When the floo opens up we step out into a huge foyer of the large Manor and I have to stop to collect myself as a flood of emotions fills me. Lucius moves forward in the house taking it in. The rich red velvet curtains hanging from the four story high windows, the polished marble floors, the pristine antique furniture and the large expensive pieces of moving art on the walls. I move to his side and snap my fingers. A little elf appears in front of me looking shocked to see me.
“Mistress Celestia!”
“Ruggins, where is mother?”
“In her room, she doesn't leave her room mistress, not since she returns without Master”
I nod and move to the staircase, hastily climbing up the three stories to a dark corridor hidden behind a portrait, I can hear Lucius footsteps following close behind me. I stop outside a set of intricately carved gold plated double doors and push them open with ease. The room is pitch black and littered with empty bottles and the smell of stale cigarette smoke. I can make out her form against the giant bed across the room.
“Mum, mum are you awake?”
No response. I slowly approach the bed and put my hand on her side. She jolts awake and pulls away from me, skittering so far back she almost goes off the other side of the bed.
“Mum it's ok, it's me”
“Celestia?”
“Yes, we came to see if you were ok”
She looks from me to Lucius who stands in the doorway, leaning against the frame nonchalantly and watching her closely.
“Are you doing alright mum? You look horrible. The elf said you don't leave this room”
“Why are you wasting your time on me Celestia? Shouldn't you be with your husband?”
“And her children” Lucius adds
“You have children? It's been…”
“Two years mum, I had twin girls a few months ago, Willow and Ember, and I'm raising Severus daughter Marietta. Just found out I'm pregnant again as well.”
“You've done well for yourself, he seems like a fine man and I'm sure your children are beautiful Celestia”
“Why don't you come and see them Athene? Get out of this house, have some dinner?” Lucius comments cooly.
“ yes, come back with us mum, please? I worry about you here all by yourself. There's another war coming you know?”
“I know, they were here looking for your father, wanting to recruit him. Told them he had been dead for two years now”
“I'm not going anywhere Celestia, I belong here. You think all your friends don't hate me already?”
“Mum, they know it wasn't your fault”
“Celestia, I've lived my life since you and your sisters were born hating myself. If I had never cheated in the first place—“
“We wouldn't have our beautiful daughters and would still have a miserable life”
“There is no we Lucius, we were young and stupid and it ruined me and them. Because of one night everything fell apart Lucius. They're your daughters now, they're doing good. They don't need me meddling in their lives, no good can come of it. I should have told you, I should have given them to you.”
Lucius moves across the room and climbs onto the bed beside her and pulls her frail form onto his lap. He pulls her head against his chest and strokes her hair. She snuggles into his chest and breaks into silent sobbing.
“Hey, don't do this Athene. Don’t cry babe”
“I wish you had let me know what was happening here Athene, I could have helped you, helped them. I would have”
“I couldn't face you Lucius”
“Why Athene?” Lucius asks her, tipping her chin up and brushing the hair out of her eyes. The moment she makes eye contact with him, their lips come together in a heated kiss which quickly breaks apart when Lucius shoves her off his lap.
“I can't do this Athene, I have Narcissa, I love Narcissa”
“And that is why I couldn't see you Lucius” she whispers sadly. “Please just go, take care of the girls and let me be, congratulations Celestia, be well. But don't ever come back here again”
Back at number 12 Grimmauld place Severus stands pacing, holding a hysterically screaming, hungry Willow in his arms and cursing me under his breath for taking so long when the floo opens and spills Lucius and I back into the room. Severus all but drops Willow into my arms with a frustrated growl before storming off. I quickly latch her to my breast before gently sitting in the wooden chair at the head of the table.
“Is she ok Celestia?” Comes Astra's voice from the end of the table, her head resting on a ginger mans shoulder and I look at her questioningly.
“This is Charlie Weasley, were dating” she smiles gently, wrapping her arm around his.
“It's nice to finally meet you Celestia” he smiles at me.
“Likewise, mum is fine I suppose, locking herself away. Told us to never come back, to leave her be”
“We can't just leave her there Celestia”
“I think we have more important things to worry about, she's a pureblood, she's safe”
“The burrow was ransacked this morning”
“And no one knows about this place?” I ask carefully
“No, no one we don't trust”
“Actually” starts Harry uneasily “when the three of us broke into the ministry that day, on our way out Yaxley grabbed hold of Hermione, we lost him here before moving elsewhere”
“I don't know who that is” I respond quietly
“He's a death eater, and one you need to watch out for, you didn't find it prudent to inform us of this before now Potter?” Severus inserts icily, appearing in the room with Ember.
“Honestly Professor, it slipped my mind”
“Slipped you mind? Do you understand the lives at stake Mr. Potter or did that also slip your mind?” Severus drawls annoyed
“Severus enough, he's been through a lot. We have all been lulled into a false sense of security since the war, it's been quiet and people have let their guard down. It's not his fault. We know now, and I believe finding somewhere else is more important than fighting amongst ourselves”
“What about our house Celestia? The wards on it are un breathable and there's plenty of room for everyone”
“The ministry is unaware that you even owned property Celestia, where is it?”
“Saltfleet, in Lincolnshire, on the shoreline” I respond thinking carefully.
“Family property?”
“No sir, newly built when I came to England ten years ago, the wards were up on the property before the building began. It's safe. I am more than happy to open up our home to the order”
Severus clears his throat and looks at me with an annoyed glance.
“Is there something you need to say?” I look at him coldly.
“A word alone” he drawls gesturing to the door.
“Willow is eating, if you have something to say, just say it Severus”
“Do I get any say before you open up our house?”
“Are you kidding me? Do you have an objection?”
“Grimmauld place isn't a personal property, no one lives here. It's not invading on anyone's space or life”
“These people have fought hard to win this war and if I can help I will. Are you going to turn them away?”
“These people would have killed me the first chance they got during the war Celestia”
“You played a convincing part Severus! Of course they were unsure! I was unsure of you as well, if I had thought you were a danger I would have done the same Severus, do you wish to deny me now as well? It is my house! I will do as I please, by all means if it upsets you go back to Cokesworth”
“I am asking you to reconsider, they will eventually find your property and bring the battle to your doorstep”
“And I will be ready for them when they come Severus, I am decided”
“When would you like to make the move?” Kingsley asks me, giving Severus a sympathetic look.
“I think it would be wise to move soon, this evening after dinner?” I ask looking around the table and gaining a collective nod.
“It gives us all time to collect what we need, is your house connected to the floo network?”
“No, Astra and myself can apparate directly into the house. We can make rounds bringing everyone there after dinner, it's better I think if it stays off the floo network, it will keep it off the map longer”
“Will you take Draco there with you?” Narcissa asks calmly “I believe our family will be a target, our betrayal during the war did not go unnoticed. I want to be sure he is safe”
I look to Severus who nods and I agree.
“It will give you two time to acquaint” Lucius comments seriously.
“It'll be nice having Draco around, him and I are pals” Astra smiles and Draco nods.
“Pals?” Ron asks rather stupidly
“Mates, friends. We were raised in Canada and there is, believe it or not, a language barrier between us some days. Ten years here has helped, but old habits die hard I suppose.”
“Canada? You will have to tell us all about it! We have never travelled in that direction” Arthur chimes in excitedly.
“Are you ok with us bringing Teddy?”
“Teddy?”
“Our son, he's the same age as Marietta”
“Of course, it would be nice to have a child her age for her to play with” I smile and hear Severus snort behind me. “problem Severus?”
Severus stares at me blankly and shakes his head reluctantly.
“Him and my husband don't get along” Tonks tells me quietly “it's an age old feud”
“Then perhaps it's time to put it to rest?” I ask looking to Remus who nods and then to Severus who glares at me. “Severus, I will not tolerate your venom under my roof. You need to stop—“
“It is my fault Celestia, his hatred for me is not unreasonable. James, Sirius and I tormented him throughout school,made his life miserable. More James and Sirius, but I did little to remedy the situation.”
“Then perhaps it is you that needs to fix this and not Severus at all”
“In Remus Defence, he was the only one that still trusted Snape in the end” Harry adds hopeful this information will help. Remus stands and moves towards Severus, who watches him unblinking. Remus extends his hand to Severus who stares at it like a rancid piece of meat.
“It is time to put this behind us Severus, please accept my heartfelt apology. We were stupid little boys. We are grown men now, James and Sirius are dead, it is just us now.”
Severus snorts and then catches my warning glare, he glares back before extending his hand. Remus smiles and pulls Severus into an awkward one armed hug, Severus quickly pulling away and looking at Remus coldly.
“It's a start I suppose, where is teddy now Tonks?”
“With my parents”
“I apologize, who are your parents? I have kept to myself mostly”
“Andromeda Black and Ted Tonks” she smiles proudly.
“So you are Andromeda’s daughter, I had no idea, I apologize. That would make us cousins by marriage then correct?” I smile and she nods.
“If you choose to accept that”
“Have you forgotten who I married? I don't care for any of this pure-blood bullshit” I finish, glaring at Narcissa. “Perhaps there are some other age old feuds that need to be laid to rest”
“Perhaps there are, but it is more difficult than a handshake and an apology. This isn't a small issue Celestia”
“Perhaps, but it is a start. Your mother is family to me, please bring them with you. There is plenty of space. I may not understand your feud, but I understand the bond between sisters, your family has been trying to prove itself, this is another move in the right direction” I comment watching Narcissa carefully. She thinks for a minute and nods “I will try”
“We will all meet back here tonight at dinner time, I want everyone to stay together in pairs if at all possible, don't put your wands down”
As everyone leaves Severus and I are left alone in the dining room.
“My love, sit with me.”
“I don't wish to be in your company right now Celestia, I don’t want you involved with the order. You are putting yourself at risk unnecessarily”
“Severus, I know you are afraid I will be hurt or killed, but with or without the order that could happen. I love you, I love our family, but we will never live in peace until this is over” I finish pulling Willow from my Chest and handing her carefully to Severus and taking ember to feed her.
Severus moves quietly into the seat beside me, wrapping his cloak around Willow as she snuggles in to sleep against his chest.
“I want you to brew another batch of that potion Celestia, for my peace of mind. If something was to happen to you, or to one of our children. I couldn't carry on anymore”
“Severus, Celestia? Do either of you need anything before we head to the burrow?”
“No, I'm going to go lay down for a bit if the girls will allow it, I'm feeling pretty worn down lately”
“Pregnant and nursing will do that to you dear, especially with twins. Let me gather stuff back at the burrow and I will take them for awhile so the two of you can rest”
“I'm ok Molly, really. But thank you” I smile carefully standing “Severus, can you show me our room so I can lay down?”
Severus stands placing his free arm on the small of my back and guiding me upstairs and into a small bedroom. He lays Willow down in the transfigured crib and takes ember from me, wrapping her carefully up with her sister and pushing me back onto the bed with a smirk.
“Marietta”
“She went with Nymphadora to shell cottage to get Teddy. Stop worrying witch, it's been a month since we've had a chance”
“A month since you took me in the hospital bathroom?” I smirk.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures”
“And you are always desperate”
“To be inside you? Of course” he responds pinning me to the bed. With a wave of his wand the door closes and locks, the room is silenced and we are naked. He closes his mouth over mine, the taste of tea still on his lips. He nudges my legs apart gently and quickly guides himself into me with ease.
“I'm desperate?” He smirks as he thrusts hard into me and I groan out, wrapping my arms around him and quickly matching his thrusts. The sex is quick and rough, he hold off until I break and let's himself come with me, dropping exhaustedly onto the bed. When I look up at him he is already asleep. I wave my wand so he has some pants on and I am fully dressed before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep. When I wake it's dark outside the window and there is a loud banging on the door, waking both of the girls and sending them both into a screaming fit. I stand tiredly and pull open the door. Lucius stands on the other side.
“Dinner is ready”
I turn picking up the girls from the crib and Severus appears beside me, pulling his shirt back on and carefully buttoning it up. He kisses me on the neck and moves from the room. I follow behind him and take my place at the table trying to situate myself to feed both of the girls at once. Severus flicks his wand and the chair changes into a plush armchair and two pillows materialize on my lap. He pulls his cloak from the hook on the wall and covers me so I can feed them before setting himself on the arm of the chair and crossing his arms. Molly hands Severus a plate of food and takes her seat digging into her own dinner. Severus carefully cuts off a piece of the meat and offers it to me carefully. Dinner wraps up and immediately We get to business.
“How many people can you apparate at a time Astra and Celestia?” Comes Kingsley's voice
“Three or four” I respond “I’m going to take Severus and the girls first, then I'll come back for more. Astra can bring the Lupins. Put them in the left corridor on the second floor, it should be large enough for them and Teddy”
Astra nods and they get ready and disappear. She pops back moments later with a smile and moves to Severus.
“I'll take Severus and the girls, it's probably not a great idea for you to be going back and fourth too much while you're pregnant”
Severus takes the girls from me and Astra grabs Marietta and they're gone. Several trips later it is just myself, Harry, Hermione and Ron. They gather around me and I apparate us to my house without incident.
I look around the room, waving my wand and illuminating the giant chandelier that hangs in the giant foyer. People sit in every corner of the foyer on my oversized burgundy leather couches sipping glasses of wine and whiskey. Astra has music blaring and is dancing with Charlie, some of the younger crowd joining in with them.“Ok everyone, it's getting late, I think we should sort out lodgings?”The music dies and everyone crowds around me.
“First floor rundown. Kitchen, dining room, there are several bathrooms, and a small library. There is also a room in the back with electricity, there a television and movies and stuff for those of you who know what that is”
“You own a television?” Harry asks surprised
“I have a few guilty pleasures Harry. I lived in muggle America for a few years before I came here. Then lived here for six years before I started teaching, I had to occupy myself somehow”
“What other muggle stuff do you take pleasure in?” Hermione asks with a smile.
“Up on the second floor, the door at the top of the stairs is a ballroom, but It contains a grand piano, this is one of the places I spend a lot of my time. Other than that, not very much”
“What do you watch on the television?” Arthur asks curiously.
“Music, crime Dramas, medical dramas it's fascinating to watch how well muggles cope without magic really. “
I snap my fingers and several elves appear in front of me, bowing deeply much to Hermione's horror.
“You have elves?” She asks looking completely disgusted
“I assure you they are both free and treated fairly Hermione.” I smile and turn my attention back to the elves. “Can you please show our guests to their rooms? Everyone is on the second floor” I smile to the crowd pointing up the marble staircase. Astra can be found on the third floor and myself and Severus stay on the fifth. The fourth floor is the main library”
“The entire floor?” Hermione asks delightedly
“Yes, the entire floor. I enjoy reading very much. The basement is my potions lab and the wine cellar, help yourself to the wine but I ask you to stay out of my potions lab. At the end of the hallway behind the stairs there is a double door that leads out onto the grounds. There is a pool and gardens. Out the front” I continue pointing to the large doors behind me “is the beach, the grounds are protected three miles in each direction from the house, so you are safe to wander if you wish to. Meals are served at 7, noon and 6 in the evening, if you need anything before then please ask the elves. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed for the evening”
I climb the marble staircases and enter our sweeping bedroom. And enter quietly closing the door behind me and joining Severus who stands hands clasped behind his back, staring out the window looking over the ocean.
“The girls are in bed?”
“Yes”
“Perhaps we should be as well love” I whisper coming up behind him and running my hands up his chest under his shirt and gently scraping my nails over his warm flesh, eliciting a deep velvety groan.
“Come to bed my love”
He turns to face me and his lips come gently down on mine, cupping my face and looking me in the eyes. His hands slide down slowly, trailing down to my swollen breasts, his mouth lowering and trailing kisses down along the curve of my neck and lowering the straps of my dress before letting in pool on the floor at my feet. I step carefully out of it and make to undo Severus buttons but he pulls my hands away and scoops me up carefully in his strong arms and brings me to the bed, laying me down among the soft pillows and running his hands over my soft body. Leaning in to press a kiss to my belly before unclapsing my bra and letting my breasts fall free.
“I daresay that motherhood has made your body quite a bit more…alluring” he whispers against my neck before closing his mouth over one of my nipples, gently nipping and sucking at it with another deep groan. He hooks his fingers in my panties tearing them from me with ease and lowering his mouth to me. His hot breath tickling my sensitive core before his mouth captures me completely, his tongue administering lashes expertly, bringing me crashing down in only minutes. He points to the headboard, his favourite place to have me and I comply, moving quickly, waiting to feel his warm body against mine. He comes up behind me, entering me roughly and pulling me back against his chest, holding the headboard as he begins pounding me brutally. His mouth finds his favourite spot on my neck and he wraps himself around me, biting and kissing me as he gives in to his carnal needs. He covers my mouth when I start to tremble and fucks me harder to my second release before letting go of me and thrusting to his release dropping forward onto me panting hard. When he moves again he drags his nails painfully down my back and starts picking up a pace again when the girls start to cry. He groans and pulls away from me, grabbing a pair of clean pyjama pants and pulling them on before picking up the girls and bringing them to me.
“Looks like it's going to be quickies for awhile” he whispers with a smirk and a kiss.
“It appears so.”
