Chapter 15 – Knock, knock, who’s there?

As the opening feast began to draw to a close the prefects from the other Houses rose from their tables calling for all first years to follow them to the dorms. The only people still remaining in the hall were the students from Pyrrhos House. There was a mixture of expressions on their faces. Most seemed excited and couldn’t wait to see what the new dorms and common room looked like. Only Draco seemed apprehensive, his ice mask slipping and allowing his emotions to clearly be displayed on his face.

Severus strode towards their table but didn’t stop. He called out a gruff command of “Follow me” before exiting the great hall. There was a mad dash as all the students, except Harry bolted from the room. No one wanted to get lost and have to ask the Headmaster where the dorms were after he’d shown people previously. He may be the Headmaster but he was no Dumbledore, and that is a good thing for the most part and he still didn’t seem very approachable. Harry just smirked before calmly climbing over the bench and following the group at a sedate pace.

Once he had exited the great hall he was left alone in the empty corridor. This didn’t faze him; he closed his eyes and started walking. He could find his way blindfolded through the castle if needed, it was true he didn’t know where the new common room was, but he knew how to track his mate. Inhaling the intoxicating scent of his mate that still lingered in the corridor, he followed the pull that was tugging at his heart and drawing him to his mate. As he progressed he imagined Severus striding purposely through the hall with a trail of students running after him, trying to keep up. He could tell that he was getting closer as he climbed the moving staircases. Deciding that it might be best to open his eyes for the latter part of the journey, so that he didn’t need to walk around all the time with his eyes closed to find his common room, he noticed that he was on the fourth floor. He didn’t have much further to go until he caught up with the rest of his House.

Everyone was waiting by a portrait, of what he wasn’t sure as Severus was blocking his view. It was obvious that they were all waiting for him but he just shrugged and smiled before turning his attention to his mate.

“The portrait behind me guards your dorms and common room just like any other portrait. However there is no password” Severus allowed this information to settle and waited for the murmuring to die down before continuing. “As you pass through the portrait hole for the first time you must place your hand flat on the centre of the canvas. You will then say ‘Ignis in corde mentem animumque’ this will enable the portrait to communicate mentally with you to allow you entrance. After tonight’s initiation only in the presence of myself can anyone else be added, so don’t even think about trying to key in your friends.” One look at Severus’s stern face was enough to warn off everyone except maybe Harry from trying to key anyone into the portrait.

Harry was craning his neck trying to see around Severus so that he could catch a glimpse of the portrait. All that he managed to glimpse was a flash of red as something moved... it looked like a feather... ‘Oh hell no! He wouldn’t!’ he thought.

Severus caught Harry’s mental outrage and smirked at him. ‘Oh yes I did’ he thought back at his mate.

Harry could feel the smugness coming of his mate in waves as he stepped aside to display as huge portrait of none other than Fawkes. ‘This is just great! Not only do I have to put up with the mental bird in real life but I have to put up with a portrait of him too! I’ll go just as insane and Dumbles! In fact I’m positive the feather menace is what sent him doolally or at least push him over the edge!’

While Harry was having his mental rant he missed the students starting the process of entering the room. He also missed his mate moving around to stand behind him, only noticing when a familiar hand was placed on his shoulder. His little jump caused Severus to chuckle mentally, it wouldn’t help his reputation if he started tittering in the hall ways, before telling Harry over the link, ‘I’m off to our room’s luv. Take your time to relax and explore your new common room, just so you know you don’t have a dorm. Oh and the portrait.... it was Hogwarts idea.’ This earned a growl from his mate but he just chuckled again ‘now, now luv, it’s for protection. The way the link is created means that it can’t be fooled with polyjuice potion. Have fun’ he said before departing to return to their room to try and relax. He could tell through his link to the castle that most of the students were safely within the confines of their Houses and teachers were patrolling the halls in the vicinity of the rest, so they would be caught soon.

Harry was the last one to approach the portrait. He tried to place his hand in the centre of the canvas, where it should touch the chest of Fawkes, but he was having none of it. As soon has his hand was about to touch him he’d dash out of the way. Harry was getting more irritated with each passing second while Fawkes seemed to relish ‘the chase’. Finally he was allowed to recite the spell, “Ignis in corde mentem animumque” A rush of magic passed through his mind and he could instantly hear Fawkes. Of course because this was Fawkes, aforementioned bird was singing MC Hammers ‘Cant Touch This’. Harry just shook his head before thinking to the bird, ‘You need to broaden your material Fawkes, you’re beginning to repeat yourself’ this cause Fawkes to pout and moodily swing the door open for Harry.

All of the other students were exploring the common room when Harry finally entered. He stopped dead in his tracks and stared in awe at the sight. The common room was breathtaking! It was at least 10 times the size of the Gryffindor common room. They were obviously in one of Hogwarts many towers. The ceiling was 50 feet high! Of all the things a tree seemed to be growing along the walls and spiralling towards the roof. Along its journey the tree made natural perches and alcoves. He wasn’t the only one starting in wonder at the sight. Harry ran his hand along the bark of the tree and confirmed that yes it was a real tree. He could feel the natural magic from it confirming that it was actually alive. ‘Merlin he loved magic!’ He couldn’t be sure but he thought that it may be some sort of blossom tree; he could just picture the blossom drifting down from the ceiling on a sunny day. The tree weaved above and below huge stain glass windows that adorned the walls. It really was gorgeous.

While walking around admiring the tree and the windows he noticed three doors leading off from the room. One was obviously the exit as that was the way he came in. The exit was more of a stone arch than a door and had ‘infrangibile vincula in ignem aeternum’ inscribed above the door. ‘I’ve got to learn more Latin’ he thought. He quickly peaked through the other doors but it appeared as if they lead to the dorms. He realised then that they must be in the double tower on the far east side of the building, looking out over the hills, this made him smile. He turned his attention back to the tree again, loving the feel of the bark under his hand.

Eventually drawing his eyes away from the tree he noticed a large fire pit in the middle of the room. It was about two feet off the ground with cream coloured bricks surround it. Staring into the fire he felt a sense of calm wash over him. At first he thought that it was only him but on closer inspection it seemed that a lot of the other students were also feeling the same calming effects. Crouching down by the fire allowed Harry to look more closely at the bricks surrounding the fire pit. Each brick seemed to have very tiny delicate runes carved into it. Unfortunately he didn’t have a clue what they meant. Maybe Sev would be able to help him translate them.

Harry gently brushed his fingers across the bricks of the fire place before jumping back and falling on his arse in a heap when the bricks started to move. The fire rose another two feet, and a secondary ring appeared at the base of the fire. The new base was about three feet wide and fully encircled the fire. It seemed to be made out of the same cream coloured bricks as the fire pit, these also being covered in runes. Large red cushions materialised evenly spread out on the base around the fire. They looked like they could be used for meditation. He remembered from his training with Fawkes that it was important for phoenix’s to meditate in the presence of fire and this would be perfect. Students began to gather around the newly changed fire and as more of them gathered the fire changed again. This time it raised four feet in the air and created two more bases which turned out more like stone steps with cushions on. It looked like something out of Greek mythology, something that wouldn’t look out of place in the coliseum.

Everyone seemed to be looking at the fire but to weary to approach. Harry had no such qualms and boldly approached the fire and climbed to the top of the steps and sat down on a comfy cushion. He stared into the fire for a couple of minutes and when he sensed that others were joining him he started to close his eyes. Before they closed he noticed that sitting on his right was Luna who was staring serenely into the fire.

Slowly entering the meditative state, he let his mind become blank and calm. It was one of his favourite things apart from flying and spending time with Severus and he tried to do it as often as he could. Thinking of Severus caused his mind to become not so blank anymore. He was assaulted with a very vivid flashback from a few days ago. It was as if he was reliving it all over again.

//Flashback//

Harry had finally managed to fly with his wings when in his more human form. It was a glorious feeling and he couldn’t help being excited. Excited he flashed into his room to find his mate. He appeared right on Severus’s lap. His mate didn’t seem to mind as his happiness was infectious. However it seemed that his mate minded being covered in mud as it transferred from Harry to him.

Harry wrapped his legs around Severus’s waist as his mate stood up and carried him towards the shower. He definitelyliked where this was going. His mouth was assaulted as Severus’s kissed him passionately. Their tongues battled for dominance, which Severus easily won. Harry moaned deep in his throat when he felt the tiled wall against his back. He was so lost in the kiss, the sensation of his mate plundering his mouth he didn’t even notice when all of his and Severus’s clothes were removed. He did notice when bare skin met bare skin. At the first touch he threw back his head and moaned loudly before purring. This was when he noticed that the shower had now been turned on and warm water was cascading over their bodies. The water was mainly falling on Severus as he was enveloped within his mate’s strong arms and pressed up against the tiles.

Severus started kissing his way along Harry’s jaw. He smirked against Harry’s neck when he reached his destination because he could feel the vibrations from his mates purr through his lips. It made them tingle and it gave him immense pleasure to be able to illicit this type of reaction from his mate.

Harry was by no means a passive participant in this coupling and was running his hands up and down his mates back, loving the feel of the muscles moving underneath his finger tips. He scrapped his nails down Severus’s back and ended with his hands squeezing his arse.

Severus’s growled into his mate’s neck and bit his neck which only caused Harry to moan and writhe more. Not wanting to wait any longer Severus’s waved his hand and silently cast a stretching and lubricating spell, he didn’t think he had enough self control to prepare his beloved manually; he was too lost in pleasure. Moving his hands from Harry’s chest, where he had been tweaking his nipples, he gained a secure grip on Harry’s hips. Positioning himself at Harry’s eager entrance, he looked into Harry’s emerald eyes and thrust in with one smooth motion.

Both of them groaned at the action. Severus couldn’t believe how tight his mate still was. He loved being encased in Harry’s warmth, feeling him ripple and clench around him as his orgasm neared. Deciding that neither of them would last very long he pounded into his mate with vigour, hitting Harry’s prostate on every upwards stroke. He claimed Harry’s lips in a passionate kiss as he continued to thrust into him relentlessly.

Harry was loving every minute. Being filled so fully by his mate was the best feeling in the world. He knew he couldn’t last much longer and he wanted Severus to cum with him so he started clenching his muscles, squeezing his mate’s hard cock, drawing it in even deeper.

Severus growled as his mate squeezed. He lost his battle with whatever self control he had left and pounded into Harry until the both climaxed, screaming out their completion.

//End Flashback//

Harry was brought back to reality with a jolt as he felt a massive pulse of magic ripple out of his body like a wave. His eyes snapped open when several people around him started moaning.

“What in the hell was that Potter?!” shouted Draco who was sitting next to Luna and panting as if he’d just run a marathon.

“Erm...” said Harry. He really didn’t have a clue what had just happened.

“It appears as if Harry was having naughty thoughts about your Godfather rather than meditating” Luna giggled causing Harry to blush.

“Oh I so didn’t need to know that!” muttered Draco before he stood up from his cushion and made his way towards the dorms.

Looking around the room it appeared as if most of the students who were seated around the fire were affected when the wave hit them.

Luna looked dreamily at Harry for a couple of seconds before saying “The dark prince will be looking for you shortly”

Harry nodded and said his goodbyes before exiting the common room. When the portrait hole closed. He heard Fawkes singing ‘Don’t You Want Me Baby’ by the Human League which caused him to chuckle before he headed in the direction of his rooms.
