It was Friday when it happened. Harry was sitting in Charms when the door to the classroom opened and Severus peeked in. “Come, Harrison, and quickly! Rigel is coming!”
Harry’s eyes widened and he shoved his notes into his bag.
“You can copy my notes when you get back, Harry.” Hermione said.
Harry nodded and grabbed his things, making a hurried exit.
He and Severus raced toward Severus’ rooms to use the Floo. When they got there, Severus held out the pot of Floo powder to Harry. “Go to Black Manor. Sirius wanted to use the same birthing room he was born in. Remus will be in the receiving room and I will be there directly. The healer is with Sirius, and so are Narcissa and George. You’d be allowed if you’d already given birth. As it is, both you and Tom will have to stay outside the room. I will see you there, and Tom will meet us when he is able to get away from work.”
Harry nodded and grabbed some powder. “Black Manor!” He shouted, and vanished in the flames.
Harry appeared in Black Manor and found Draco, Fred and George already there.
“Good, you’re here! As soon as Severus gets here, we can go!” Remus said.
Severus came through and nodded to Remus. “Lead the way, love.” He said.
Remus nodded and led them through the house. They went up the stairs and down a long hallway, almost all the way to the end.
“This is the birthing room.” Remus said. “Only those who have had babies can go in. Narcissa is in there already, George can go in now.”
George nodded and went in quickly, the sounds of laboured breathing emerging from the room as the door swung shut behind him.
Tom showed up not two minutes later. “What did I miss?” He asked.
Fred frowned. “Not much. George and Narcissa are already in there, and you’d be allowed in if you two had a baby already, but only those that have given birth are allowed into the birthing room.” He said to Tom.
“Yeah, about that...” Harry said, shifting awkwardly.
Severus looked at him sternly. “You did not!” He snapped.
Harry’s eyes widened. “No! Not yet!” He said.
“Good.” Severus said, mollified.
“I’m going to have to tuck this information behind the lip-locker on you before you leave, and I’ll have to tell George after Rigel comes, but you are pretty much cousins to me, so I might as well let you know: Tom won’t be the one doing any of the birthing. That’ll all be me.” Harry explained.
Draco’s eyes widened until Harry worried they were going to fall right out of his head. “A submissive Dracken?! You really defy all the odds, don’t you?!” He asked in shock.
Harry grinned and rubbed the back of his neck. “First one since Merlin.” He mumbled.
“No bloody way!” Fred added.
“It is true.” Severus said quietly. “And the information is sensitive; he is right to guard it so zealously.”
“I’ll say!” Draco agreed. “Thanks for letting us know, though. We won’t tell.” He swore.
Harry sighed. “I wish we knew what was happening in there...” He murmured.

Inside the room...
“Alright, it’s time now! With your next contraction, I’m going to need to cut you open to remove the baby. George, dear, mop his brow for me, would you? He’s looking warm again.” The healer said.
George ran the cool washcloth over his forehead again, smiling down at him. “It’ll all be worth it.” He assured Sirius. “As soon as you have your heir, there will be nothing but love for the little one.”
Sirius smiled. “I know.”
Narcissa, whose hands were on his stomach, nodded to the healer.
“Alright, and here we go!” She drew out her wand and carefully made an incision over his abdomen, exposing glistening yellow fat. “Narcissa, grab a towel.” She said, and switched her full attention to her work.
George watched in fascination, never more glad for his creature inheritance than he was right then. Having a baby as a male looked dangerous, and he had to turn his attention to Sirius’ face rather quickly.
After about three minutes, a wail split the air, and George smiled. “Shall I go tell them?”
Narcissa laughed. “Yes, go announce a healthy baby boy!” She declared as the healer carefully removed the afterbirth and began to close the wound again. Narcissa began cleaning up the newborn, picking the vernix caseosa out of his shock of black hair and swaddling him in blankets and handing him off to his father.
George left and closed the door behind him. “A healthy baby boy!” He announced. “Severus, Remus, you can both go in now.”
The two men rushed into the room and a few minutes later, Narcissa came out. She laughed. “You should have seen the scowl on his face when he came out! He looks like the spitting image of Severus!”
There were chuckles all around at that.
“I imagine you will all be able to see him in about half an hour. Let’s retire to the sitting room across the hall for tea while the new fathers admire their precious bundle, shall we?”
The whole group went with her, Tom and Harry feeling a little downhearted at being left out, but just as they were leaving, the door opened again. “Harrison, My Lord, come meet the baby!” Severus ordered, and the two smiled and headed into the room as the healer left.
Severus walked over to stand by the head of Sirius’ bed and looked down at the baby as Sirius fed him. “Rigel Sirius Black.” Sirius said with a wide smile. “Heir Black.”
“It’s a good name.” Harry said. “I will look after you forever, Rigel.” He said formally.
Severus laid a proud hand on his shoulder. “You will have to set a good example for him. Don’t sass me once he is old enough to notice.”
Tom snorted. “You can’t ask that of him!” He said with a laugh.
“I can and will!” Severus said.
Harry shook his head. “No, Dad, you seriously can’t. It says in the journals that if a Dracken has to constrain their behaviour due to parents, eventually they will blow up and kill the parent. You really do have to be careful with giving me orders now.” He added.
Severus sighed. “You’re right; I had forgotten. If you need to have discussions with me once he is over the age of two, you will need to tell me and we will discuss the matter in private.” He said.
Harry nodded. “That will work.”
“Alright, Severus, take your son and let’s get me to the Master bedroom.”
Severus smiled. “You should be able to Floo by late tomorrow.”
Sirius snorted. “And thank the Gods for wizarding postpartum recovery! I hear Muggles are bed-ridden for days!”
Remus held out a small black bag. “Well, they don’t have all these handy potions, now do they?” He asked.
Tom pulled his wand out. “I’ll levitate him to the room. Lead the way.” He said.

“Harry, you should probably explain our dynamic to George and complete the lip-locker before we leave for Prince Manor.”
“Good point. They’re still in the sitting room, right?”
Sure enough, once they found the sitting room after a few missteps, George, Fred, Draco and Narcissa were sitting in armchairs, chatting and sipping tea.
“Excuse me, Narcissa, would you mind terribly if we stole your company for a few minutes?” Tom asked politely.
“Not at all, My Lord.”
Fred and Draco immediately stood up and joined Harry and Tom at the doorway, already knowing what this was about. George was clearly confused, but followed his mates anyway.
The group retreated to a nearby hallway and Tom erected a silencing charm, just in case.
“What’s this about?” George questioned.
“Right, well, remember the lip-locker I used on you three? I’ve got some more sensitive information to hide under it. I already told Fred and Draco while you were in the birthing room, George. I’m not a dominant Dracken like I’ve been letting everyone think, I’m a submissive.”
George seemed to take this in stride, reacting much better than both of his mates. “In all honesty, I’m not all that surprised. It makes more sense to me.”
Harry accepted that, relieved that none of them had freaked out at the news. Tom shot Harry a fond smile, which Harry returned, and then the group fell silent as Harry modified all three lip-lockers. Harry let out a deep exhale when he was done, privately thanking his lessons with his father for allowing him to improve his skill with Occlumency. Doing three modifications in a row would have ordinarily drained him of energy, but now he was only feeling a slight fatigue.
“And with that, we shall be off to find our own room here for the night.” Tom said, dismantling the silencing charm and gesturing for Harry to join him. They left for the receiving room, leaving the twins and Draco to rejoin Narcissa.
*****
Severus, Sirius, Remus, Harry and Tom all gathered in the family tree room, Sirius holding Rigel.
Severus raised his wand and spoke the same stream of Latin he had used before, building the magic up until the air was singing with it.
“The family gathers today to welcome a new member into the fold. True-born, of Severus Tobias Prince and Sirius Orion Black, conceived in lust and born in wedlock, Rigel Sirius Black, Heir to the Black line and lands. May he live a long and fruitful life and bring great honour to both families’ names.” Severus finished, and flicked his wand to the spot beside Harry’s, and the new bare branch was filled with a name.
Harry looked closer and noticed Tom’s name listed under his as his spouse, and pointed it out to him happily.
Tom flushed a bit, but nodded his acceptance.
“You two may speak now.” Severus said in amusement.
“Ah. I am perfectly okay being linked to you in that way.” Tom said to Harry, then threaded a hand into his hair, tugging him closer for a kiss. “You are worth any discomfort from being attached to a person, Harrison. I will never turn you away, and you and your family will clearly only make me stronger.”
Harry smiled into the kiss, humming happily and wrapping his arms around Tom’s neck.
Severus watched the pair, realizing how far Harry had come,if he was able to happily allow Tom to pull him by the hair and use it to bring him in for a kiss. He truly had healed quite remarkably. He found himself very proud of his elder son and his mate.
Harry sighed as Tom pulled away. “You’re going to be the death of me. You’re too charming.” He said.
Tom smiled. “I’m supposed to be. I always have been. Besides, it’s all for your benefit now.”
Harry smiled. “I appreciate it.” He said.
“That’s all that matters.” Tom said smugly. “Now, if we are given leave to return to Hogwarts—”
“Not before I give Rigel one more cuddle!” Harry said, holding out his arms.
Tom sighed as Sirius handed over the baby and Harry smiled down at his brother. Tom smiled, imagining Harry holding their own baby in a few years. He’d be a great father, and Tom hoped he would do well, too, but he had not even had so much as a few years with a decent parent to raise him, so he had no illusions that he would find it easy. If sheer determination counted for anything, though, he would make it work.
Harry kissed the baby’s forehead one more time. “I’ll be coming home for Christmas.” He said surely.
Tom chuckled. “Of course my little sub is sweet on the new baby. We’ll both be alternating between here and my Manor, I suppose.” He amended.
Harry sighed. “Yeah.” He handed Rigel back. “He’s beautiful, Sirius. We’ll see you later.”
Sirius puffed up in pride. “I’ll be here, and so will Rigel.” He told them. “Now go on back to Hogwarts.”
Severus laid a hand on Harry’s shoulder. “Be good, and I will see you in class tomorrow.”
“See you then, Dad!” Harry said before leaving for the receiving room to Floo back to school.
Harry and Tom then Flooed back to school, opting to come out in the Headmistress’ office rather than Severus’ rooms, and said their hellos and let her know Sirius had given birth to a healthy baby boy.
She smiled at the news. “I’m sure Severus is pleased.” She said, and Harry laughed.
“He’s thrilled, really.” He confirmed.
“Well, I’ll let you two be on your way. Have a good day, boys.” She told them, and they both thanked her and left.
“Room of Requirement?” Harry asked.
Tom nodded. “Yes, let’s go.” He said.
They headed to the room and Harry waited patiently while Tom paced the hallway, then opened the door that appeared and immediately shut it again, face flaming. “Nope, that's not it.”
Harry grinned. “Move, I want to see.” He said, shoving Tom aside. He opened the door as Tom groaned and burst out laughing. “Wow, kinky dungeon much?” He teased.
The room was indeed a kinky dungeon, complete with padded walls hung with chains and a St. John’s cross and other things that Harry could only guess at the purpose of.
“See? Not what we are looking for!”
Harry kept gazing around. “Yes, but if you hadn’t been thinking about it, then the room wouldn’t have summoned it. So maybe you have something to tell me?”
Tom shook his head. “It’s a preference I used to have. My mind was wandering.” He admitted.
Harry grinned and shut the door. “I may be interested in exploring where exactly it wandered to. Later.” He said.
Tom cleared his throat. “Alright, let’s try this again.” He traced his path and waited while the door disappeared, then reappeared.
He opened it slowly and breathed a sigh of relief. “Here we are.”
He led the way in and they looked around. “It’s Ravenclaw’s Diadem, looks like an ornate headpiece.” Tom explained as they searched.
Harry found it and they got it down off the bust it was sitting atop. “To the room with it?” He asked.
“Yes, let’s get it hidden and keep it safe while I work out the easiest way to destroy the damn thing without risking life or limb.” Tom agreed.
