One more chapter - done. Thought I'd bring a little of Snape's good old sarcasm back as well as some mistery. Also, Verum Revelares charm is strictly mine. Has Latin origin and literaly means "reveal the truth." Hope you enjoy it. I've missed your reviews so much. Please let me know what you think.
- “I’m waiting” Lucius said coldly. Draco rubbed his neck, coughing. – “We only wanted to find a way that would help us be together and be accepted” – “Accepted by who?” – “By everyone. By you. I didn’t do it to get back at you, I thought it’s the only way out of the situation” – “Way out? You thought that having a child with someone I love is your only way out?” – “Dad, I…” - “No” Harry yelled “If it wouldn’t be for your pure blood bullshit, we wouldn’t have to think about something like that. I love your son, ok? And it was I who suggested it, so if you want to blame someone, blame me. I knew that he cares about what you think and I thought that it might be the only solution. My blood might not be as pure as you’d like, my mother was a half - blood, but my father was a pure blood wizard, so considering one third of wizarding population wiped out by a raving lunatic, that doesn’t make me a bad option for your son.”
Lucius lowered himself into a chair and rubbed his temples. What Potter was saying was somewhat right, whether he liked it or not. Harry saw that his anger subsided and continued in calmer manner – “You said that to continue your blood line, Draco needed to have an heir, and if two of us could do it without the help of anyone else, we would.” – “I couldn’t see myself marrying anyone except him, so we just needed to find a surrogate” Draco said. Lucius looked at Ginny and shook his head – “Why her?” - “Considering my past as a Death Eater and the crimes that our family was involved in, no one in their right mind would want to have a child with me, even with the Chosen One as the other father. Ginny offered to help us and it was done with a help of a potion and a strong spell from the Headmaster” – “Of course it wouldn’t go without him” – He was the only one that could help us.”
Ginny walked to Lucius and lowered herself to the floor by his chair, taking his hand into both of hers – “I swear I didn’t do it to hurt you.” He looked at her with so much sadness and pain, it made her eyes swell with tears again “All I wanted is a chance to move on from that emptiness that I felt ever since I lost Fred.” She bowed her head, pressing her forehead to his fingers “It looked like everyone was able to move on, even my mum. I felt so numb, I wanted to have someone that would make me feel again and that’s why I agreed to help Draco and Harry. I did it before I realized I had feelings for you and now… I’m so sorry for hurting you.
It was all too much for him. The feeling that it was him who pushed them to do something like this was overbearing. All he wanted is to start over with the woman he loved, who now was carrying his son’s child and all because he was trying to trap his son into something that his own father trapped him all those years ago. Fates have decided that he didn’t pay enough for his crimes and were punishing him now. All he needed to do is to get away from it all as soon as possible, stop messing with their lives and let them live and make their own choices. He pulled his hand from hers, gently tracing her cheek with his fingers and got up. He walked to Draco and Harry that were still sitting on the floor and offered each one his hand, helping them up. – “You wanted my blessing… you have it.” With a flick of his wand, he summoned his robes taking one last look at Ginny – “No Lucius.” She made a few steps throwing her hands towards him “Please don’t go. Don’t leave me.” It looked like her tears were never going to stop “I beg you, please stay.” He shook his head, extending his hand forward to keep her at a distance – “I’m sorry. I hope you all get what you wanted” and with a swish of his robes, he was gone.
Both wizards jumped to Ginny just in time to catch her when everything went dark before her eyes and she lost her conscience, her body going limp in their hands. – “Get some pillows and a blanket. Let’s put her down. She needs to get some rest.” Harry lifted her and placed carefully on the couch that Draco transformed into a bed, covering her with a soft blanket and tucking it around to make her comfortable. Draco looked at his boyfriend and gently traced the bruise on his neck – “I’m sorry, love. It shouldn’t have gone like this. Did he hurt you a lot?” – “Just a little. Don’t worry about it. He was just upset. Who knew that they would fall for each other? I don’t know what I’d do if I was in his place” – “So what do we do now?” – “We need Hermione, she is the only one that will be able to talk to Ginny when she wakes up. We also need to find your dad. Who knows what he’ll do, now that he has his wand. Why didn’t you tell me?” – “I learned about it this morning. He made an agreement of some sort with the minister and our family has been cleared of all charges. I got my wand back too” – “That’s good, love. I’m really happy for you, but now that he has his full powers, who knows what he might do. I don’t want him to make any more mistakes that can put you and himself in jeopardy.”
- “You’re right. I need to find him and try to talk some sense into him” – “I don’t think that you should be the one talking to him. You saw how powerful he is now. The only one who is as powerful as he, if not more, is Snape. If anyone can reason with Lucius, it’s him.” – “I suppose you’re right” – “Stay here with Ginny and I’ll fetch Hermione and Severus” – “How do you know where they are?” – “I think after our little performance tonight and their early disappearance, they’re probably in his chambers sleeping, after shagging like rabbits for a good half of the night” – “Then he probably won’t be happy to see you at this hour” – “I don’t care. With your father gone, we might not have a lot of time” – “Ok then. Just be careful.” Harry placed a gentle kiss on blonde’s lips, grabbed a handful of floo powder and stepped into a fireplace – “Professor’s Snape’s chambers, Hogwarts castle.”
Severus opened his eyes, feeling her hand wrapped around his fully erect cock. It has only been a few hours since they made love and drifted off to sleep. – “What do you think you’re doing?” – “Oh, you’re up” she gave him a mischievous smile – “Of course I am. Didn’t I tell you to get some rest?” – “I did, but then I woke up from something hard poking my arse and decided to check what it was.” – “So instead of moving away a little, you thought it would be a good idea to play with it?” he curled his lips into a smile – “But of course, professor. You know how naturally curious I am” – “Well, not all things are meant to be played with, Miss Granger” – “Oh yeah?” She leaned over, taking him in her mouth as deep as she could, making him hiss loudly. – “Gods woman. What are you doing?” he breathed out. She replaced her mouth with her hand and raised her head giving him an evil smile – “Now that I can, I’ll do whatever I want with you.” She licked his length, taking him back into her mouth, sucking and stroking him until she felt his body stiffen a bit. – “Hermione” he gasped trying to roll her on her back – “No. I want to be on top of you.”
She straddled his hips, lowering herself on him. He took a deep breath and looked at the beautiful witch. Her lack of experience was replaced with passion and eagerness to give him as much pleasure as possible. He brought his hands to her breasts cupping them and brushing his thumbs over hardened pink buds. She closed her eyes and mewled in pleasure, her hands holding tightly onto his sides as she rode him till her leg muscles started to ache and she wrinkled her nose in frustration. He saw her struggle and smiled, putting his hands under her bum, lifting and lowering her back on, placing the pressure from her legs onto his arms. A relief from the pressure brought back an intense feeling of pleasure, as his hard cock kept entering her until her walls clammed around it, making her scream out her lover’s name.
His orgasm was not far behind and he followed her shortly, spilling his seed deeply into her body. Exhausted, she collapsed on top of him while he was still inside. He wasn’t in a hurry to pull himself out of her, she felt incredible and he locked her into a tight embrace kissing her neck, while her head rested on his shoulder. – “I love you, Severus” – “I love you too, kitten.” She gathered all the strength she could find and rolled to his side, laying her head on his chest, her fingers playing with soft dark hair sprinkled on top of it. They laid in silence for a few minutes, until her hand went lower to stroke his abdomen and she lifted her head slightly and looked at him through a dim light of the room. His eyes were closed and he seemed to drift off to sleep again and she hesitated a bit, thinking if this is really the time to ask any questions.
- “What?” – “I didn’t say anything” – “I know, but I can feel you looking at me. What do you want to ask?” – “I was just wondering why you feel you have to wear them in front of me?” – “Wear what? There’s not a single piece of clothing on me” – “I didn’t mean clothing, I meant your glamours.” He opened his eyes and looked at her sadly – “You don’t have to look at that… ugliness” Hermione shook her head – “I know your scars. I was the one making sure they heal properly, remember?” – “Well, let’s just say I had quite a few added to the ones that you saw back then” he said turning his head away from her gaze. – “Severus, you don’t have to hide anything from me. I love you the way you are” – “Hermione, I don’t want you to be disgusted by that filth” – “How can you say something like that? How shallow do you think I am? Lift your glamours, I want to see you as you are” – “Hermione” – “No. I will not hear any more of that nonsense. Please, Severus.”
He took a deep breath and murmured a quick “Verum Revelares”, lifting the glamour charms in hope that she will not be able to see some of his scars clearly in the dim light. – “Lumos” Hermione whispered, making the lights brighten up the place. Severus looked at her, taking another deep breath, preparing himself mentally to see her draw back in revulsion of his scarred form. She sat and stroked his cheek, giving him a reassuring smile – “Oh, Gods” she whispered as she watched his scars reveal themselves. Her eyes filled with tears as she traced each one of them with her fingers. She remembered the times when he returned from the summons of the Dark Lord with broken ribs and other fractures that had to be mended right away to ensure his bones grow back properly. Almost every one of his encounters with his psychopath master left another mark on his body. Voldemort believed that pain was the greatest stimulant of all.
He was scarred from his neck down. Thin line went across his neck, where the slash of Voldemort’s wand was. Multiple white circles laid all around it. There was a large round scar in the middle of his chest that had long thin lines going out of it, covering all the way down to his abdomen like a spider web. Old ones, on his ribs, abdomen and hands were almost invisible now. In their place were new ones. Legs had several thick scars too. He brought his hand to her face, wiping off her tears with his fingers – “Don’t cry about them, kitten. They’re not worth your tears. Let me cover them up again, so you wouldn’t have to look” – “No. You don’t have to hide them from me. I love you as you are. Scars and all”
She traced thin line on his neck. – “Tell me about them” – “You know where this one is from” She nodded her head and kissed it, putting her finger on one of the round ones – “Nagini?” – “Yes” She placed a few kisses on them too, bringing her lips down to his chest until she reached big round one in the middle of it – “What about this one?” – “Dark Lord ordered to kill all of you while you were in the Forest of Dean. I got there first and guided Potter to the frozen lake with my patronus, so he could find the sword of Gryffindor, then placed a protective spell over him so he could safely return back. I killed several Death Eaters that were sent to hunt you and returned to the Dark Lord, advising that it was the magic of the sword that got you out of there unharmed. His rage got the best of him and I was placed under Crucio until his mood got better” – “It was you all along? You were protecting us while we were there” – “Yes” – “I felt your presence, but I knew that you were not there. It was so strange” – “You felt me?” – “Yes. Not only in the forest. I’ve heard you the other day, in the rain.” – “That can’t be. Hermione, what are you saying?” He propped himself up on his elbows, taking one of her hands into his.
- “I opened my window and I heard your voice. It was brought to me by the wind. You said my name and that you were sorry and asked to forgive you. At first, I couldn’t believe it, but then I saw your patronus” – “I’ve heard you too. You said “Severus, where are you?” and then I saw your little otter running at me.” He watched her smile and brought both of her hands to his lips – “I guess Dumbledore was right all along then” – “About what?” – “About you being my other half” – “He said that?” – “Yes, back in your first year” – “Took you long enough to understand” she said sticking her tongue out. – “One more cheek from you, woman and I’ll have you put that tongue to a good use. He chuckled watching her eyes sparkle with excitement – “Promises, promises.” Before he could answer, they heard a soft pop in his study room. – “Visitors? At this hour?” – “Fuck, I forgot to ward up the fireplace. Stay here, I’ll go look who it is.” He quickly put his boxers on, got his wand and stepped out of the room.
- “Potter? What are you doing here?” – “Draco and I need your help, sir” – “My help? At three in the morning?” – “Yes. We need Hermione too” – “It better be damn important, or so I swear…” – “I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t.” Severus rubbed his eyes – “It’s about Lucius, isn’t it?” – “Yes it is” – “Harry, what’s going on?” Hermione stepped out of the bedroom wrapped in blanket – “It’s Lucius. We told him about everything” – “You did?” – “Yes. We wouldn’t have yet, but Ginny wanted to. She loves him, you know?” – “Yes, I actually do. She told me. She also said that he has feelings for her too” – “Well, it seems he does, so as you can guess, he wasn’t very happy when he learned about the whole thing. Ginny cried a lot so we put her to rest” – “Cried? Oh my God, what did he do, Harry?” – “Nothing to her. It was us he was upset with. Anyway, now he’s gone and we’re afraid that he might do something stupid, especially now when his power is all back” – “What do you mean back? He has to have his wand to have all his power restored” – “He got it this morning. They both did. Draco said that it was part of the deal Lucius received from the minister” – “Ok Potter we’ll be there soon” – “Thanks professor. I really appreciate it.” He stepped into a fireplace and disappeared.
Hermione and Severus walked into the study room and were greeted by Draco – “Thanks for coming, guys” – “Of course. How is she?” Hermione asked looking at the sleeping form of her friend. – “She’s ok. She’s been sleeping this whole time. Comes out they have feelings for each other, did you know?” – “Yes I did. She told me. Sorry for not telling you earlier. I had no idea it would get to that” – “I told you it would, didn’t I?” Severus asked shaking his head. “My reaction when I thought you were pregnant with their offspring wasn’t any better” – “No, I think his was worse.” Draco said rubbing his neck. – “Anyway, we have to find him and try to talk some sense into him” Harry said running his fingers through his hair. “We’ll need your help with that. I don’t think that my power or Draco’ will be enough to hold him if things will start getting out of hand” – “I suppose you’re right.”
Hermione looked at Severus in surprise – “How will you ever be able to find him? He might be anywhere” – “My mark will lead me to him. It is one of its qualities that will never go away. I’ll be able to find him or Draco, or anyone else who wears it.” She looked at the blonde wizard – “That means that you’ll be able to find him too, right?” – “No, he won’t.” Severus said quietly “It was never fully enforced on him” – “What do you mean, love?” – “For the mark to work in full force, he was supposed to kill someone. Because he never did, he was only able to feel it burn when we were summoned. Lucius and I had it for over twenty years. If anyone can find him, it’s me.” Hermione pulled him into a tight embrace – “I’m sorry” – “Don’t be. What I did in the past is not your fault.” He turned his head to Draco – “What about this agreement with the Minister? Do you know anything about it?” – “Not really. He only told me that all charges against our family were dropped with full return of everything that belonged to us” – “In return for what exactly? Somehow the Minister doesn’t strike me as the forgiving kind” – “I don’t know anything about their agreement. Father said that it wasn’t something that he couldn’t provide.” – “Knowing your father’s connections that might be just about anything” – “I’m sorry for not being able to tell you more. When I saw him yesterday before the celebration, he was writing a letter or something. I didn’t quite catch what it was” – “Then we should go to his room and look around. Maybe we’ll be able to find something that can help”
Harry turned to Hermione – “Will you stay with Ginny, in case she wakes up? – “Sure” – “Thanks, we won’t be long.” All three went upstairs. They walked in to find a big eagle owl sitting on one of the armrests of the chair by the window. – “Where did you come from?” Draco asked with surprise. – “It’s one of the owls from the Ministry. It looks like it lives here now” Harry said propping his hand out to pet the bird. Owl snapped its beak, almost taking his finger and gave him a resentful hoot. – “Stop sticking your hands where you’re not supposed to and try to be helpful for once, Potter.” Snape said irritably. – “I only wanted to pet it” – “Don’t you see that it’s holding something in one of its legs?” – “Oh, I didn’t see that” – “Your attention to details is as bad as it was when you were in my class” – “I’m sorry I don’t have your amazing spy skills. I wasn’t the one serving two masters at the same time” – “Thank Gods for that. You wouldn’t last one day”
Harry was about to retort when he caught his boyfriend’s gaze and willed himself to hold his tongue. Draco walked to the owl extending his hand to the bird – “May I?” Owl flew and sat on it, placing the scroll into his palm. “Thank you” he said sitting the bird back on the chair. He broke the seal and read it, tears starting to form in the corners of his eyes – “What is it, love?” Harry asked attentively. – “It’s his will” – “What? Why?” – “I don’t know.” Severus walked to one of the night stands and picked up another scroll – “This one is from the ministry” he quickly read it, before giving it to Harry. Younger wizard looked through the text before returning the letter back to him – “It can’t be.” Draco looked at him in surprise – “What is it?” – “The letter says that the Ministry needs his help with capturing Grayback, but I saw them taking him. He’s been in Azkaban since the fall of the Dark Lord. That just doesn’t make any sense” – “It does if the minister wants him dead” Snape said plainly. – “Why would he want my father dead?”- “I don’t know Draco. That has yet to be discovered. There’s also a letter on the night stand that says that he has to be at the Ministry tomorrow at twelve. I guess we should pay a little visit to Shacklebolt and find out what he really wants from Lucius”
- “I’ll go there myself and I’ll make him talk” Draco hissed, his eyes turning icy blue. – “I don’t think it would be wise, love. If this is true, you might be walking into a trap.” Before he could protest, Snape put his hand on Draco’s shoulder – “He’s right. It might be dangerous for you.” He raised an eyebrow and looked at Harry – “Do you still have your invisibility cloak, Potter?” – “Of course I do, I’ve had it since… wait, how do you know about it?” – “Don’t question my intelligence. I know about all your little gadgets that helped you spy on me and steal the ingredients from my storage to make that pitiful excuse of a polyjuice potion in your second year” – “Oh yeah, about that… I’m sorry” Snape opened his mouth to say something, but then thought better of it and shook his head – “Anyway, you shouldn’t confront the Minister just like that. You’ll need your cloak to sneak into his office and find out what’s going on.”
- “You’re right. I still can’t believe that he might be involved in something like that. He was always on our side.” – “Don’t be so naive, Potter. Most people choose their side closer to the end of the battle” Harry’s face flushed red – “What are you saying? He never gave us any reason to doubt him, unlike someone I know” – “Doubt is good thing sometimes. Makes you think more about the person you’re dealing with. Makes your brain work. Unfortunately, something you know nothing about” – “Stop that already” Draco growled. “Can we just focus on the problem in front of us? My father is missing, my life might be in danger and the only thing you two are doing is fighting each other.” Severus rolled his eyes – “I was merely trying to make a point” – “Well don’t. I thought you two worked out all the shit that you’ve had and put it behind you.” He looked at both wizards expectedly “Well?” Harry shrugged his shoulders – “We have. I’m sorry, love. I don’t know what came over me.” He extended his hand to Severus – “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean what I said” Snape cocked up an eyebrow – “You should be…” – “Unckle” Draco shouted, narrowing his eyes – “Fine.” He took Harry’s hand and shook it “I wasn’t trying to be an arse. I was just pointing out that you never truly know the person you deal with until a difficult situation arises. Only then you find out which side the person is really on” Harry nodded – “I know that now.” He looked at Draco, giving him a reassuring smile – “If he’s hiding something, I’ll find it out. I swear to you”
They walked downstairs to see both girls tightly embracing each other. – “Ginny, you’re up.” Draco gave her a warm smile. He walked to the couch and hugged her, Harry following behind him. – “I’m sorry you guys. I didn’t mean for any of it to happen” – “It’s not your fault. We can’t help who we fall in love with.” Harry said placing a soft kiss on one of her hands – “Plus, now you know how it is to be in love with a Malfoy.” Draco shoved his shoulder playfully – “It’s not that bad” – “It leads into all sorts of trouble.” Ginny looked down at her knees – “What happens now?” – “I’ll try to find him as quick as I can” Severus said walking closer to her – “Professor? Sorry I didn’t see you there. How will you be able to find him?” – “Leave that to me miss Wesley” – “Even if you do, I don’t think he’ll want to see me again, not after what happened. He probably hates me now.” – “Don’t say that, Love.” Draco brushed a tear from the corner of her eye “Trust me, he loves you. He almost snapped both of our necks trying to prove it. I haven’t seen him showing that much feeling since… Come to think of it, never. I have never seen him do anything of this sort.”
- “All of you should get some rest. We have a difficult day ahead of us” Snape said walking to Hermione and placing a gentle kiss on top of her head – “Severus, please be careful” – “I will, love, try to and get some sleep. I’ll be back soon” – “His powers are strong” – “Not stronger than mine. Don’t worry kitten, everything will be fine. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve that Lucius can only dream of.” He gave her a reassuring smile. – “Just come back to me in one piece” – “I will. I love you” – “I love you too” – “Uncle Sev, thanks for doing this.” He gave Draco a quick nod and disappeared with a swish of his robes.
