Chapter 16 – Answers and Arrivals

Arrigo poured over the books on the shelf that Salazar had suggested. The shelf had over 100 books discussing the darkest of arts, which made finding what he was looking for even more challenging. He kept searching for an answer every night before going to bed. Part of him knew that things would go much faster if he had Mia helping him, but he couldn’t distract her from her research. Maybe he could pin her down and have her teach him those research charms that seemed to make her life so much easier. Over the weeks he’d managed to get through the two top shelves of the floor to ceiling book shelf, but it wasn’t without frustration. He felt more alone in those weeks than he had felt in his little cupboard under the stairs as a child.

Overwhelmed with frustration and on the verge of tears, Arrigo left the library for his solitary bedroom at the top of the stairs. He had moved his pregnant lovers to a bedroom on the first level, so the two wouldn’t need to climb as many stairs in their state. Narcissa and the Prewett twins had a room nearby them, which made everything easier for everyone. As he approached the first stair on his long journey to his bleak existence, a loud shriek stopped him in his tracks. He turned and ran toward the noise. He only hoped that nothing happened to either one of his lovers in his absence. It didn’t take too long for him to realize that the twins were preparing to transfer Narcissa to the hospital wing because she had gone into labor.

Arrigo made sure that Lucius was awake and didn’t miss the birth of his son. He helped his overly pregnant lover up, while leaving his other lover still sleeping in their bed. He still hadn’t spoken with Severus, since that horrible event. He didn’t like to think about it even as he drove himself to the brink of insanity looking for a solution. His overtired brain was flipping through many different situations, as he helped Lucius to the room where they could already hear the screams of child birth. Nothing could have prepared for what happened as soon as they entered the room. Lucius clutched his oversized belly and let out a low moan. Arrigo’s mouth dropped open, “Crap, Madam Pomfrey it seems that two children will be entering the world on this night.”

The school nurse rushed Lucius to a bed right next to Narcissa while one of the Prewett twins rushed to the floo to call the Malfoy family doctor. The man had already taken an oath of silence regarding the family he cared for, so there was no way for anyone to know about the true origins of their daughter. Arrigo cleared his throat, “Luke, I think considering the circumstances Amaryllis should have your surname. Amaryllis Narcissa Malfoy, I believe that name is befitting the twin sister of Draco Lucius Malfoy. You two are still married, so it would be better if the two were introduced as the twin children bore by Narcissa.”

Lucius nodded in acceptance before the Nurse ran over and started clucking like a chicken, “We must magically remove the baby. It’s one of the hazards of male pregnancies. No birth cannel exists for the child to exit. I will have her out soon. Narcissa has just barely started her labor and has a while to go.” The older witch casted a charm that caused her hands to glow with a bright blue energy. Her hands moved through Lucius’ belly like a specter through a wall and came out with their little bundle. The bundle in her hands was covered in what looked like strawberry jam, but Arrigo knew it to be something completely different. She seemed to quickly cast diagnostic charms on their child to check her health before wrapping her naked form in a soft pink blanket and handing her to Arrigo, “Hold her while I finish removing the afterbirth and shrink his womb back down to normal size.”

Arrigo nodded staring down at his now clean daughter. Just looking at her caused something deep within his heart to stir, maybe it was the light little wisps of blond hair. He wasn’t sure but her little button nose was scrunched up and she gave the quietest little cry. He kissed her forehead, “I will never let anything harm you, my little Mary. You are very well loved.”

At his voice, her little eyes popped open to show a glimmer of dark blue. Arrigo was distracted from the staring contest he was having with his daughter when the nurse announced, “Lucius, it completely healed. We probably want him to take the chair and hold the baby as if he is holding the first born twin that Narcissa delivered. The less people know the better.”

Arrigo nodded and handed their daughter to Lucius who was now seated in a chair next to Narcissa’s bed. She was bright red as she started to push. Arrigo quickly decided it was best if he wasn’t found present for the birth of Draco, so after a quick peck on Lucius’ check and a whispered, “I love you,” he left the hospital room. He walked back to the tower with so much on his mind. It still wasn’t safe for him to be alone with his lovers or his children. He would never do anything to harm them, but he still had that horrible man still stuck within him. He made up his mind in that moment and didn’t care if he didn’t get a wink of sleep or if he interrupted his two best friends. He walked up the stairs to the door belonging to Mia and Wally and pounded, “Please, Mia I need your help. I can’t do this on my own and I don’t want anything to happen to Luke or Mary. Please wake up and help me find that spell that will rid me of that man’s vile connection to me once and for all.”

Mia answered the door in flannel pajamas and scowl on her face, “Is it really necessary to wake me up at this hour?”

The green eyed wizard nodded, “Lucius just gave birth to Mary and Narcissa’s still in labor with Draco. It’s just not safe for me to still have this connection. I don’t want to miss out on my daughter’s first days of life, but I don’t trust myself as long as that man can take over my body. I will not allow myself to be used as one of his tools to hurt the ones I love. Please help me. Salazar pointed me to the right book shelf but I do not know how to wield those research spells you’ve mastered.”

The bushy-haired book worm rubbed her temples, “You’re just lucky that tomorrow’s a Saturday. Come on, let’s go. I don’t need Wally waking up wondering what the hell you’re doing at our door at this time of night.”

It only took a couple of hours with Mia’s special charms before they found the correct text and the correct spell. Her brow creased as she read the information, “It takes a bloody ritual, Arrigo. We’ll have to wait for the next waning moon to perform the proper banishment. We will need an object to move the vial thing into and then we need a means to destroy it.”

Arrigo wanted to bang his head against the table, “Isn’t the moon heading toward the full moon? Doesn’t that mean we have to wait another two weeks before we can perform the ritual?”

“I would say so. This is a pretty complex ritual. Salazar was correct that it requires a spell but it also requires a purification potion taken by the subject. That will take about a month to brew. I’m sorry Arrigo, but until we can perform this ritual, you will have to stick to your not being alone with your lover or children. Have you been keeping your Occlumency shields up?”

The dark haired wizard slumped, “I understand this is something that I brought on myself, but it just doesn’t seem right. Every time I have a glimmer of hope for happiness and something else like this happens. My darling daughter decides to come a month before her daddy and I are married. She is going to have to grow up with Narcissa as her mother and Lucius as her father. I guess I will have to settle for the Godfather role until she’s of an age and we can share with her the truth. Severus hates me, and I don’t blame him. I may not have had control at the time, but I should’ve never allowed that horrible man to take me over. I should’ve sensed that something was wrong with me. I still need to find the rest of those horrible things, so that I can rid this world of that monster once and for all.”

Mia stared at him for a moment, “Do you think he’s already given the cup to Bella?”

“I don’t know. The whole Lestrange family was arrested including her. I wonder what the Ministry does with their vaults. Is there a way that Sirius could gain access to her vault even though his parents are still alive?”

A voice spoke from the doorway, “If Sirius is still the heir to the Black Family, he could access to her vault. Why didn’t you tell me that you harbored one of Voldemort’s horcruxes?”

Arrigo turned around and laid his eyes on that of his other lover, “Severus, I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you like that. I would’ve never done that to you. I didn’t see a point in telling you because I feared you’d never believe me. Who would believe that I am from another dimension where a piece of Voldemort’s barely there soul affixed itself to me when I was still but a baby?”

Something sparked in his dark eyes, “I admit that is quite farfetched; however, not impossible. It makes more sense now that I think about it. Did you truly fear I wouldn’t believe you?”

He looked down at his hands as if they were the most interesting things in the world, “I did something so horrible, Sev. I crossed a lined that I promised myself I would never cross. I could’ve hurt you and I could’ve caused the death of our unborn son. I can’t possibly forgive myself. Why would I deserve forgiveness from you?”

“Then you’re a bigger fool than I thought. How am I supposed to come to terms with what happened to me if I do not have all of the facts? Did you wish to condemn me to continued introspection trying to find the one thing that caused you to lash out at me? I hardly had a loving childhood and thus I tend to try to find the fault internally whenever something goes wrong. Though I am quite capable of stacking bricks of hatred when treated unfairly by another individual, when I’m hurt by someone I love I can’t help but feel the fault surly lies with me. Lily stopped being my friend because I called her a despicable word. My father never wanted me and felt that my conception trapped him in a loveless marriage with a freak. My mother had too much going on dealing with my father that she didn’t have the time to focus on me. I was too easy a victim for Mulciber and Avery. I’ve been trained my whole life to lie down and take it. I knew that I was lacking in many things when I first stepped foot in Lily’s home. My second hand robes and threadbare undergarments showed my difference when I looked upon the fine fabrics draping the bodies of my peers. I clung to the things I was good at because they were the only glimmers that I had the possibility of becoming something more. I craved power because I’ve been so powerless all of my life and the Dark Arts can be quite seductive. I wanted the power to never feel the lash of my father’s belt, to stand up to my attackers, and to feel worthy of the house I was sorted into.”

Arrigo looked up at the now shaking pregnant wizard, “Sev, all my life all I’ve ever wanted was to feel like I belonged somewhere. Making friends for the first time at Hogwarts when I was eleven, made me feel accepted, but so many others never saw me. They only saw who they expected to see in the boy hero. I went from being treated like nothing, never fitting in, and having my much larger cousin threatening anyone who even dared try to befriend me to being worshiped by so many strangers. I was so shy and no one seemed to understand that I didn’t want them to write about me. I didn’t want everyone to know my secrets. I didn’t want to fit into their perfect little mold. I was forced into so much at such a young age and it never stopped. My life is crap. Sure I’ve made some good friends over the years, but I still feel like that kicked around little boy who spent his childhood in a bloody broom cupboard under the stairs.”

Severus took a seat in the chair next to a silent Mia and across from Arrigo, “It’s apparent that we both have many issues. I understand a ritual needs to be performed in order to transfer that curse bit of soul from your head and into an object so that it may be destroyed. Also, you need to speak with the mutt regarding whether or not he can retrieve a cup from her vault. Perhaps you should send him in there with a basilisk fang or something to just destroy the thing and leave it there.”

A roaring chuckle burst free of the other wizard’s lips, “Or he could just cast Fiendfyre in the vault and quickly seal it. Too bad for Bella if everything ended up melted the next time she managed to visit the thing. Of course, a life sentence in Azkaban usually means she will never see the contents of her vault.”

Mia rolled her eyes, “With the pranks for which that man is known, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d choose that option from a list. I’m sure he’d enjoy whatever damage such a spell would have on his dear cousin’s vault. You know how much he dislikes Bellatrix.” She shivered for a moment as if a very unpleasant memory flitted across her mind at the mention of the witch.

Arrigo knew exactly what Mia was thinking about. That wartime trip to Malfoy Manor was still fresh on his mind, but then again no one really forgets the torture of one’s best friend. “Don’t worry, Mia. You will never have to face her. We will take care of the monster she calls master before a prison escape can be planned.” He pictured the manic gleam in his godfather’s eyes as he cast a curse that would destroy everything in his cousin’s vault before another thought struck him quickly. “Sirius detests his family and dark magic as a rule. Would he even know how to cast and properly wield a dark curse like Fiendfyre?”

“I know for a fact that Regulus and Sirius were both taught the Dark Arts, before attending Hogwarts. I’m sure that was one among many curses taught to them. I’m sure he knows it, but I’m not sure how skilled he’d be at wielding it. I doubt he’s taken the time to practice it, but to execute such a perfect prank, I’m sure he’d be willing to practice the wand movements and casting until it was perfect.”

“Yes, pulling off the perfect prank would be motivation enough for any Maurder,” Arrigo stared fondly off into space. “It was nice seeing them every day last year, you know. Getting to know my parents and godfather. Seeing Lupin alive once more, I just missed them all so much. I hope I never have to lose them again. James and Sirius got into the Auror program, didn’t they?”

Severus’ face paled, “Wait, am I to believe that you are the offspring of James and Lily Potter from another timeline? You’re the product of my former best friend and my worst enemy? Why didn’t to tell me that sooner?”

“You were my Potion’s Professor Sev. I knew how much you detested my father as much as you did my godfather. I also learned about the love you held for Lily when you gave me the memories that told me that I was the final Horcrux and that I had to die in order to guarantee Voldemort’s death. I wanted to keep my true identity from you. I wanted it to remain a secret because I knew how much such a realization would hurt you. I wanted you to love me for me. I didn’t want to experience the vitriol all over again for reminding you too much of my father. I dealt with your hatred, which only masked your care for me, for far too many years. In the end, I cared for you deeply but by that point you were already gone and I was lost. Too many reasons for my departure from that reality exist; however, having the ability to save the ones I love was my top reason. You are far different from the man I knew because you haven’t been so twisted by events and sacrifices yet. Sure, you’ve already witnessed so much in your life, but you haven’t had to walk the tightrope between two masters as a spy. You haven’t been ruled by guilt and bitter for harboring unrequited love. Hatred for losing her to your worst enemy and you were afraid to look within my eyes because they reminded you so much of Lily.”

Mia cleared her throat, “I think since we’ve now found the solution to your problem, and because it is so late that we should all probably retire. Arrigo, I believe you should still sleep away from Severus. I’m sure it’s for the best. I’m sure the two of you will want to visit the happy family in the hospital tomorrow. I cannot wait to meet your daughter and see what Draco looked like as a baby. I’m sure someday I will want a child of my own, but I still have so much work I wish to accomplish before I’d ever consider it. I’m still a bit surprised that you jumped into something so quickly, but I know how much you’ve always wanted a family.”

Severus stood, “I must admit that I fear I am not ready for parenthood either. I am sure with time I will learn to love this little guy, but I may need some time to myself after he’s born. I still have dreams to achieve and completing one’s potion’s mastery is quite challenging. I might even want to combine that with a healer’s certification. I want to help people and I know one thing for certain. I have no interest in pursuing teaching. Those who can’t do, teach. I most certainly can do much more than the dunderheads that grace my classroom. Do you think that Scorpius would be up to taking over the class next term?”

“Do you plan to abandon your family?” Arrigo’s voice went up an octave on the last word.

“You must understand. I have never truly had a family. I’m used to taking care of myself because no one else was ever there to care for me. I don’t know how to be a loving or caring parent. I fear what damage I will inflict on our son. I know that he would be in yours, Lucius’, and Narcissa’s capable hands. You all were meant to be care givers. I’m just too broken and unsure of myself. I need time to gather some self-confidence by doing well in things in which I excel. I must accomplish something before I will be ready to settle down. However, you better not plan on me staying home mister. I plan on having a job.”

“I think Mia’s right. We should all be getting to bed. I do not plan on keeping you at home. I want you to follow your heart. I’m not really that sure what I want to do. I might just prefer to stay home with the kids while you and Lucius work outside of the home. I’m sure that cooking and housework is so much easier with magic. I know that I’ve done plenty of it without the assistance of magic since I was a young child, but alas it is not the time for reminiscing about my deplorable childhood. It’s time that we all retire to bed.”

The next morning found a large group of well-wishers convening on the newly born twins. Mia and Cora were soon gushing over the cute little babies. Scorpius seemed torn between staring at himself or the little angel that his other self would grow up with as a twin. Arrigo and Severus approached Lucius together, where Mary never seemed to leave his arms. “How did everything go last night, love?”

Lucius looked up at him and Severus, “I missed you two. I enjoyed being close to both of my children, but I felt so alone without you.”

“How about you get to know your stepdaughter, while I discuss a few things with Narcissa?” Arrigo suggested before he walked over two the other happy triad. “Now that the babies are here, shouldn’t we discuss the dissolving of Lucius and yours marriage contract? We do have some work to do if we want it clear to marry our true loves on the Celtic New Year.”

One of the twins looked up at him, “We agree wholeheartedly. However, we will need to make sure there is plenty of room for guests. We do come from a rather large family after all. I’m also sure that at least Regulus and Sirius will want to be present from Narcissa’s side.”

Arrigo nodded, “That is understandable. I will have Lucius contact the Malfoy solicitor later this evening. Narcissa may wish to get together with Cora and Mia to speak with a wedding planner. I don’t believe that I would be any good with planning a wedding, but I will have to ask my lovers to see if it is something that interests either of them. I have a feeling that Severus cares more about his potions then the flowers used at the wedding, but I have been known to be wrong on a few occasions.”

The other twin raised an eyebrow, “What about the press. We know that certain new reporters might want to run with sensationalism as to why the happy couple has decided to split up. You know how much the public seems to pay attention to the society pages of the Daily Profit. Also imagine the stir we will make with our double triad wedding. I’m not saying triads have never occurred before because that would be a lie; however, a triad bonding hasn’t occurred in the past few generations. Many people have grown to frown upon such a union.”

“That’s true brother, but we have something else to worry about. Arrigo will need to have that ritual performed before the bonding ceremony. We should probably offer our assistance with it. We haven’t assisted with anything like it before, but we have seen what needs to be done,” the first twin continued.

Arrigo tried to hide his shock but didn’t quite manage it, “You two weren’t joking when you admitted to being seers. I don’t know why I didn’t believe you. Perhaps you two could help Mia and Sev prepare. Do you know if it will hurt?”

The second twin smirked, “Well you managed to scream a bit. I would imagine you were in quite a bit of pain.”

“Gee thanks,” Arrigo frowned.

A/N: I know this isn’t my best chapter, but I’m running into a bit of writers block. I think I will write a few more chapters before I post this one. Maybe then the juices will start flowing again. Okay so I wrote this back in November and just forgot to update because I had other ideas brewing and people seemed to grow board with this story. I think I’ll be rapping it up soon because it just feels like it’s coming to an end. Plus I have this great story that I’ve started writing that is full of yummy goodness. It’s my first crack at a creature all male harem fiction. Also, I’m thinking about adding more detail to one of my FF stories and posting it here as well.
