I wake an hour later hearing crying from the the other bedroom. I slip out of the bed inhabited by three other sleeping sweaty bodies and grab my housecoat moving quietly across the hallway through the broken door and into the old nursery where Lycoris is crying. I pluck her from the crib and take her downstairs looking for a bottle to get her some milk. I hum gently to her while I make her a bottle bringing her back up the stairs to her room. Lucius is closing the door to the bedroom when I reach the top of the stairs, he turns taking Lycoris from me and returning her to the crib and coming back to my side.
“If you ever need anything please tell me, I know it's not worth much but you are family to us”
“ any people think you're cold”
“I am Celestia, don't take my kindness to you as a factor”
He pushes open the door where Severus is coming out of with Pandora who is shrieking. I drop into the chair in the corner of the room, Severus handing her to me to feed. Lucius moves to Narcissa gently scooping up her sleeping form and taking her to the room across the hall closing the door behind him.
“You have great potential Celestia, you just need to focus”
“It's not about focus Severus, it's about fear of killing someone”
“That will not happen Celestia”
“It will I assure you” I respond getting irritated
“How can you be certain Celestia! You don't even try!” He snaps back at me
“because it has happened before” I shout before I can stop myself, immediately I realize my demons are beginning to surface and I am not ready to face this yet.
Severus stops moving and stares at me intently, I keep my eyes down on the baby not wanting to look at him or face his questions.
“What happened Celestia?” He asks quietly, pausing for a few moments awaiting my answer. When I offer none he speaks again. “ I cannot help you unless you let me in Celestia, do not close me out now”
“I don't want to talk about it”
“You think I have wished to speak?”
“I am not ready yet Severus, please leave it alone”
He stands storming from the room and I sigh, this is just going to become increasingly difficult.
I come downstairs in the morning with the girls to find Severus dressed to leave and I start to panic. He glares at me opening the floo.
“It was an accident, I couldn't stop it Severus. I hadn't meant to, it just happened”
Severus turns staring at me and waits for me to continue.
“I was dropped in a muggle orphanage, by the time I was five they all knew I was different, a freak. The other kids were scared of me, and to be honest I was scared of myself, I still am. They bullied and tortured me all the time. When I was six one of the older boys started at me. He was shoving me and kicking me around. Told me I was a freak and no one had or ever would want me. I lost my temper and shoved him back, when my hands made contact with him he---“ I pause, tears welling in my eyes, I look to Severus who continues staring impassively at me and I take a deep breath.
“ his entire body charred and he exploded into dust, screaming the whole time. I still hear him screaming in my nightmares”
“we are all capable of terrible things when we lose control, you cannot blame yourself, six and surrounded by people who did not know magic”
“I don't blame myself, I know I didn't have any control then, but I refuse to have it happen again”
“You suppressing your magic will only make things worse, harder to control. I need to leave for now Celestia, I have been summoned by the order, I will return soon. Stay inside” he warns me and steps through the floo.
I sit quietly in his chair feeding Pandora while Morgana toddles around pulling books off the bottom shelf then toddles off into the kitchen to play with pots and pans. I sit staring at the books on the floor for a few moments before raising my hand carefully. The first book flings up into the air hitting the ceiling before dropping onto the floor again. I curse at myself silently and attempt over and over again the books flinging around the room in various directions. uSuddenly I can see the look on Severus face if he was to see this pathetic display. Tears well to my eyes and I wave my hand angrily, the books pick themselves up filing neatly back into their places and my jaw drops.
The Malfoys come down the stairs dressed and ready to leave.
“Is everything ok Celestia?”
“Yes, I'll be fine”
“We are leaving, but we will see you soon darling. Don't hesitate if you need anything” and they are gone.
The floo erupts and Severus comes through staring at me oddly when he sees the tears in my eyes.
“The order wants you to come as well, where is Morgana?”
I point to the kitchen and turn my attention to the books again. Severus moves to the kitchen stopping at the door with a sigh. I stand following Severus into the kitchen quietly, he stands shaking his head at Morgana who is surrounded with pots and pans smiling up at him. I raise my hand and all the pots lift off the floor a few feet hovering gently, Severus turns staring at me impressed.
“file them in slowly, mind Morgana” he whispers. Out of the eight pots, five make it neatly into the cupboard while the other three clatter to the floor. I curse silently feeling defeated. Severus wraps his arms around my waist pulling me away from the kitchen. He scoops up Morgana and we head through the floo.
We arrive inside a house I don't recognize and are greeting by a large crowd of people all bustling about. Molly pokes her head into the room and seeing me holding the baby she races in stealing her from my arms and sitting down gently in a nearby chair.
“Oh she's beautiful Celestia” she gushes “how are you enjoying being a father Severus?”
Severus stops, turns, blinks at her several times and continues walking. I shake my head realizing some parts of him will never loosen up. He takes a seat at the table and Arthur gestures for me to come sit as well. As everyone settles into the table it grows quiet.
“you have all been called here for a reason, we have received reports that the death eaters are rising again.” Kingsley starts.
Severus who had just taken a sip of tea chokes spitting the tea all down the front of his robes, the colour draining from his face.
“Have you been summoned Severus?” He continues
“He can’t be anymore” I cut in calmly “ I removed the mark from his arm when I revived him”
Severus looks at me shocked and then down at his arm, realizing for the first time that it is gone.
“what are the limits of your magic Celestia?” Kingsley asks calmly
“honestly Minister, I have no idea, why do you ask?”
“I am curious if you would be able to raise some of our fallen comrades? The two I need will be a challenge which is why I ask”
“who?”
“Albus Dumbledore and Sirius Black”
Severus snorts glaring at nothing in particular.
“I can try, but I can't promise anything, my magic is unpredictable at best”
Kingsley nods and continues.
“We don’t know if Voldemort is behind this or if they are acting of their own accord.”
“I defeated Voldemort, it can't be possible” Harry asks, clearly as upset about this news as Severus
“there are always ways for the dark lord to return” Severus growls his voice as cold as ice.
“I want everyone staying in larger groups until we figure out what is going on, the order will be his first targets I am sure.”
“Harry and Hermione can stay here” chirps Molly, always happy to have extra people.
“No, I would actually like to move Harry to stay with Celestia and Severus, I believe it is the safest place for him to be”
Both Harry and Severus begin protesting immediately but Kingsley halts them.
“With all the events that have happened over the past sixteen years I am sure the wards around Severus’ house I am sure cannot be beat. I am only asking you at this point to open your home to him for a short while Severus, until we figure out what is happening. If the dark lord is indeed behind this he has us on the element of surprise, we cannot afford that”
“Absolutely—“
“We would be happy to help Minister, have Harry's stuff sent over and I'll make sure he is made right at home” I smile sweetly cutting Severus off and earning a fierce glare from him.
“Thank you Celestia, I have a question I must ask you”
“I have no respect nor allegiance to him I assure you”
“Very well, the Lupins and myself will come and get you tomorrow evening and we will go to Albus’ grave”
We arrive home later that evening after a huge meal prepared by Molly and Severus storms up the stairs taking the girls and slamming the door behind him.
“I never thought his house would be like this” Harry comments looking around our now beautiful home.
“It wasn't, it's been redone. I started it before--, well I started it. Narcissa Malfoy finished it for us during this last term.”
“so you talk to them?”
“You could say that” I smile inwardly “they don't seem so horrible in person, but I have heard many stories and don’t fully trust them”
“I suppose that's smart, though I almost feel bad. They will be targeted as well. But to warn them means the potential for them to scramble back” he comments quietly
“I don't think that is an option for them at all, he would kill them on sight I'm sure. I will speak to Severus and see what he thinks when he isn't in a foul mood---on second thought I'll talk to him later, he is probably going to be angry for awhile”
“I'm sorry that I've caused problems between the two of you, I didn't want to be here any more than he wanted me here”
“don’t worry about it Harry, he was mad at me before this all happened, has been for a few weeks now. It's not your fault”
“Oh, can I ask why? I'm a good listener”
“I—I have a really hard time controlling my magic, so much so that I've become afraid to use it. I do everything by hand and it's really bothering him”
“But you have done fantastic magic, you've revived people!”
“There was nothing to lose, I couldn't do any further damage to a corpse” I shiver at the thought of Severus still form, his neck ripped apart and blood everywhere.
“I see what you mean, maybe I can help you? I ran a secret defence class when Umbridge was at Hogwarts, managed to teach even Neville Longbottom some pretty advanced spells, and on the plus side I'm pretty good at defending myself” he smirks
“Perhaps, I had no idea you had done that.”
“Draco and his goons spent the whole year trying to shut us down, really a pain in the ass sometimes”
“Oh I'm aware, he spent a lot of time trying to date me, was never interested. Prolly a good thing in the end since he is my cousin”
“When did you fall for Snape? How did you know?”
“Honestly, meeting him in first year I just felt drawn to him, didn't understand it then. Guys asked me out all the time but none of them interested me at all. I think it was optioned detention in fourth year. I had burned myself pretty bad during detention, it had burned right through my robes and burnt the side of my stomach. When he was rubbing the salve off I realized I was attracted to him.”
Severus thunders halfway down the stairs holding Pandora who is screaming. He stares pointedly at me before returning upstairs.
“Come upstairs Harry, I'll show you your room, everything has been redone so it's nice”
I lead him up the stairs past my open bedroom door.
“Your bathroom is here and your room is here” I push open the cracked door.
“I thought it was all redone, what happened to the door” he asks carefully
“My magic, but I had better get to Pandora. Your stuff is in your room Harry and if you need anything I’m—“
“I'll just wait until morning, but thank you” he smiles gently and turns moving into the room and closing the door behind him. I move quickly across the hall into my room and closing the door. I take the baby undoing my blouse to feed her. I sit down carefully in the chair and look over to Severus who has stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed.
“He is worried that the Malfoys will be targeted, wonders if we should warn them”
Severus glares at me and turns over without a sound.
“Severus, I know today has been a bad day for you but you can't just ignore me, I'm your wife. I know you are mad at me for taking him in, I know you are mad at me because I can't control my magic, because I'm a coward—“
“Stop”
“I am trying my best Severus”
“Stop!” He growls
“no, I'm tired of this, tired of you making me feel like a fail—“
Severus shoots out of the bed closing in on me in a few steps, he leans in close to my ear, his breath hot against my neck.
“Put her to bed, now!” He growls dangerously in my ear.
He steps back and I glare at him not moving from my chair
“Why are you pushing me Celestia? You do not know where I sit tonight, your assumptions as usual are wrong”
“Well maybe if you would speak to me rather than shutting me out I would understand”
He takes Pandora from me and returns her to her bed coming slowly back to my side. He drops to his knees in front of me r esting his forehead on my bare chest. I can feel his body shaking and his heart pounding.
“talk to me Severus, please”
There is a long pause and I feel Severus take Several deep breaths, calming himself before he speaks.
“I am not angry about your magic, or your fear. The Potter boy will draw him here, putting you and the girls in grave danger.” He pauses for a moment as if it is painful to speak. “I could not live with myself Celestia. It has been many years since I have felt fear like this. Fear that if you stay here you are in danger but it is no better if you leave.”
“We will be fine Severus, you can't live everyday worrying that something will happen. You just need to live everyday and do what makes you happy” I say standing and pulling him towards the bed. I climb in and he climbs in behind me wrapping his arms carefully around me holding me tightly.
I wake a few hours later still sitting up against the headboard with Severus still wrapped around me, his head resting in my lap. I slip carefully out of his arms and moving to the nursery. I pull Pandora from the crib and sit down to feed her. I suddenly remember that Flitwick is still awaiting my response and I have yet to speak to Severus about it. I sit stroking Pandoras fluffy tuft of onyx hair and watch Morgana as she sleeps. Her black hair now down to her shoulders, with a slight curl. Both girls have their fathers pale skin and his eyes but my soft features, nose and lips. I feel a hand touch my shoulder and look up to see Severus looking exhausted. He takes Pandora from my arms kissing her softly on the forehead and putting her in her crib. He moves to Morgana kissing her and putting her blanket from Molly over her pyjama clad form. He pulls me up from the chair sitting down himself and pulling me onto his lap, he swings my legs over the arm and pulling me against him, my head resting on his shoulder. I trace the scars on his chest with my fingers lazily as he sits there watching the girls sleep. He kisses my forehead and I tip my head up for a kiss. His eyes look more emotional than I have seen him in a long while as he leans in to capture my lips.
“Do you want more?” He asks in a whisper
“I do love, but I'm so tired right now. I haven't been sleeping well”
“That is not what I meant, do you want more” he repeats slowly looking at our girls.
“oh!” I clue in suddenly “I hadn't really given much thought to it Severus, I figured if you wanted more then you would just go ahead with it”
Severus raises his eyebrow at me and smirks.
“Oh really? You don't think I would speak to you about it first?”
“There is no need, you know already I would do anything for you Severus”
Severus nods wrapping his arms around me kissing my forehead again.
“What if I said I wanted another right now?” He asks silkily, his eyebrows raised
“Then I would give you one at the soonest convenience Severus, I have to admit that creating a child with you is one of my favourite pastimes” I smirk kissing his deeply scarred throat
“Is that so?” He whispers huskily
“Mhmm, I love the way you take me Severus, I love the animal in you” I whisper against his neck, my hot breath stirring him to life beneath me.
“So, was there something you wanted Severus?”
He groans and runs his hand down over my bared chest and stops on my belly thinking for a moment.
“I think perhaps it is time” he whispers before picking me up and carrying me to the bed.
I laugh out loud when he drops me on the bed and he glares to silence me.
“Would you truly be embarrassed if someone heard us make love Severus?” I smirk
“I prefer my privacy Celestia”
“Oh, before I forget love. Flitwick has offered me the music portion of his teaching job at Hogwarts, since he is retiring”
“And?” He barely whispers too busy stripping off the last of our clothes.
“I think I am going to accept it, I need to reply st-“ I cut myself short with a groan as he enters we without hesitation. He immediately goes to work, picking up a rough rocking pace, his teeth finding his favourite spot on my neck, the one that turns me on the most. I groan loudly and he picks up his pace more rocking me over the edge and following right behind me both of us breaking loudly.
“That was fast” I smirk coming out of my post orgasmic stupor.
“You are not the only one that is tired Celestia, be greatful or I shall make you wait a long while before I take you again” he smirks back before closing his eyes and dozing off
