with the bed. After you’re done with that, please keep them under the spell while you move all of Severus’ items to the same room. When you’re finished with that please come back to me for further instruction.” He sat down on one of the leather chairs near the fire as he practiced the counter charm to remove the sterilization. He would visit the nurse once he was ready to attempt it.
When he was ready to attempt the counter charm, Dobby popped before him. Arrigo smiled, “Okay, now if I may have you select a room for Scorpius and Cora and more their items there. I would like you to do the same for Wally and Mia. Then I want you to select one room for Regulus Black and another for the Ravenclaw Marlene McKinnon. Please let me know when you are finished.”
The elf popped back away and he cast the counter charm on himself and made a quick journey to see Madam Pomfrey. He smiled at her exasperated look when he asked her if she could check his fertility. He simply thanked her and turned around when she stated that the blockage was cleared and walked out of the room in order to avoid any questions regarding the charm and counter charm he’d used. He didn’t plan on allowing that contraception to become common knowledge. He was a bit selfish sometimes anyway.
It was on his way back to the dungeons when Dobby appeared before him again. The elf spoke, “I moved all of the items you requested. Since Regulus and Marlene were sleeping, I moved their beds with them on them. Scorpius and Cora were sharing the same bed, so I put them under the same sleep spell and moved them to their new room. I moved all of the items Wally and Mia left, but I believe they were planning on returning tonight. Would you like me to retrieve them while they continue to sleep and move them directly to their new room?”
Arrigo smirked, “I think that would be excellent. Go ahead and put them under the same spell and advise Narcissa of their return. When you’re done, I will meet you in the common room of the tower. I want you to hold that sleeping spell until I ask you to release it. I will see you down there soon, Dobby.”
He whispered his new password as he reached the alcove that marked the entry of his rooms. The door opened and he walked in and headed directly into the dining room before checking out the kitchen. It was fully stocked with anything I could want to cook with. He wasn’t in the mood to cook that morning, so instead he called forth one of the Hogwarts elves and ordered a nice breakfast spread and asked to have it served on the large dining room table. He sat down on one of the many leather chairs that littered the sitting area and pointed his wand at the unlit fireplace. While he waited he quickly recast the temporary sterilization charm, but he didn’t have to wait long before Dobby appeared before him. He smiled, “Please release the sleep spells now and perhaps you should hit them with a spell that will awaken them. I can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions.”
The elf just nodded and popped away. The reaction was instantaneous as everyone seemed to wake at the same time. He heard Wally’s voice exclaim, “Bloody Hell where are we?” It wasn’t much longer as foot falls were heard on the spiral staircase and the first guests arrived in the sitting room.
Arrigo could only assume that everyone got dressed before heading down, which he was thankful for as there were only two males he wished to see completely nude. He watched as Mia’s brown eyes widened as she looked around, “Where are we?”
He smiled, “I found the personal rooms of Salazar Slytherin and figured I’d share. The headmaster and none of the professors know about this tower or the rooms. I think you’d be even more interested in his personal library. Well, perhaps not the portrait but the rest of it, I’m sure.” He turned to the baffled red head standing behind Mia, “I had some of the kitchen elves deliver a full breakfast spread to the dining room. I’m sure you’re hungry.”
Wally nodded his head and walked out of the room. Arrigo smiled at Mia, “I’m going to harass my lovers. If you could explain to the others, I’d greatly appreciate it. Cora and Cory are probably still sleeping together. I’m not really sure how Regulus or Marlene will respond, but I think the two had a nice date the night before.”
Arrigo found his two lovers still sleeping under the familiar blankets. He looked around the room and smiled at the forest views from the bank of windows surrounding the circular room. He looked up and was excited to see a skylight before jumping into the bed. “Oh Lucy, I want you to assume the position. I must have that wonderful little arse under me. Severus, I expect you to get up and prepare to take me while I’m enjoying my little blonde submissive.”
Both of their eyes snapped open and they looked over at him. They didn’t move fast enough for him, which only caused him to growl, “Lucius, hands and knees now.”
The blonde squeaked before assuming the position in his fully nude glory. “You’re so sexy love. I can’t wait to plunder your sweet little hole.” He kneeled behind him before plunging right in and stopped as he was fully buried. He looked over at a gape mouthed Severus before waving his wand and casting a preparation spell he had found in that sex magic book from Slytherin’s library. “I’m ready for you to take me Severus. I won’t move until you’re deep inside of me. I want you to have the control. Lucius is getting restless Sev. Come here and take charge, love.”
His large black eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights. He cleared his throat, “You want me to penetrate you? I’ve never done that before.”
Arrigo nodded, “You will be one of two men that I would ever allow. Now get over here before I imperious your arse.”
The dark haired wizard nodded and quickly climbed behind Arrigo before lining himself up. Arrigo felt his body shudder as his second lover filled him, “Now I want you to hold onto my hips as you pull out. If you want I can move back onto you as I pull out of him. Oh and don’t worry about holding back.” He quickly summoned Lucius’ cock ring before pulling out of Lucius and pulling Severus in deeper. It didn’t take long before Severus was exploding within him, while he exploded in Lucius, and Lucius sprayed all over the bed. Arrigo cast a few quick cleaning charms, “Now we all need to get dressed so that you can see our new rooms. This tower has plenty of space for Narcissa, the Prewett Twins, and all of our children.”
Upon arriving in the Dining Room, the three found a large group of people eating around the table. Scorpius looked over at them and demanded, “Arry how did you ever find Slytherin’s personal chambers?”
Arrigo shrugged, “The portrait in his personal library told me how. I already knew where the library was located in the Chamber of Secrets and frankly I have his gift at my disposal.”
There was a loud gasp from Marlene, “You speak Parseltongue?”
He nodded, “Yes Ms. McKinnon, I do speak the language of snakes. However, this does not make me a dark wizard or one that supports the archaic beliefs in blood purity. Since muggleborns do not just magically appear from the woodwork, one can surely trace their roots back far enough to be associated with a pureblood family. Not even the Blacks as pure as they would like everyone to believe, they just disown and strike any members from their records when they end up being a squib or marrying a muggle. That’s how we get wonderfully talented muggleborn witches like Lily Evans, who is descended from a Black squib.” He looked over at Regulus, “So, I guess you’re related to her as well. Your family just keeps getting bigger and bigger doesn’t it Reggie?”
Regulus’ hazel eyes darted over to Arrigo, “I know that my mum is completely nutters. I admit that I wasn’t aware of any squibs in my background, but then again I’ve been drinking her poisoned water all of my life. I don’t mind counting Lily as among my distant relatives.”
Arrigo smirked as the thought about something that might just get to Regulus, “What about the Weasleys? You do know that you’re related to them as well right? Your cousin Cedrella did marry Septimus Weasley after all. Then again you are more closely related to Lily and James as James mother was your great aunt and Lily’s grandfather was her older brother.”
Regulus crossed his arms, “Oh and I’m still supposed to believe that you’re related to me somehow from the paring of great grandfathers younger sister Belvina marrying Herbert Burke. However, I’ve reached the branches from below them and have yet to find any mention of a daughter being born to them.”
Arrigo’s teeth clenched as his emerald eyes narrowed, “First of all, you know that I legally changed my birth name after I lost my parents. Secondly, my mother married a muggleborn and was disowned as well as blasted off the family record. You know much like your darling cousin Andromeda. No one speaks of her, now do they? She married Ted Tonks, but I bet if we did a blood based genealogy on him we’d find him linked to a pureblood line that’s died out. You know that their five year old daughter is a Metamorphmagus. That’s quite a rare talent and definitely didn’t come from the Black or Rosier lines, so it must be traced back through whoever was Ted’s squib ancestor. Though it is funny that the only family known to produce such a rare trait frequently was the Quintin family, of course that name died out in the male line generations ago; hence why being a Metamorphmagus is so rare now.”
Wally perked up, “Weren’t the Quintins the ones who originally produced and sold Quintin Black?”
Mia smacked him across the back of his head, “Is that all you can think about Wally?”
“I believe that Aberforth offers it at Hog’s Head, but I don’t know who’s taken over the production. Perhaps one of the daughters who married into another pureblood family, but if I remember correctly, I believe their keeping that Surname unknown.” Scorpius nodded before turning back to Arrigo. “I’m shocked with the amount of knowledge you have stored in that head of yours, Arry. I thought it was Mia who was the walking and talking encyclopedia.”
Arrigo’s mouth dropped open, “What? I read too you know. Not everyone can rely completely on Mia’s brilliance.” He looked over at Wally as if accusing the wizard of doing just that.
Wally just shrugged, “Mia’s smarts will likely be inherited by our future children. Just think if one of them inherited her brilliance with my strategic mind.”
Scorpius shivered violently, “That would likely lead to the rise of the next Dark Lord. They’d be a freckled git to boot. I’d hate to see who’d follow him or her.”
Cora smacked his arm, “Hey now. That’s my brother you’re talking about there and not all of us Prewetts have freckles. My complexion is quite clear of them.”
“Yes but my superior genetics will ensure that our children will have flawless skin and a suitable hair color. Malfoy’s are known to breed true after all.” A haughty expression that reminded Arrigo of the prat he went to school with crossed Scorpius’ face.
Severus raised an eyebrow, “Too bad you’re a Delacour then. A bastard can’t claim the name of his father after all.”
Scorpius narrowed his eyes, “I wouldn’t ever want to claim that bastards name, however he did pass on some good genetics. You know as long as power wasn’t in the equation after all. A Malfoy would sell out his own family members after all if it meant a positive favor in the eyes of their so called master. Wouldn’t you agree Lucius? You’d be ever so willing to sell your unborn child to Voldemort if it would raise your ranks in his followers. You’d sit back and watch as your teenage son is beaten, raped, and used as a sex doll so long as you remained in power. Wouldn’t you? You sick bastard.”
Arrigo grabbed Scorpius by the arm and pulled him out of the Dining Room, “I thought we discussed this already Draco. He is not the same person you knew as your father. He would never do that to Draco. He doesn’t want anything to do with the death eaters and he is happy that his tormentors have been prosecuted. I know that things were difficult for you and that you went without closure when he died in our time. However, when you return to our time things will be different. Things will be for the better.”
The blond shook his head, “You still haven’t figured it out yet, have you? It doesn’t matter what you change here because when we go back to our time nothing will have changed. Lucius still will have thrown me under the bus, he will have still drunk himself into oblivion, and he will have still jumped off the Owlery tower in the middle of winter taking his own life. He’s not alive for me to get my answers from. I could assume that something similar happened to him, but I have no way of finding the closure I so desperately deserve. What did I do to deserve his mistreatment? Was I not good enough as a son? I did everything for his favor but it was never enough. He always expected more because a Malfoy had to be the best. However, he never admitted to me that he was a bloody queer. No I had to find that one out by seeing him with his death eater buddies and then the whole world knew as soon as the war was over. Do you know how much that added to my stress? I had all of my old friends asking me if I was just like him. If I enjoyed what they did to me like my father obviously did.”
Someone cleared their throat behind them and the two turned to see a very pale looking Lucius, “Arrigo, I think you have some explaining to do. Why do I have the feeling that this is my son from the future?”
Arrigo rubbed his temples as he tried to find the right way to tell his lover that he was from the future, “Lucy it’s because he is and so am I. We can’t allow anyone in this time to really find out because we’re changing things and I’ve already changed much. Let’s just say that Scorpius here went through much more than our Draco ever will. He was born in 1980 to start, so we’re making him older this time around. He was forced to take the mark because you were in jail after being captured in the Department of Mysteries. Riddle expected him to fail at the task given and when the task fell to another’s hands for completion, he was forced to do whatever was requested of him because the man resided in his home. His father allowed the mad man to have run of their Manor.” He turned back toward Scorpius, “Cory, were you ever able to return home?”
Scorpius shuttered, “No, Cora and I found a flat near Diagon Alley. We’re thinking about buying a country cottage to raise our children in, but I fear that I will never return to my family home. The Manor will just have to go into disuse after my mother dies. Father’s already dead after all.”
Lucius pulled the boy into his arms as tears welled up in his eyes, “Scorpius, I know that I am not your father, but know that I would never willing let something like that happen to my child. I was never treated well by my father and I would do everything in my power to make sure my son knew that he was loved. I’m sorry that things changed who I was and that I wasn’t able to protect you like a father should. I can only hope that this time around I will be a worthy father. I fear that it will only happen because I have two strong people to help me. I don’t know how I could’ve continued on without Arrigo and Severus. You will also have your mother and Fabian and Gideon. I’m sure that those two will cause you to grow up with a mischievous streak. I would never want you in Slytherin even if Severus is the head of house. I’d want you to go where he and I should’ve. We’d want you in Ravenclaw where you could flourish instead of flounder under the pressures of being a Slytherin.”
“I shouldn’t blame you for what he did. You are two different people and though I cannot find my closure through you. Perhaps seeing you as the father I wished I had, will help me become the father my children will need. I guess part of me is jealous because your children will get to know a completely different man than who I was saddled with.” Scorpius rested his head on Lucius’ shoulder as the other man continued to console him.
Arrigo quickly covered it up as Regulus and Severus walked into the room, “They’re finally reconciling. It’s not every day one has the opportunity to get to know your younger half-brother. Abraxas was never a communicative father, so Lucius had no knowledge of ever having a younger brother. However, Scorpius was raised knowing about his older brother and the family he was shunned from. I guess they both have some adjustment to do, so perhaps we should leave the two alone for a bit.”
A/N: I know that Draco showed some regret after going to the trial; however it takes a bit more than that to fully heal. I admit that I didn’t expect to let the future secret slip to Lucius but then it just came out as I was writing. Also, has anyone guessed the truth yet? Next chapter needs some reworking as people I had present previously will be replaced by our future visitors. The chapter after next shall lead to the reveal of what I’ve been hinting at. Oh and the house elves couldn’t find the counter charm because they didn’t have access to Slytherin’s library.
