Chapter Fifteen
*
A feather light sensation, like floating just above calm water, watching the sky as clouds slowly shifted. An ease of weightlessness overwhelmed his darkness. Harry breathed—a silent breath that he could neither feel nor hear. Voices, as if deep beneath water, rumbled above him. He could not understand what they were saying, but it was a soothing feeling that embraced him as the voices continued.
His magic was humming, a bee like sound in his ears. He could start to make out the words, but could not understand what they meant. It sounded unlike any language he had heard before it. However, soon light floundered through his vision and shapes formed into his eyes. The dark masses were blurry and moving in an odd back and forth dance.
He felt a surge of magic flow into his stomach, pooling and circling. It was both an overwhelming sensation but oddly comforting. He smiled as the warmth surrounded his chilled form making the darkness disappear and his eyes begin to focus.
“It is done,” a low, raspy voice said from nearby. “You brought him just in time; otherwise I fear he would have been lost.”
“Is he unharmed?” It was Severus who both spoke and touched his hand, smoothing over his palm and running fingers over his own in a gentle manner.
“He is very weak,” the voice proclaimed. “However, it seems he for now is contained as well as the child. He will need to be closely monitored throughout the pregnancy, but he is no longer a danger nor is the child.”
“Thank the gods,” he heard Severus say breathlessly. If Harry had not known better, it sounded nothing Snape-like, but the man had been saying and doing things out of character often lately.
“We will be back within the hour,” the voice continued. “He needs to feed immediately.”
Soft footsteps, inhuman in their sound, left the room. Severus tightened his grip, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead and then to his eyelids, venturing further until those lips touched his mouth. Almost instantly, Harry whimpered, wrapping arms about the man’s neck and opening his mouth to the tongue that sought entry.
He opened his legs and allowed the man to settle into them, driving almost instantly between them. He cried out, his body quaking as the thrusts left him panting and eager for more. He could not think through them as they continued until the breaking point where a white burn traveled wayward and scorched his form in the most pleasuring way. He was breathless as his body found renewed energy in it.
He let out a deep sigh as kisses were planted over much of his face. Smiling, he opened his eyes. Suddenly he was aware that there was dampness on his cheek and not from his own eyes. He stared wide-eyed at the man above him, who was unreservedly allowing the tears to fall. Never had he believed Severus was even capable of crying—not certainly when it came to him. But before him, the man freely wept his fears and pressed a tender, relieved kiss to Harry’s lips, then chest, and finally his now slightly protruding stomach.
“I thought I had lost you,” the man said hoarsely. “If I had not left you…”
“Severus,” Harry pulled the man towards him, to look him straight in the eyes. “I’m here and healthy.”
Severus rubbed his face into Harry’s palm, pressing a kiss to the skin and then pulling Harry into a tight embrace. “For that I am entirely grateful.”
“Where are we?” Harry said looking about the elegantly decorated room. It was rich in gold and silver embellishments, and paintings of exquisite forms that walked over water and paled under moonlight with a glow of pure innocence.
“Veldirium,” Severus said as if Harry would know of it. “This is the place where your kind lives, but is just beyond a realm I am told of purebloods. I have not gathered many details as I was preoccupied with your state, but I am sure they will be answering a good portion of our inquiries.”
Harry mutely nodded and pressed a kiss to the man’s rapid heartbeat. “What happened?”
“The child was taking much of your magic as well as your life essence in order to grow,” Severus said softly. “I am told you are of a rare breed in which carries a great amount of uncontrollable power and thus our child inherited it. The council was able to contain yours and the child’s magic otherwise you would have not survived.”
“Is the…”
“Yes,” Severus said watching Harry smooth over his protruding stomach. “The rate in which it grows is a great deal more than a wizard or witch child. However, the child is very healthy and growing as the council has stated at a marvelous rate. I fear, however, that is the reason for your insatiable appetite. You require almost a constant feeding schedule.”
“So,” Harry begun. “I need to feed often.”
“Indeed,” Severus said. “However, your pregnancy will last only two months as opposed to the usual four.”
“Not much time to prepare,” Harry said breathlessly.
“I must concur,” Severus said smiling.
“What rare breed?” Harry finally questioned.
“Among Incumutis, I was told, there are several different branches of heritage. Your particular heritage is the strongest bloodline that only appears every hundred years. Though you were born a partial, your blood is a full Incumutis heritage and thus your magic is both unbelievably strong but also uncontrollable.”
“Are there others?” Harry said astonished by the explanation.
“Only one,” Severus watched him carefully. “The King…”
“The what?!”
“He will be meeting with you shortly,” Severus said rather shortly. “He has expressed the need to speak with you urgently as he fears your powers can only be trained under him.”
Harry was speechless and it showed as the man grasped his upper arm tenderly.
“Harry,” the man said gently.
“I,” Harry croaked, but said nothing more as the man gave him an understanding stare. Footsteps sounded from the corridor outside and the door opened to a very tall individual. The man’s hair was of the darkest black and his eyes emerald orbs that shimmered as if beneath the cover of water. His skin was dark against the pearl of his teeth, exposed fangs, and white of his eyes. There lay a crown of fine metals atop his head and beside him stood a slightly shorter man bearing similar features, but of less beauty.
“An honor,” the man’s voice floated through as if sung. “Mister Harry Potter, you gave us quite the scare. I was even forced to join our council in administering the bond of you and your little one’s magic.”
“Um,” Harry said quirking an eyebrow. He watched Severus spell their clothes back onto their bodies and then proceed to bow to the man as he walked inside.
“No need for that, Severus,” the man said chuckling. “I hardly think it proper for the mate of my relative to do so.”
“Relative,” Harry said softly.
“Yes,” the man said smiling and sitting beside him pressing a dark skinned hand to his, the contrast immense. Severus seemed to stiffen off to the side, but said nothing. “You and I are cousins of a like inheritance. I must say, I was entirely beside myself when Tretan told me of you and then when you were brought to my doorstep. I am Stefan Christian Naught, King of our kind, and entirely pleasured in meeting you.”
“Uh,” Harry stuttered. “Nice to meet you, Lord Stefan?”
“Oh Stefan will do fine,” the man said a bit chipper and much like Dumbledore had a twinkle about his eyes. “I will certainly be calling you Harry from here forth.”
“Sir,” he said disregarding the man’s name. “I thank you very much for having saved me and my child, but I am very confused…training?”
“Ah forgive me,” Stefan said lightly. “I was caught in my excitement of your discovery. I will be training you in order to control your powers once you have given birth to the child. As I am sure you are very interested in our kind and what to expect, you will also be given all the information you require. As Severus has expressed, you are important to the wizarding world just as much as to ours, so we have agreed that you should remain in both. However, as you are of royal inheritance, you must play an active role in ours.”
Harry let out a deep sigh. “I don’t mean to be rude, but I just barely found out about this creature…can I be given time and my own ability to make the decision of how to proceed?”
“Oh of course,” the man said smiling. “I shall give you all the time you need. You will, however, require training so you can control your powers, I fear.”
“Thank you,” Harry said giving the man his own smile.
“Considering you have been through much,” Stefan eyed his stomach and received a look of pure possession from Severus. “I think you should return to Hogwarts, is it?”
“Yes,” Severus came beside Harry. “I quite agree. Since the bond has been placed, you will no longer be a danger.”
“I will be having my second,” the man behind Stefan stepped up and to the bedside. “—Damien Inkrit check in on you from time to time. He is especially knowledgeable in our kind’s pregnancies as he has served to my mate, Lady Yula.”
It was a mute agreement as Stefan and Damien nodded to each other. Stefan clasped his hands together in another mannerism that reminded Harry of Dumbledore before bestowing him with an enchanted smile.
“I would be untruthful if I was to say I was entirely upset at our having met,” he said again eyeing Harry’s protruding abdomen. “You should take the necessary time and if anything were to come to pass, I am at your full disposal as is Damien. Once the child is born, the bond will have been severed so necessary steps must be taken to help you in bonding the child’s magic temporarily as well as training your own. However, we can save all of this for another day. You and Severus have a schedule to keep I am told.”
“Yes,” Severus said asserting himself into the conversation.
“I will be checking on you and the child tomorrow evening,” Damien said respectfully with a bow.
“So glad to have met you, Harry,” Stefan said giving Harry yet another enamored smile before leaving the room after Harry nodded and said a quick ‘you too.’ Damien bowed and sought after the man who had left the room, leaving Harry and Severus to their own devices. After a few moments silence, Harry turned to his older mate and sighed deeply.
“I think I’m ready to go back,” he said with a small smile. “I don’t know if I can take any more information for right now. It feels like I was hit by a train.”
Severus came to his side and helped him to his feet, wrapping an arm about his waist with his arm slung over broad shoulders. “We will Apparate, so prepare yourself.”
He nodded before the usual sensation overtook him and soon their chambers morphed around them in a swirl of darkness turning to crisp morning light. Harry let out another breath, his hundredth of the day, before he was helped to sit on the couch.
“Will I be this weak the entire pregnancy?”
“I am afraid so,” Severus replied curtly. “The Headmaster has set in order our leave during the pregnancy and my classes will be watched over by a professor I have especially hand chosen.”
“What about you-know-who,” Harry said looking at Severus expectantly. “He should hear word of my absence of classes and…”
“The Headmaster has put a plan into order,” Severus said sitting beside him. “Harry, you have been through a great deal. For now, worry only of yourself and let the Headmaster and I handle the needless details. Is that understood?”
“Yes,” Harry said softly rubbing a hand over his stomach once more. It was both a happiness that bellied at the thought of bringing a child into the world and a sadness of great magnitude. How could he possibly take care of a child when he was one himself? How could he bring a child into this world when Voldemort was still pining after his murder? It was enough worry that it started to crackle underneath the bond and was recognized by Severus.
“Harry,” the man said pulling him from his musings. “I will be here every single step of this journey. I realize that I am not the most qualified when it comes to emotional support, however I am just as much a part of this child as you are. I will protect this family with my life.”
“You are giving into your soft, mushy side Severus.”
“How kind of you to remind me of it.”
Harry gave his older lover a smile, unlike the few before it that day, it was genuine and relaxed. Letting himself relax back into the couch, he let the day’s events seep into the back of his mind. If he thought over it all now, it would only make him upset. Deciding he would let Severus take care of things for the time being, he let the man embrace him in the private of their quarters.

“How are you feeling?” Dumbledore was watching him as if any moment, he would break into several small pieces.
“Fine, sir.”
“Harry,” Dumbledore started after the short honorific reply. Harry could not help that he felt the man was to blame for the series of events filling his long few weeks. Severus sat beside him, but kept his distance in light of the Headmaster. “I cannot begin to express my apologies, but I do hope that in time, you will forgive this old man for the sins against you.”
Harry felt tightness in his chest. Dumbledore’s eyes were grave with sadness and it seemed he was plenty sorry for how things had come to a head, but Harry wasn’t sure how long it would take him to forgive the man let alone trust him again. Reserving his thoughts for another day, he nodded his head hoping that it would suffice an answer.
“Headmaster,” Severus began. “Harry will require monitoring from one of his kind. Damien Inkrit will be paying him a visit tomorrow evening and we should know more about the current situation. However, it would seem that there is plenty we are still unaware of which hopefully Mister Inkrit can bring light to. I would much prefer to bring Harry back to my estate.”
“What would you like Harry?”
“I just want to be where ever Severus is,” Harry said softly.
“Hogwarts is heavily warded Severus,” Dumbledore said with a slight frown. “I do not trust that your residence has the adequate warding especially during a time such as this.”
“You risk a great deal,” Severus said smoothly. “However, I feel the comfort of my home would be a better suit for the pregnancy than these walls. There are too many prying eyes within the school and I cannot risk exposure of his pregnancy or our bond. I can place a few more wards on the residence. I have already added the nursery for when the time comes.”
Harry almost lost his mouthful of tea upon the statement. Severus had already started the nursery? He felt a swelling of warmth in his belly; a feeling that was coupled with some flutters he gathered may be from the child within. He placed his hand lovingly to his stomach, watching how the orb beneath moved underneath his tender care. Incumutis children certainly grew quickly, but it brought about a few more questions of how growth outside the womb would be. Harry choked at the thought. Did he have a uterus? How did male Incumutis become pregnant?
“If you would allow me to assist in the warding, I do not see a problem with allowing you to stay off grounds. However, Harry will need to return after the pregnancy has come to an end. We will talk another day on the details.”
“Can I ask something?” Harry felt a bit odd having Severus talk on his account. He was fully capable of talking on his own behalf. Dumbledore nodded for him to proceed. “What will happen once I have the baby? I refuse to leave the child all day…”
“Of course,” Dumbledore stated with a small smile. “I am partly to blame for these circumstances in which we find ourselves. I will require you still attend certain courses, but I will allow for you to take a partial day at least for the first few months of the child’s life. From there forth, we shall discuss any additional details. Is that reasonable?”
“Yes, sir.”
Severus clicked his tongue, but said nothing further. He stood and bowed to Dumbledore. “Well as we have come to an understanding, I would like to gather a few things and speak with Harry privately before we seek to return to our residence and ward.”
“Ah yes indeed. I shall speak with Professor McGonagall as she has been asking of Harry since your return. I would also like to inform you Harry that your god father Sirius has been inquiring after you for the past two weeks, and I am afraid I have almost run out of reasons as to which you two are unable to speak. Might I suggest an owl to him to ease his worries?”
Harry smiled, “Of course Headmaster. I will owl him a bit later.”
Severus groaned deep in his throat, and Harry found himself laughing along with Dumbledore who promptly stood and pressed an old, worn hand to Harry’s.
“Thank you for seeing me,” he said lightly. The knot was back in his throat at the sight of how purely defeated Dumbledore looked. “I will spend a good amount of effort in order to ensure you and your child’s safety. It is my pledge to you.”
“Thank you,” Harry said his throat again too tight to say it above a whisper.
Once the Headmaster had left, Harry felt an odd sensation of relief. Severus was watching him for several moments before leaning over and capturing his lips. It was a tender, soft kiss that brought about more feelings of relief within him coupled with arousal that surged to his growing erection.
“As I suspected,” Severus said smiling against Harry’s lips. “You need to feed.”
“Yes,” he said breathlessly. Severus pulled him up into his arms and walked to the bedroom, pressing a kiss to his forehead before putting him gently on top of the covers. He covered him, pressing hips to hips and drawing out a low groan from the younger of the two.
“I shall take my time enjoying you,” Severus whispered heatedly into his ear. The sensation rippled through him bringing out his carnal urge to ravage the man. He pushed it down and allowed the slow divesting of his outer robes and clothes. Severus planted kisses to each portion of newly exposed flesh, driving Harry to madness with need.
Soon, he was naked beneath his older lover, writhing in his need. Fingers teased his perk nipple while the two fingers were pressed to his lips. Licking them much like a cat before pulling them into his mouth, he moistened them and watched Severus’ eyes glaze over with lust. The fingers that had been teasing his nipple moved beyond him as the man touched himself, hissing as the arousal was almost too much. Harry found pleasure in seeing the man beside himself with need and sucked a bit more diligently before the fingers were pulled from his mouth.
Harry let out a low moan as fingers penetrated scissoring inside him before turning to three; and then Severus was between his legs, pressing the head of his erection to his puckered entrance.
“So much for slowing down,” Harry rasped as the crown pushed passed the yielding ring. Severus smirked above him, driving the length fully inside and effectively shutting Harry up in the process. It was only three thrusts later they both found their release. Harry had drawn back, his neck arched impossibly in a mute cry while Severus bent inward, biting the flesh of his exposed neck as he came violently inside.
It was a time of pure bliss and free from the worries of today or tomorrow. He could fall into it, uncaring to what lay ahead of him; an unattainable pleasure only brought about when Severus touched that part of him deep inside. He gave way to it; gave way to sleep and comfort forgetting for the moment that he would need to face the truth of it all sooner or later.
