Chapter Fifteen – The Flower Snob
Arrigo sat in the solarium with Lucius as they looked over a book filled with baby names that was magically updated every year. It was sorted by gender, which included a unisex section, then by type of names. Arrigo had suggested that they follow the tradition of naming daughters after flowers since Draco was following the Black tradition of naming children after the stars. They had spent the majority of the hot summer days in a similar manner, while Severus avoided the discussion of baby names. The further along the sullen Potions Prodigy got, the more withdrawn he became. Arrigo had no idea how to bring his second lover out of his shell and any discussion over the child he carried would cause him to leave the room in a huff.
Arrigo pointed to one of the names that interested him on the page, which only caused Lucius to snort, “Primrose, really? It’s far too plebian of a name for the first Malfoy daughter to be born in over a century.”
Arrigo shook his head and chuckled, “I didn’t know you were such a flower snob. Let me guess you’re trying to decide between Amaryllis, Zinnia, and Bryony.”
The blonde’s eyes widened, “What’s the matter with those names, though I am quite taken with Amaryllis. It’s in the Lilly family you know. I don’t know what it is but I think it would just fit my lovely little flower.”
Arrigo kissed his cheek, “Well love, I daresay we’ve found our daughters first name. I do agree that Amaryllis is quite fitting for the first Malfoy daughter in generations. However, I hope you realize I’m going to call her Mary as a nick name since Amaryllis is such a mouthful.”
“I think I can live with that, but don’t think I won’t use her full name. It’s far too dignified of a name for her to prefer the plebian nick name of Mary over her true name.” Lucius huffed and crossed his arms over his growing belly.
The idea of a child preferring her nick name over her full name brought Nymphadora Tonks to mind. He chuckled at the idea of his daughter somehow having the same feisty personality as her older cousin. He smiled, “By chance has Narcissa gotten in contact with her darling sister Andromeda yet? I really would love to meet her little girl; I believe her name was Nymphadora? Didn’t I hear something about her possessing a very rare magical gift?”
Lucius nodded, “Her name was recorded under the very rare Metamorphmagi section of the magical encyclopedia upon her birth even though her mother was blasted off the Black Family Tree for marrying a muggleborn. Narcissa and I have tried to find where that gift may have existed in the Black family tree but I have yet to discover it, but of course you already know that it came from the Tonks line. As you stated he was a muggleborn descendant of the Quintins.”
Arrigo shrugged, “I guess I forgot I discussed that when you were present. Yes, but the Tonks surely were the only descendants from that family line. Wouldn’t it be interesting if I said that my mother was descended from the same squib line as Edward Tonks? I’ve been doing more research and did discover which ancestor was the last of that line. She had one son and one daughter, my mother’s grandmother came from the daughter and Ted’s mother’s grandmother came from the son.”
“I still don’t know how you find so much time to do research on things like bloodlines when you have so many other things to focus on as well,” Lucius snuggled into Arrigo and closed his eyes.
Arrigo could tell that the pregnancy was causing fatigue in his blonde lover. He ran a hand through the blonde’s hair, “I’ve never really been able to sleep well at night, so I tend to sneak off to the library and read until I’m so tired I have to ask a house elf to deposit me in the bed before I collapse in the library.”
“Why haven’t I noticed that yet?” Lucius sleepily mumbled.
“It’s because I always wait until after you’re asleep before I leave. Now, how about you rest love?” He continued to run his fingers through the silky locks.
Arrigo sighed and ran his fingers through his long mane. He had carried the still sleeping Lucius to their bed after placing a feather weight charm on him. He used a point me spell to locate where Severus was hiding, as he hadn’t seen the other man in two days and was growing quite worried. He shook his head when he realized where the man was and shouldn’t have been surprised when he found him standing over a cauldron brewing potions. He sighed, “I really hope you are using the bubble head charm. You know that some fumes can be harmful to our child.”
Severus turned toward him with black eyes as hard as coal and showed the bubble headed charm was in place, “Do you already think me an incompetent parent to forget something as important as a blasted bubble head charm?”
The green eyed wizard shook his head no, “I would never think that about you Sev. However, I think seeing you in this room is doing things to my libido. It’s been so long love and we know the pregnancy has taken. Plus the healer said that we could continue such acts until you were in your last month of pregnancy. Now get over here love.”
“Do you believe me to be so easy to order around? Am I nothing more to you than an incubator and a sex toy? Why haven’t you attempted to locate me in the past two days that I’ve been down here? Have you grown tired of picking out the perfect name for your and Lucius’ daughter that you forgot about me and our son?” Tears welled up in his eyes as he flicked his wand at the potion casting a silent charm that left the other wizard wondering what he cast and what it did. “You know I thought that you might be different than my father. I thought that I would never feel the sting of neglect again, but I was so wrong. Did you even miss my company?”
Arrigo clinched his teeth as his emerald eyes shown with fire, “I gave you solitude because I thought you wanted to be alone. I’ve been thinking about you this whole time, but you’ve been pushing Lucius and me away since the beginning of summer. You refuse to talk to us about your pregnancy and whenever we bring up anything baby related you’d just shut down. What am I supposed to believe besides the fact that you want nothing to do with us or our children? I just don’t know what you want me to do Sev and I’m growing tired of guessing.”
“Do you expect me to believe that you truly care about me? If you cared about me, you would’ve never slipped that bloody potion in my drink. You would’ve respected my desire to wait and not drugged my drink. I believe that’s considered rape in the muggle world. You expect me to believe you’re this benevolent person who loves me, but if that was true then you wouldn’t try to control me so much. You didn’t think I would figure out the slave potion, did you,” he crossed his arms and raised his midnight eyebrow in defiance.
Arrigo slumped against the wall, “I didn’t want you to find out this way. I just didn’t know how to get you to like me. Believe it or not but I know how it feels to be neglected and abused. All I desired was someone to love me like my parents did before their deaths. I guess I asked for too much, however I’m confused how the antidote worked so quickly on you in comparison to Lucius. I thought it wasn’t supposed to kick in until after being exposed to the hormones associated with bonding between a newborn and his or her parents after birth.”
“Yes, well you’ve underestimated me just like everyone else in my life before you. Did you not consider that perhaps I had built up a resistance for most controlling potions in an attempt to prevent myself from falling under their control? I admit that the slave potion still worked on me, but the effects quickly faded as soon as you gave me the antidote. Perhaps it has something to do with the length of time between does that left Lucius still under control. Then again that man has always been the perfect submissive. I believe his father started training him from a young age after the death of Amatus.”
Arrigo slowly walked up to his angry lover and pulled him into an embrace, “I do love you Sev. I admit that I went about it the wrong way, but a large part of my heart would be torn from my body should you leave us. Are you still going to participate in the bonding?”
Severus snuggled into Arrigo’s neck and all the tension seemed to leave him, “I will not have my son born out of wedlock, so yes I will still participate in the bonding. However, after his birth I do not want you attempting to contact me. I will come home only when I’m ready to do so. I will not be kept like some caged bird.”
“That’s understandable,” Arrigo agreed as he kissed Severus’s neck. “Now will you let me have you, love?”
“Are you just going to take what you want if I say no?” A hint of fear appeared in his usually silky voice.
Arrigo stepped back as if he were burned, “Of course not! Now get over here love so that I can make you feel better by releasing some of that tension.”
“No, I don’t want you touching me right now. I can barely deal with the child I am carrying, which was a decision you made without my conscious consent. If I wasn’t under that blasted potion, I would’ve told you that I wasn’t interested in bearing your brats you know.”
Anger flared in Arrigo and he wasn’t sure where it came from, but before he realized what he was doing Severus was nude with his back pressed against the wall. A feral voice growled from his throat, “You will do what I say, submissive.” He bit down on where the shoulder connected with his neck and plunged into him. “You are mine love. You will never deny what is rightfully mine and right now you’re body belongs to me. Why do you think I had Avery and McNair prepare you for me? You needed breaking so that I could take you as my consort. Did you really think I was interested in the like of Bellatrix Lestrange? She been all over me for years, but when Lucius told me of you after joining me, I knew that you were the one I wanted. But then you had to refuse to take my mark. Don’t think I won’t break you now for not making the right choice to join me.” Arrigo forcefully slammed into Severus as his green eyes turned red.
Arrigo awoke next to a sobbing Severus on the hard stone floor naked. His stomach felt uneasy as he looked at the wound on his lover’s neck. His mouth felt like it was filled with cotton with how dry it was. He cleared his throat and croaked, “What happened?”
Severus’ black eyes turned to him, “You did. I should’ve known no one was able to love me. All you wanted to do was build my hopes up so that when you showed your true colors, it would hurt me even more. Just leave me alone, I’m used to treating my own wounds.”
“What did I do? I remember coming down here looking for you. Then finding out that you realized the huge mistake I made slipping that stupid potion in your drink. I just wanted to feel loved so badly and wanted a family of my own that I just didn’t think about the consequences of such actions.” He ran he hand through his hair before rubbing his inflamed scar. He couldn’t shake the feeling that his scar hurting after so many years of not was a bad thing. Dread filled his stomach, “What color were my eyes when I did that to you and did my voice change?”
Severus’ eyes widened, “They were red and yes your voice changed.”
Arrigo stood and quickly dressed, “Bloody Hell.” He nervously ran his hand through his hair before calling Dobby.
The little house elf with tennis ball green eyes, “You called master?”
“Yes Dobby, please retrieved Cory and bring him here quickly, and if you must, bring Cora with him.”
The house elf popped away before quickly returning with both Scorpius and Cora. Scorpius looked at the state of Severus before turning his icy glare on Arrigo, “What did you do to him?”
Cora crossed her arms, “He’s pregnant, what were you bloody thinking?”
Arrigo shook his head, “I’ve got to speak with Mia and Wally. My eyes turned red and I don’t remember what I did to him.” His eyes traveled to the ceiling, “I thought it was gone but apparently the connection still exists. I’ll need to strengthen my Occlumens shields. Please tend to him and I will have to stay away from him until I figure out what the hell is going on.” He rubbed his forehead before turning toward the door, “This might explain more than I like. I thought the horcrux was killed when I sacrificed myself. Why the hell would it return when I arrived in an alternate reality where that horrible man still lives?” He slammed the door behind him as he concentrated on the library where he knew he’d find Mia and likely Wally since the latter never really seemed to leave her side.
Mia’s brown eyes widened as he explained everything that happened. She pushed her frizzy brown hair behind her hair as she reached up in the air and caught a book she wandlessly and silently summoned. She sat down at the table and held her hand over the book as it flipped to the correct page before she started reading, “Why the hell did I not think of that?” Her eyes popped up from the book as she addressed the two in the room with her, “We’ve discovered this is an alternate universe. When you came here it altered your state since the events that rid you of your connection has yet to happen here, the connection returned.”
Arrigo growled, “Well fuck, what am I going to do now? That bloody bastard just took me over and caused me to rape a man that I love. Yes, I did something similar when I slipped him the lust potion on Valentine’s Day, but I really didn’t think about the true implications of such an act until weeks later. I can’t be in the same room with him alone, but I don’t want him thinking that I am abandoning him and our son.” He walked toward the wall and couldn’t help but bang his forehead against it, “I never wanted this bloody connection in the first place. I never wanted to lose my parents to that madman and I planned on changing things here, and now I find out that I will have to sacrifice myself a second time and hope that it will rid me of it a second time. Is there any other way to remove that thing from my forehead?”
Wally grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him away from the wall, “We’ll figure this out Harry. You know we will because we always do. We’ve defeated him once and I’m sure we’ll do it a second time, but you need to pack because we have to return to Hogwarts tomorrow.”
Arrigo growled and wanted to bang his head against the wall a second time even though doing so was already giving him a headache, “This is just sodding great. You know, I really fucking hate my life. First my happy life disappears one Halloween night because a rat betrayed them to a madman. Then Dumbledore places me on the doorstep of my horrible muggle relatives because the blood wards would protect me against the remaining madman’s followers. However, they never protected a young child from the abuse of his relatives not to mention the metal scars of being known as freak. Then I was so excited to find out that I was a wizard and found this wonderful world. Only to later be persecuted from the world I thought I’d finally find my place because I was this famous wizard for all the wrong reasons. I follow the prophecy and I defeat the madman, but then everyone wants a bloody piece of me. Again no escaping my horrible life, so I disappear to a reality where no one knows my name. I’m happy for the first time in my life with two men I would’ve never guessed would make me so, and then I find out the parasite I’ve thought was gone is still there.” He just started laughing like a madman. “Merlin knows that I shouldn’t have expected anything more when it comes to my life.”
“Do you think he knew who he was possessing? Or was he just attracted to harming Severus?”
Arrigo slid down the wall and pulled his legs up to his chest as he sat on the floor, “I don’t know. I don’t know what triggered it. I guess I might not have had my wall up as strongly as I have in the past and that may have allowed him to slip through. I just don’t understand why I didn’t remember him taking control. I fought him when he attempted it back in our fifth year. Perhaps I didn’t expect it because I thought the connection was done? I need to get back to our tower so that I can speak with Salazar. I fear if there’s a way to remove this thing besides facing the madman and apathetically standing before him as he casts the killing curse on me a third time.” He rubbed his eyes and sighed, “Why did I ever believe that my life would be different.”
Arrigo sat next to Lucius at the staff table and Scorpius sat next to Severus. Mia was next to Madam Pomfrey and Cora sat next to McGonagall. Mia had switched to assisting the healer this year because she figured it would go best with her research. She wasn’t certified in the current reality as a healer but she figured it wouldn’t take long for her to pass her exams a second time.
The Emerald eyed wizard looked over at his other lover that he’d hurt so badly and noticed the new Potions Professor was busy staring down at his plate. He hadn’t been able to speak with the man after he had Scorpius and Cora tend to his wounds. His guilt lessoned a little bit when he was informed that their son was not harmed by his horrible actions. He also knew that he wouldn’t be left alone with Severus even after working all night to strengthen his mind shields. He didn’t want the madman from getting in. He watched as the first years were sorted though he did not recognize one of them. He could only figure that Bill and Dora were still too young to be at Hogwarts. His mind wasn’t really on the welcoming feast because it was filled with planning for the new arrivals to their tower. Narcissa and the Prewett twins agreed to move into the tower so that they would have more help taking care of Draco when he came in a couple of weeks. He also had to worry about Severus never forgiving him for what he did. Severus was never known for his forgiveness if he took out what Harry’s father did to him out on him. She sighed and rubbed his once again glamoured forehead.
He had thought having the weight of the whole world on his shoulders had disappeared after the defeat of Voldemort. If it had, it returned two fold because he felt more pressure than he ever did as a student at Hogwarts. Part of him just wanted to run away but the glimmer of Gryffindor that shone within him prevented him from doing so. He really needed to have a discussion with Salazar’s portrait. There was just too much that he still needed to get done and since his relationship with Severus went tits up, he had no guarantee that history wouldn’t repeat itself unless he acted quickly. He only had a little less than four years left before that fateful night. He did take out Peter but there was no way of guaranteeing that someone else wouldn’t betray his parents.
When dinner was over, he was forcefully led back to their rooms by his very pregnant lover. The man’s eyes shown with strength that Arrigo wasn’t familiar with seeing there. He was pulled into the common room and pushed down on one of the leather couches before the man turned toward him, “What the hell did you do to Severus?”
Arrigo sighed and looked down at the floor, “He’ll never forgive me. He told me no and instead of respecting his wishes I violently forced myself on him. It doesn’t matter what caused it because he’ll never believe me. I will never forgive myself because I promised him that I’d never treat him like others have treated him in the past.” He slumped further in the couch and refused to look at Lucius.
“You raped him!” Lucius growled, which caused Arrigo to look up. “So, am I to believe that Lucius is next? If you treat one of your pregnant lovers in such a manner, what’s stopping you from doing the same to your children? I never thought you were a horrible person that I would have to protect him from you as well.”
Arrigo choked on the thought that he’d done something so horrible that Amatus came out. Lucius’ twin truly believed that Arrigo was a threat, “No, I would never. I’ve strengthened my mental walls to make sure that bastard never gets through again. I really thought I’d gotten rid of his parasitic piece of his dark soul. If I had known, I would’ve never been alone with him in the first place. The worst thing is that I don’t even remember doing it, but I could tell by the look in his eyes what I had done. Damn that self-appointed Dark Lord to the depths of Muggle Hell.”
Amatus crossed his arms and his eyes narrowed in an icy glare, “You need to start explaining right now. Why the hell do you have a connection to that bastard that ordered his followers to break Lucius?”
The brunette groaned, “It’s a long story, but I guess you deserve to know the truth about me. As long as you promise not to let anyone else know. You already know that Scorpius is your son Draco from the future, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. We are from an alternate reality where time is about twenty years ahead of this one, but I’m still working figuring out how time passes faster in my original reality than this one. I was born in 1980 to James Potter and Lily Evans, so I am technically a half blood, but as you know, so is Severus and Tom Riddle.”
He ran a hand through his hair a second time, “So, when Severus was applying for a position at Hogwarts in order to spy on Dumbledore for Tom, he overheard a mostly crackpot seer give a prophecy regarding the Dark Lord’s downfall. In my reality he was in love with Lily, so he was devastated when the Dark Lord decided that I was the child who was supposed to one day destroy him. Severus swapped sides and was a double agent as a spy. On October 31, 1981 a couple months after my first birthday, Peter betrayed my parents and the Dark Lord arrived at their home in Godric’s Hallow. James died trying to stop the man from getting to Lily who had run up stairs to save me. I survived the killing curse that night because my mother sacrificed herself to save me. However, since the horrible beast had already created Horcruxes to insure his immortality, a piece of his soul attached itself to my forehead making me one.”
Arrigo closed his eyes feeling more fatigue than he had in a long time, “So, I was sent to live with my magic hating muggle relatives who abused me from the moment they found me on their doorstep while they spoiled their own son, a son that was only a couple of weeks older than me. When I finally discovered the Wizarding world, I was frightened of the many people who wanted to congratulate me. My first, second, and fourth years I had to face Voldemort in his various forms, however at the end of my fourth year he was resurrected.”
He barely felt the tears slipping from his clamped eyes, “He attempted to possess me in my fifth year, he used your son Draco to let Death Eaters into Hogwarts by threating yours and Narcissa’s lives in my sixth year, and took over the Ministry the summer before my seventh year. I went on the run with Wally and Mia and we managed to destroy all of his horcruxes before meeting him and his followers at Hogwarts. I ended up walking to my death and sacrificed myself by taking the killing curse for a second time expecting my death. However, the act worked similarly to what my mother had done for me and he managed to kill his Horcrux and I lived. Narcissa lied to him and told him I was dead because I admitted that Draco was back at Hogwarts. In the end I managed to win because of some very lucky circumstances and he was vanquished from my reality.”
Arrigo managed to force his eyes open and looked at his pregnant lover who was currently possessed by his twin brother. He waited for the protective twin to speak and it wasn’t long before Amatus did. He moved a piece of hair behind his ear and sighed, “So, somehow this connection reformed when you arrived in our reality? What are you doing to make sure you don’t hurt Lucius or Severus again?”
The defeated teen wiped away his tears, “I know that I will not allow myself to be alone with Severus again. I think I might not allow myself to be alone with Lucius either. I think right now is fine because we’re awaiting Narcissa’s arrival, but perhaps I should sleep in a different room that Lucius and Severus. I think that the two could comfort each other and never have to worry about me doing something horrible to them. I’m going to talk with Slytherin’s portrait in hopes that there’s another way to disconnect this connection. How about you keep Lucius company while I go do that?”
Amatus nodded before taking a seat in the chair off to the side of the fireplace.
Arrigo got up and walked down to the library with hopes that he would find his answers shortly. Part of him wished he knew the spells that Hermione used to gather materials and search for information. He would have to someday remember to ask her about them. His mind was elsewhere so he was a bit surprised when he discovered he already stood before the portrait, “What’s another way to remove a Horcrux from a living being besides taking the killing curse from the creator of it for the third time?”
The dark haired Hogwarts’ founder raised an eyebrow, “Why do I have a feeling this has something to do with you?”
Arrigo nodded, “I thought it was gone but something happened when I crossed over that caused it to reappear. I know that Fiendfyre and Basilisk Venom are two ways to kill them in inanimate objects, however I think either one of those options would kill me. Please tell me you have potion that will remove it from me and allow me to transfer it to an object so that I can kill it.”
“You know I believe there are some spells that would allow you to do that. I have not heard of a potion working in a situation like that. If you think about it, it’s a spell that allows one to create one, so why would a potion assist with transferring it? I believe the book that holds the answer you seek is somewhere over on that bookshelf,” he pointed to the tallest bookshelf in the room, which only caused Arrigo to sigh more and wish that Mia would join him shortly.
