I wake still slightly dazed as the sunlight from the dusty window falls on my face.
I snuggle back against Severus' warm body and I feel his lips gently graze my neck and his arms wrap tighter around me.
"Go back to sleep Morwyn, it's still early and you need your rest"
I freeze and suddenly shoot up in the bed, moving to my feet quickly and turning to glare at Severus.
"What the bloody Hell Severus!" I shout angrily and he sits up rubbing his eyes, a confused look plastered on his face. "Why the fuck didn't you wake me up? Baylor was waiting for me! He is probably in agony! He could be dead Severus! You are such an insensitive bastard sometimes!" I shout at him before apparating away quickly.
Baylor's eyes snap open and his body is tense when I appear in the room, he relaxes when he realizes it's me and closes his eyes again.
"I'm so sorry Baylor, I was exhausted and Severus didn't think to wake me, insufferable git he can be sometimes" I explain, tears in my eyes "are you in terrible pain?"
"No, I'm ok for now Morwyn, please relax. Your filthy half-blood came in your place last night, spent about an hour here, gave me potions that he brought from his home, checked on the potions that are brewing and fixed my fingers. Told me you had fallen asleep and that you were exhausted. Fucker refused to talk to me other than that" he whispers, his voice still hoarse.
I feel a great ache in my chest with my pang of guilt for having yelled at Severus and I turn to my brother with a glare.
"Don't insult him in my presence Baylor, he could have left you last night."
"You love him..." He whispers, looking at me in shock.
"Yes, what did you think? That he was just a fuck and because I got pregnant that I'm settling?" I snap and the look on his face tells me that that was exactly what he thought.
"You are a young, beautiful, pureblooded witch, why would you sully yourself with a disgusting man like him, he isn't worthy of you Winnie" his voice a whisper still.
I move to his side and climb into the bed beside him, running my hand gently down his cheek.
"He had the patience to help me through my… damages. He has held me through my nightmares, helped me through my fears and has been able to fill a lot of my wounds Lorri, and he needs me as much as I need him."
"But he isn't-"
"I know Lorri, but I don't care, I don't think I ever have cared. Things are changing now Lorri, even the Malfoy boy is falling out of line"
"Lucius' son? What's he up to?"
"He's taken an interest in Hermione, the girl that was here with me yesterday... they're cute together."
"Ha, looks good on him I guess, never liked the arrogant sod. How is Malfoy taking it?"
"So far so good, but the pair aren't entirely serious yet, I think he will snap eventually, poor Draco" I comment sadly, knowing that he will be at the end of the famous Malfoy temper if he truly chooses her.
"You've made some odd friends Winnie" he whispers trying to sit up and wincing in pain.
"My odd friends are going out of their way to get you cleared, so perhaps you should show some respect for them. Harry talked the Minister into giving you a date to appear before the Wizengamot without arresting you and putting you in Azkaban first."
"Am I supposed to feel comforted by that?"
"They don't really have anything on you anymore, sitting trial is just common practice now for Death Eaters. They let Lucius Malfoy off the hook and he pulled more than you ever did. He got fined huge, but that was all."
"So you want me to sit in court? When Morwyn?"
"Two weeks, they originally said the ninth but I'm hoping he will do the eighth or tenth."
"Will you be there Winnie?" He asks moving enough to lay his head in my lap.
"I want to, but Severus won't allow it" I respond quietly, stroking his long black hair.
"Bugger him, I'm your brother" he growls irritably.
"He's worried about the effect the dementors would have on our baby Lorri, he's not without good reason"
"I don't like him, I never have Winnie, you should have been more careful and he should have known better at his age."
"It doesn't matter Lorri, he's here, he wants this baby and I love him."
"I bet he wanted this baby, he probably wanted you and so he got you pregnant on purpose!"
I gaze out the window quietly and I hear him scoff.
"Really Winnie, he just wants your money."
"I was disowned at that point remember? He doesn't let me do anything for him, we are currently fighting over where we are going to live, he doesn't want me to provide. I think he feels bad because he isn't in a position to put me in a big house"
"As he should, he's beneath you."
"There are enough properties that split between the two of us... it is ridiculous to think of buying another, I want him to live here with me, and our baby… and you..."
"Shall we see if Harry Potter wants to stay here too?"
"He's going to be my husband Baylor, can you be nice to him for me? Please?"
He turns, looking at my stomach with a glare before reaching out to put his hand on it.
"I don't know about this Winnie, hold off on marrying him for me? Just for awhile?"
"Nothing is set yet Lorri, so I can stall it if it comes up, to buy you some time to get to know him."
I slide off the bed letting his head drop onto the pillows and uncork some potions, handing them to him and watching him drink them down before returning the bottles to the table.
"Do you think you can get up and get to the bath?"
"I would love to, but I don't think I can get there alone, I'm too weak still"
"I'll go get Severus to help, I need to talk to him anyways, give me a bit and I'll be back"
I appear back in our room and Severus is laying face down on the bed, his pale back bare and his arms tucked under the pillow. I climb carefully into the bed running my small hands up his back until he shrugs me off.
"I'm sorry Severus, I overreacted. I'm worried about him, stressed out about the baby, I'm tired and hormonal and slightly overwhelmed by all the people here. I'm truly sorry Severus, I do love you... forgive me..." I whisper, leaning down and trailing kisses from the waistband of his pants to the back of his neck, sucking a mark into his shoulder and moving to straddle his hips. I start at his shoulders, gently massaging his tense muscles until I reach his waistband and I grab the band tugging it down gently but it is caught between him and the bed. I climb off of him and try to get him to turn over but he shrugs me off again.
"Severus, please look at me."
I sit in silence for several long moments before he turns his head to face me.
"I really am sorry Severus, I misjudged you, I was wrong."
"I know Morwyn, it's fine, you aren't the only one stressed these days. I stayed up here to take some time to relax"
I nudge him gently and he sighs before turning over.
"You don't want me Severus?" I ask sadly and he takes my hand, running it over the firm ridge of his cock through his pyjama pants to show me that I am wrong.
"Why are you stressed?" I ask as I undo his pants and pull them open.
"You are pushing yourself too hard Morwyn, doing too much and I worry about you, and about our child. I wish you would take it easy and let me take care of you like I am supposed to"
"Severus, I promise you I am being careful"
"But you aren't, you are supposed to rest when you are tired and sore, instead you push yourself until you are falling asleep at the table, you haven't been eating properly and I'm concerned about the health of both you and our child, I'm turning into a nagging old woman Morwyn, but you are worrying me, and others have expressed concern for you exhaustion"
"Would you feel better if I were to see a mediwitch and have her check on our baby Severus?"
"I would like that, as well as for you to rest when you are tired, please Morwyn"
"Baylor needs me right now Severus, I actually need your help with him if you will come when I go back"
"Mhmm"
"You don't like him?"
"The feeling is mutual between us" he drawls coldly.
"He will come around Severus, he is just concerned about me. now you please stop denying me, pregnancy hormones aren't just making me irritable"
He snorts and sits up, pushing my nightdress up my thighs. "Did you really go to him like this Morwyn?"
"I wasn't really thinking about it Severus, he's my brother Severus."
"That means nothing these days Mowyn..."
"Perhaps in some families, but I assure you Severus, I love my brother, but I have no desire to bed him, he's a whore."
Severus nods and hooks his fingers into my panties tearing them off and tossing them aside.
"Severus!"
"You can buy more my spoiled little witch, now come here" he growls, pulling me onto him and tossing his pants to the floor. I lift my hips and gently position him before impaling myself on his length with a groan. He moves his strong hands to my hips to slow me as I begin riding him with a desperate urgency.
"If you want it like that let me Morwyn, please" he whispers flipping me over and driving into me hard. He picks up the same urgent pace that I had been trying for, thrusting hard until we both find intense relief, Severus collapsing down onto me, careful to perch on his elbows to keep his weight off my belly. He lowers his head into the crevasse of my neck sucking on it and pulling off with a pop and kissing the dark spot on my flesh. He rolls onto his side pulling me into his arms and closing his eyes for a few minutes, regaining his composure.
"What do you need my help with little witch?"
"I want to get him into the bath, but he is too weak to walk there unsupported and I know he won't allow me to levitate him. He smells like rot still, he desperately needs it"
Severus sighs and nods, pulling his arms from around me and climbing out of the bed. He waves his wand and we are both dressed and ready to go.
"We had better let them know we are leaving for a bit Morwyn" he comments heading out the door. I can hear him creaking down the steps and I follow close behind.
The crowd sits at the table and there are a few people I don't recognize as well as Hermione and Ginny's odd friend Luna.
"Hello Professor Snape, Professor Blanchett."
"Miss Lovegood" Severus nods and grabs a piece of toast from the table.
"I thought you would sleep in today Morwyn?" Mrs Weasley asks concerned.
"I wish I could."
"Child drop the act, we all know, tell us, is your brother well?" Narcissa asks evenly.
I look to Severus and he nods.
"Most of his bones are broken, he's weak and has lost a lot of blood, but he has agreed to appear before the Wizengamot.”
"I would feel more comfortable with this arrangement if I knew he was being watched round the clock Miss Blanchett.”
"Seeing as term resumes in six days, that really isn't possible Minister, but I suppose I could stay with him there for the next six days?"
"You need to rest Morwyn, if he will behave nicely I will agree to have him here, there are several of us who can rotate to watch him I'm certain, and it will mean you aren't exhausting yourself trying to make him well alone"
"I'm sure if Lucius can behave, then my brother will manage. I'll talk to him when I get there, I suppose."
"Do you need any help?" Hermione asks hopefully and I nod, "yes I think I might"
"Would you mind if I came along Professor? I'm quite good at mending bones, I'm prone to breaking my own quite often" Luna asks in her airy tone.
"Sure Luna, but we need to get going now" I respond gesturing them over and grabbing hold of them, apparating us all to the house, Severus appearing a few moments behind us.
"I'm so glad I could provide entertainment for your little friends Morwyn" Baylor spits out.
"Shut it Lorri, were going to get you cleaned up and we’re moving you."
"Moving me where?"
I explain to him about Mrs. Weasley’s offer as Hermione and Severus get to work bottling up the potions and getting them ready to travel. Luna moves into the bathroom and begins running a hot bath and adding some of the healing potions and bubbles into the water for privacy.
"You should learn how to heal love bites Morwyn, or at least cover them up" he smirks at me.
"Why? Are you feeling jealous? Been awhile?" I smirk back and he laughs.
"Well played Winnie, well played."
"The bath is ready Professor Blanchett, do you need anything else done?"
"Can you help Hermione? I need Severus for a few moments" I answer with a grateful smile.
"Of course" she smiles and takes Severus place as he moves to my side.
"She's your student?" He asks amused "you teach now? Who in their right mind would let you teach?" he winks
"Both ladies are, they missed out in a lot of their final year because of the war so they are making it up this year, and yes, I teach potions at Hogwarts, started right off the war, they hired me because there was no one else"
"So they are our age then?" He asks ignoring the rest.
"Yes, why?" I ask before watching his gaze travel over Luna. "Don't even think about it Lorri" I warn him.
"If you say so Winnie..."
I pull back the covers and Severus pulls Baylor up into a sitting position supporting him and helping him swing his legs over the side of the bed. He wraps his arm under Baylor's arm and across his back guiding him up to a stand -Baylor's legs wobbly from lack of use- give out under him and Severus pulls him back up. Luna clears the room moving to Baylor's other side and slipping his arm over her shoulders.
The odd group moves slowly across the room and into the bathroom. They lower him to sit on the edge of the tub and Luna turns away politely so he can undress.
"I don't have a wand Snape, you’re going to have to help me out here, no ogling the goods either" he smirks and Severus scowls.
"I have my own 'goods' as you put it and I hardly take pleasure in perusing naked wizards"
"True, I guess you're more the young witch kinda guy, eh?"
"Baylor!" I scold from the bedroom.
"I was only winding him up Morwyn, don't have a fit."
Severus waves his wand divesting Baylor of the rest of his clothing and helping him slide into the tub.
"Can you supervise him Miss Lovegood? We wouldn't want him to drown while I go finish up those potions" Severus snarks, glaring at my brother who smirks in return.
"Of course Professor Snape" she smiles, moving to the tub and sitting on the edge carefully.
"Lovegood, as in Xenophilius Lovegood? From the Quibbler?"
"Yes, he's my father. Do you need any help?" She asks handing him a washcloth with soap on it.
"I'm ok right now Miss Lovegood,"
She nods, turning to stare off into space as she often does and my brother slowly scrubs all the areas that he can.
"Morwyn, are you busy?"
"Yes, why?" I respond while gathering my brothers clothes into a bag to take with us.
"I was going to ask you to help with my back and hair, my shoulders are aching quite horribly."
"I can do it for you… Sir."
"Call me Baylor, I insist."
"Can you sit forward, Baylor?" Luna asks sweetly, gently pushing on his back to help him lean forward and charming his long hair up and out of the way before gently scrubbing his back with the warm sudsy cloth, the smell of lemongrass and mint wafting out into the bedroom. She rinses his back carefully before letting his hair down and spelling it wet. She applies a generous amount of shampoo and begins gently scrubbing his hair and scalp, Baylor swallows a groan at the relaxing sensation and tips his head back more. She finishes, carefully rinsing and drying his now shiny, straight black waist length locks before braiding them carefully down his back and grabbing him a towel. He tries to push himself up onto the ledge of the tub, his legs giving out and causing him to almost slip back into the water before Luna reaches out to steady him and help him up onto the tub ledge and covering him quietly with the towel. He carefully pulls his legs over the tub and rests them on the floor as Luna spells him dry and helps him stand and move back into the bedroom, the towel falling and leaving him bare to the room earning a gasp from Hermione as both she and Luna look away and Baylor leans against the post of the bed proudly, clearly not embarrassed at all.
"Baylor! Seriously now, none of the girls in this room are interested and I'm sure Severus doesn't want to see it either"
"Why? am I making him jealous?"
"I'd compare notes, but I wouldn't want to make you feel bad about yourself" Severus sneers and waves his wand so my brother is dressed.
My brother arches a brow at me and I smirk in return.
"So that's why you're with him then?"
"I think we should be going now" comments Hermione who is clearly uncomfortable with the two men talking about their wands.
I grab the girls and the bag and Severus wraps his arm around Baylor to keep him steady and we pop away from the house and back to The Burrow.
We pop in a split second before Severus who loses his grip on Baylor and drops him unceremoniously onto the dining room floor in front of everyone at the table.
"Severus!"
"Oops" Severus sneers leaving him on the floor and taking his place at the table to get some lunch. Hermione and Luna try to get him off the floor with no luck and there is the scraping of a chair on the floor and Lucius is nudging Hermione out of the way before hoisting Baylor up. My brother opens his eyes to see Lucius Malfoy holding him up and jerks so hard that he pulls from Lucius grip and crashes down onto his knees again.
"Dear Merlin boy, pull yourself together" Lucius growls "we have all come home like this at one point or another, I was simply trying to spare you what little dignity you appear to have left" Lucius finishes scanning over my brothers still badly bruised face and neck.
"Severus, please get up and help him" I plead.
"I'll help him again when he learns some respect' he sneers turning back to his plate.
"Yeah mate, don't you know you're supposed to respect your elders?" Fred laughs and Severus glares at him. I look to my brother who is smirking in amusement.
Mr. Weasley and Mr. Lupin stand and move to help Lucius get Baylor off the floor.
"Can you join us for lunch Baylor or would you prefer to go right to bed?" I ask him softly, running my fingers over his bruised cheek.
He eyes the table full of food and nods toward it, the men helping him move to the table and lowering him into the chair beside Draco.
I come up behind him making him a plate of food and setting it down before him and standing over him with my arms draped gently over his shoulders. Glancing at Severus I can see his annoyance with me as I nuzzle close to my brother.
"What happened to you?" Draco asks quietly.
"Death Eaters saw me helping Morwyn, didn't like that much, caught up with me a few days ago, slightly outnumbered" he responds, breaking it down as much as possible to save his voice.
Baylor scans the faces at the table and blanches when he sees the Minister watching him. "Minister" he nods politely.
"Mr. Blanchett" he nods back.
I wrap my arms tighter around my brother, placing a kiss on the top of his head and he turns his head up and smiles at me, catching Severus glare out of the corner of his eye.
"Go sit with your old man and eat Morwyn, before he hexes me across the table"
I turn my gaze to Severus as he sneers and mutters "arrogant prick"
"Severus! Language!" Molly scolds from the end of the table.
"Seems you have a problem Miss Blanchett" Lucius comments clearly amused.
"Yes, but if they don't sort this out then I assure you I will leave them both here and go home, I haven't the patience for this right now" I respond as I look between my men and I take my seat beside Severus as he summons food onto my plate and pours me a cuppa.
"Speaking from experience, you are either going to have to live with her choice or lose her" Narcissa comments haughtily. "She is with child, she's not going to walk away from him, and you two are going to make her ill with stress if you keep this up."
"I wanted to ask you, Miss Blanchett, what are you having?" Comes Hermione's voice from the end of the table.
"I don't know, I only know that I am eight weeks today."
"Are you certain? Usually women don't start to show until around twelve weeks."
"I'm certain Mrs. Weasley, Poppy confirmed the pregnancy four weeks ago and I was only four weeks then."
"I think I'm going to be ill" comes Baylor's voice from a few seats down. I look down to see him pinching the bridge of his nose, eyes closed.
"Enough Baylor! Shut your mouth!" I growl, "you have no right, so watch it!"
"I have every right! You are my sister and you are settling" he responds annoyed.
"You who has bedded half the witches and wizards in England, and you are judging me?" I smirk
He smirks amused "touché Minnie. Jealous?"
"Oh yes, I'm jealous of my non-preferential commitment-phobic whore of a brother" I laugh, the conversation turning more humorous and light-hearted.
"I'm not commitment-phobic, I have lots of time to settle down if I wish to. All joking aside Morwyn, do what you will but I can't promise to like him"
"I hardly think that this is appropriate dinner conversation" comes Andromeda's cold voice from across the table from Baylor.
"My apologies beautiful, you are?" He smiles politely, his charm not lost even under heavy bruising and Andromeda shakes her head with a smile.
"Andromeda Tonks" she answers politely extending her hand.
"Enchanté" he smiles, bringing her hand to his lips and kissing the top of her hand politely.
"Can you please stop Baylor?" I plead, feeling mortified.
"Just being polite Winnie." he smirks
"Would you care for a glass of wine Mr. Blanchett?" Mrs. Weasley asks, clearly taking to my brothers charm as well.
"No thank you, I'm actually about to retire for the evening" he responds stiffly rising from his seat and slowly maneuvering from the table. "Could someone show me to my room? Please?"
Andromeda stands and moves to his side guiding his carefully to the stairs and helping him climb them slowly.
"I will get him situated and see what I can do about all the bruising, where is he to sleep?"
"I moved Fred and George over a room, he will be in the room they were in, the one beside Severus and Morwyn" Mrs Weasley responds pointing directly overhead and Andromeda nods moving up the stairs with him.
"I like him" George smirks and my brother winks at George in response before disappearing from view. I drop my head into my hands and shake my head. "This was a bad idea"
"I dunno, he seems like he could be fun" Fred smirks
"You two get yourselves in enough trouble on your own, my brother is a bad influence."
"Does he actually hate Severus or is he just giving you a hard time?" Harry asks curiously.
"A bit of both, there's still a good chunk of pureblood supremacy ingrained in him, but he's slowly caving, but I think it's more jealously that he has to share me with Severus now."
"Share you, huh? You naughty girl" Fred laughs.
"Dear Merlin no! He's my brother!" I respond laughing.
"Fair enough, too close in relation, maybe a cousin instead" Fred responds with a smirk.
"But of course, who am I to deny the inbreeding amongst purebloods" I laugh until my eyes land on Severus who is frozen staring at me. "Oh Severus, I'm only joking. Incest isn't my thing. The only dark locks I want to pull are yours" I wink, months of stress disappearing and my impish sense of humor returning.
The twins make gagging noises and Ron groans and excuses himself from the table.
"Must you witch?" Severus growls clearly uncomfortable.
"Oh Severus, I'm only playing. You need to loosen up a bit" I smile leaning over to kiss him and he moves away from me. I raise an eyebrow and shoot him a warning look.
He sighs and reluctantly leans forward giving me a quick peck on the lips.
"That's how you kiss your Mother old boy" Lucius smirks and I stand up annoyed and turn to leave, I make it two steps before Severus grabs my arm and spins me into him, his lips crashing down on mine with a desperate hunger, his tongue tracing my lips before forcing into my mouth and ravaging me sensually, one arm snaking around my waist and the other entwining into my hair and pulling my mouth tighter to his. As his tongue rolls against mine I slide my hands down from his back and squeeze his arse earning me a bit lip as we break apart and I burst into a fit of giggles.
"Cheeky witch" Severus smirks and I laugh harder.
"That was definitely cheeky" George laughs.
"I think that was romantic" Luna comments dreamily "more men should be openly romantic, and stop letting the nargles get them down"
"And on that note, I am retiring for the evening" Severus Drawls
"I am as well, been a long day, good night everyone"
"Bow-chicka-wow-wow" Fred taunts as he wriggles his eyebrows suggestively and I roll my eyes at them, turning and following Severus up the stairs.
I stop outside my brothers room, peering in. He lays asleep in the bed, Andromeda sitting on the bed beside him reading a leather bound book. She looks up at me and nods and I continue on to my room, changing into bedclothes and joining Severus who is already sleeping, curling into him and drifting off to sleep myself.
I wake sometime in the middle of the night to a gentle nudging. Opening my eyes, my brother stands leaning on the bed for support, his body shaking and his cheeks flushed. I lift the blankets and he climbs into the bed beside me, ignoring the sleeping Severus on my opposite side and resting his head on my chest. I lay a hand on his head to find he is burning up and I summon several potions wordlessly, uncorking them one by one and pouring them past his trembling lips and pulling the blankets up over him. I watch over him until he dozes off and the fever seems to be dropping before nuzzling my face against Severus neck and going back to sleep. My last thought being how angry Severus will be in the morning when he finds him in here.
