------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius chuckled from under his mate and nipped at Remus' shoulder. "Hey, I'm hungry and you've only sated the one appetite."
Remus rolled off Sirius with a playful grunt. "I suppose I will have to let you go for now then, though we are nowhere near done." He ran his fingers through disheveled hair. "Do you think there's any chance for meat? Rare."
The animagus stretched where he lay then moved off the bed, sliding into a pair of trousers and a robe. "I'm pretty sure the elves can arrange some nice thick bloody steak." He leaned down to brush a kiss over his mate's lips before an irritable hoot caught his attention. He chuckled at the owl sitting on the curtain rod glaring balefully at them with the newspaper in its talons. "Well give it over then."
The bird flapped its wings took off and dropped the paper into Sirius' hands before flapping out the open window. Sirius just shook his head and unrolled the paper before paling at what he saw. He read the article and managed to get to Bellatrix's picture before his eyes rolled back in his head and he dropped to the ground in a faint.
Panicking wildly Remus shuffled over to put his mate on the mattress trying to get him to wake up but to no avail. Remus' heart was in his throat as he jumped into the closest pair of pants and sunk down in front of the fireplace flooing the only one he could think of that could help him. He only hoped that Snape would be there to take the call. If not he would take Sirius to Poppy, consequences be damned, he was not losing his mate.
There was no answer at the floo.
A pathetic wolf like whine rose from Remus' throat and he hurried over to the bed again, wrapped Sirius in the soft sheet and picked him up. He ran the stairs two steps at the time and cursed Dumbledore for not allowing floo travel or apparition within Hogwarts grounds. He slammed open the door to the infirmary. "Madam Pomfrey...Please, please help me!"
Poppy gaped at the frantic werewolf in front of her with a sheet wrapped human sized lump in his arms. "Remus? What on earth?"
"Help him." Remus's eyes shifted from amber to brown and back again without his control and he clutched Sirius close to him. "Everything was fine, he was hungry. Then he read the paper and just...collapsed. I can't get him to wake up."
Poppy herself almost collapsed when she saw who it was Remus was carrying but then her healer training took over and she ordered Remus to place him on one of the back beds. She drew the curtain around it and pointed at the chair beside the bed. "Sit! And stay there, not so much as a peep unless I ask a question. Which there will be plenty of later." She then set about examining the escaped convict, jumping when he began stirring on his own.
Sirius' eyes went wide when he saw the familiar face of the medi-witch looking down at him. "Oh shite."
"Indeed Mr. Black. No! Do not even think of sitting up until I know why you fainted in the first place." She took out her wand and cast a diagnostic spell, brows lifting halfway up her forehead when she read the results. "Huh, well."
"What is it, what's wrong with him?" Remus was still struggling to keep control but he was extremely relieved that his mate was lucid again. "You scared me Siri, scared me so bad."
"Sorry?" Sirius reached out for his mate's hand, taking it and trying to calm his wolf even though he was fairly upset and disturbed himself.
Poppy folded her arms across her chest. "Am I to assume you two are mates?"
Amber eyes flashed towards her and Remus edged closer to Sirius protectively, holding his hand tightly. "We are yes."
She looked up at the ceiling as if seeking strength from a higher power. "One year, one sweet fine year I will finally be able to spend an entire school year without facing something outside the norm." Then she looked back down at her patient and his mate. "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Black. He is in perfect health."
"Then why did he faint like that?" Remus looked at his mate. "Believe me Poppy when I say that my mate is not the swooning kind, not matter how upset he is." Remus didn't know if he could trust the medi-witch's words that nothing was wrong, not when his mate fainted on him like that.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with your mate, Daddy." She paused and waited for the last word to sink in to the werewolf's mind. It obviously sank into Black's immediately if the silver dollar sized eyes were anything to go by.
Remus frowned, wondering what the heck Poppy was on about when it finally hit him and his jaw hit the floor. "Pregnant?...A baby?" Part of Remus was scared to death and the other was more excited then he had ever been. A child with his mate, after Azkaban and everything that had happened neither of them had thought it a possibility. "A family Siri...Our own family." Remus grabbed his mate in a fierce kiss before his howl of joy echoed throughout the castle.
"Moo-mmmmmph!" Sirius melted into the kiss and very nearly purred into his mate's mouth, though he'd never admit to ever making any noise that could be considered feline. He gripped his mate's shoulders and let Remus' touch wash away the wave of utter terror that tried to rise.
A loud throat cleared and had Sirius pushing Remus back with a whispered "Later." Then they turned their gazes on Poppy Pomfrey, who tapped her foot and pointed at Remus. "Alright you, I know you well enough to know that, mate or not, you would not aide someone who helped kill Lily and James so someone had better tell me why I have a pregnant escaped convict in my infirmary. Now."
Remus explained all that had happened, Wormtail's betrayal and Sirius imprisonment and escape with some help from Sirius himself. He told her that Dumbledore knew of Sirius' innocence and allowed him to stay with Remus in the castle as long as he kept in his animagus form in public. "We're doing the best to prove his innocence but the ministry isn't exactly interested in admitting to another mistake at this time." Heavy bitterness shone through in Remus' voice.
She shook her head. "You two are a mess." She summoned a few pamphlets and handed them to the two parents-to-be. "That is information of dos and don'ts. If Severus knows of your presence and innocence go to him directly for prenatal nutrition potions, if not I will arrange for them. You," she pointed at Sirius, "I want to see you in here once a month. You can continue to transform into that great beast of a dog and back again without any harm to the baby until the seventh month as it's a magical transformation unlike the lycanthropic transformation. After the seventh month, or more accurately the twenty-seventh week, however remain human, unless you want to have a puppy instead of a baby for a year."
"Er, no I think I'll stay human after the twenty-seven week mark." Sirius grimaced.
"I agree with Siri there, as fond as I am with Padfoot I really would like a babe and not a pup." Remus was still teetering on the line between fear and absolute joy. "Siri...Imagine Snape's face when he finds out..."
The animagus snorted. "He'll choke on his own tongue."
"Be nice." Remus replied with a chuckle and ran his fingers down Sirius' stubbly cheek. "Thank you very much Madam Pomfrey, for treating him with an open mind even when you didn't know the truth. Not many people give us a chance."
"Muggles are not the only ones who are bound my a Hippocratic Oath Remus. I always did wonder about his guilt in any case. Now take your mate back to your quarters or for a walk or some thing and out of my infirmary, go shoo!" She flapped her apron at them. Smiling when they scurried out.
Sirius transformed and stuck close to Remus' side, nipping at the werewolf's heels and angling his head towards the dungeons. He wanted to get the nutrition potions taken care of as soon as possible so he could then spend some quiet time with his mate.
Remus followed the large dog and nodded his head as they made it down the many stairs towards the dungeons until they reached the Potions Master's door. Remus knocked briskly and hoped that Snape had returned since he hadn't answered the floo call earlier.
The door was pulled back and the dungeon bat was indeed in residence once more. "Lupin," he glanced down at the dog, "Mutt. Come in. Harry was concerned when we went to your quarters and you didn't answer."
"Well there was an...Event. I tried to floo you earlier but got no reply." Remus walked in close to Padfoot.
"Snuffles, Moony. Good to see you." Harry smiled and waved from the couch where he was sitting stroking his fingers over Anguis' gleaming scales. "I was worried something had happened." He looked at the dog closely, Snuffles seeming even more bouncy than usual.
The dog immediately shifted to human form and went over to ruffle Harry's hair. "Pup. Something did happen in a way. Nothing bad, so don't get that panicky look on your face."
"What has happened then?" Harry leaned into his godfather's touch with a smile. "You were very upset when we left Grimmauld Place and then the newspaper...I know you can't be happy about that."
"Hmm well I sort of fainted and Moony panicked and took me to Pomfrey, and now we've been sent down here to get some prenatal nutrition potions for me." He grinned and waited for the reactions.
Rather than swallow his tongue as predicted, Snape stared for a few seconds then raised his hand to cover his face. "Dear Merlin they've spawned."
Remus glared at Snape and stepped closer to Sirius just as Harry got it.
"You're pregnant?" His green eyes were saucer wide as he looked at his scruffy and very manly godfather. He knew now that it was possible for wizards to get pregnant but it was still a bit much to take in. "I'm going to be an uncle? That’ brilliant!" Harry got up from the couch and threw himself at both Sirius and Remus to hug them tightly. "This will be the most spoilt child ever, I'm so happy for you."
Sirius laughed and hugged Harry tight. "I'm counting on you to baby-sit when we need it Quills."
Even Snape, as masterful as he was at concealing his emotions and expressions, couldn't help but crack a very very tiny smile at the happy little tableau. He moved over into his lab and went to the completed potions cabinet. He calculated roughly how long it would take him to brew a prenatal nutrition potion specifically for the mutt. Black still suffered somewhat, from what he could see, from his time in Azkaban and on the run so he'd need a heavier duty potion than most if he was to carry to term.
He gathered up four of the basic prenatal nutrition potions, put them in a small container, and carried them back out into the sitting room. He handed the container to Lupin. "Come back in four days for more, then monthly."¨
"Thank you Severus." Remus was truly grateful. It was still surreal and he wasn't sure he had been able to take the news in completely yet but he knew that the coming months would become difficult, an adjustment for the both of them. Remus already knew that his protective and possessive instincts regarding his mate would almost explode in strength and he also knew that Sirius wasn't some weak creature that would allow himself to be handled. Having a brilliant potions master close by would be a huge relief and take away at least one problem.
"Hm." Snape watched Harry talk animatedly with his godfather, with occasional grimaces thrown in. "You might like to know, I've adjusted the Wolfsbane formula. I haven't completely tested it yet but it should prove much more effective."
Remus wasn't able to completely hide his surprise. "Then it seems that I have even more to thank you for."
Harry bounded up to them still grinning. "I'm just making a run to the kitchens, we need cake to celebrate...Please don't kill each other while I'm gone." He disappeared out the door and promised to be back shortly. So many bad things were happening and Harry felt that when something happy and good did happen it should be celebrated properly.
Severus watched the young brunette trot into the kitchen, a small smile tugging on his lips. When he glanced at Black again he saw an odd look on his face. "What?"
"Well, being as I find myself in the condition that I'm in, I feel it necessary to assure myself. You are using contraceptive charms aren't you?"
Snape's eyes widened and his cheeks mottled. "By Merlin Black! Is tact a foreign language to you?"
The dog animagus grinned. "Why yes you great bat it is. So?"
"Siri..." Remus meant to sound chastising he really did but it came out more amused than anything. "Don't embarrass Severus like that...Besides I don't smell their scents mingled in that way so I don't think you have to worry just yet."
"Aw but Moony," Sirius tilted his head playfully, "It's my solemn duty to make sure that Batty doesn't get Quills in trouble, and to sic you on him if he does before I have our cub."
"Then who am I to stop you? Just don't run behind me for cover when Harry finds out about you badgering bat...Severus and decides to shave your fur." Remus couldn't help himself, seeing the normally composed Snape being flustered was highly amusing.
"Back, what did I miss?" Harry backed into the room carrying a tray with several kinds of cake on, the house elves had been more than accommodating.
Sirius just shrugged. "Nothing special. Just talking to your favorite dungeon dweller."
"Being nice I hope." Harry's eyes were sharp and green as he looked at the three older men in the room. He placed the tray on the table. "Come on and choose your cake, what flavor does mommy want?"
Sirius chuckled and pretended to peruse the cakes before choosing a humongous chunk of chocolate ganache cake. "Mommy is going to get big as a house but so long as Moony doesn't mind, I'm happy to gorge." He grabbed a fork and dug in to the cake.
"Why would I mind? You’re here with me, you can get as huge as you want and I will worship and love every inch of you." Remus smiled and chose a more moderate sized piece of strawberry shortcake.
They were so cute together, Harry felt his heart warm. Usually Sirius and Remus weren't very big on public displays of affection and Harry loved seeing them like this.
"What kind of cake do you want Sev?" Harry moved closer to his own loved one.
The professor chose a small sliver of carrot cake. "You realize this technically ruins your dinner." Teasing amusement glimmered in the dark gaze, hidden from all but Harry.
"Oh no, however will I cope without proper nutrients for one night?" Harry's eyes were wide and mock innocent as he sucked on his forkfull of chocolate fudge cake.
"Mmm it is a good thing there are all kinds of nutrient potions." A bit of white frosting somehow managed to get onto the professor's finger and, in retaliation for the sensual little play Harry'd just done with the fork, he carefully and quite deliberately licked his finger clean, eyes fixed on Harry's.
Sirius raised his brows, looked over at his mate and murmured so just the werewolf could hear him. "If their scents aren't mingled yet it's not far off."
Remus nodded. "I think it's a good idea to eat and run...I do not want to be witness to any scent-mingling." He noticed how Harry's eyes had grown dark and dilated as he watched Snape.
"Oh yes, I'm soooo lucky to have a potions master to keep me healthy when I misbehave." Harry's voice had grown husky.
"See what I mean?" Remus whispered.
Sirius shuddered. "Ewwww Moony why would you be so mean as to put that image in my head?" He pouted at his mate and forked up his last bite of cake. "Almost puts me off my chocolate."
"Sorry baby." He pressed a kiss to Sirius temple, hiding his grin against his mate's wild hair. "I think it's time for us to take our leave though...To celebrate in private."
The former Azkaban inmate turned and nipped the edge of Remus' jaw. "I love the way you think." He got to his feet, drawing the attention of the other two in the room. "Moony and I are heading back to our quarters, it's been a busy day."
Harry tore his eyes away from Snape with difficulty and moved over to give his godfather and Remus another hug. "Okay, thank you for coming and thank you for telling us. Congratulations again."
Remus waited until Sirius had transformed and then he opened the door and waved goodbye to Harry and Snape.
Severus, who'd already begun making his way back to his lab, called out, "Black."
The dog paused and looked over his shoulder at the potions master.
"Congratulations."
Brief canine surprise was followed by a happy bark before Padfoot and Moony left.
Harry smiled at him gently and put down his cake plate to walk over and wrap his arms around the older man. "Thank you. Have I told you today that you're wonderful?"
The hook-nosed man smiled and slipped his own arms around Harry. "You may have mentioned it. Don't thank me for congratulating the mutt. Any child is a precious gift, no matter who the parents are." He pressed a kiss to the top of Harry's head. "Now would like to help me brew your dogfather's potion?"
"Yes I would, just make sure I don't stuff it up...Leave me to chopping or something like that." He had become better but Harry was still well aware that Potions was not a strong point of his and probably never would be.
"That was my plan." Severus chuckled and lead Harry into the potions lab, pausing to move the Locket from hell into a special box designed to block energies. "Most certainly do not need that thing left out and about. Any thoughts on how to deal with it?" He put the box up on an empty shelf.
"I was thinking that I could go to professor Dumbledore's office and ask if I could borrow Gryffindor's sword, I don't think he would mind since it's to destroy a Horcrux...Then my plans were to open it and stab it I suppose." Harry rubbed the back of his neck. "I know we could do all kinds of spell checks and counter curses on it but sometimes it's better to just go for it."
Severus reached out and trailed his hand over Harry's back. "We'll go next weekend. He's bound to be insanely busy over the next week considering what's happened. It's not as though it won't keep for that long."
"You're right." Harry eyed the box. "It's kept for all those years at Grimmauld Place, one more week shouldn't matter." He let out a sigh and turned towards Snape. "Now, direct me to my chopping, peeling and stirring."
Snape chuckled and started bringing together the ingredients for Black's customized potion and told Harry what to do.
-------------------------------------
Deep in the bowels of Malfoy Manor, Voldemort smirked as he watched Bellatrix continue her torment of Lucius. She had kept to her promise to make him scream so loud and long he could barely manage whimpers from his raw throat now. He always did love seeing her work. No matter what methods she used, Bella turned torture into a high art form. He slid his glace briefly over at Rodolophus Lestrange. Even before she'd so gloriously spoken of her loyalty to his cause she'd been a favorite and he'd seen her engaged to another favorite, at the time. He had been most...displeased to discover that Rodolophus had been so undiscerning in his previous bed partners that he'd contracted a venereal disease that would have been passed on to Bellatrix had she not been so clever at avoiding it. It was a mistake he did rather regret as, looking at her now, he'd have been much better off wedding her himself.
Bellatrix had returned to cutting into Lucius' body, going beyond the surface cuts and instead actually vivisecting him after she'd dislocated several joints, her favorites having been his knees, wrenching the knees out of joint always prompted such wonderful screams. She'd broken a few bones as well, mostly ribs, with the sandfilled leather sap. Now flaps of skin were pulled back, exposing the muscle of her brother-in-law for all to see. "My my Lucius, I must say you do have rather good muscle tone but then you always were a rather delicious specimen. Such a pity."
Lucius could barely lift his lids enough to look at his insane sister in law. His voice was long gone from screaming and thankfully he had started to grow numb, she could still make it hurt but the exploding bursts of pain had ebbed away. If it had been anyone other then himself hanging from these chains Lucius might even have admired her flair, now he only hoped that she would grow bored soon and finish him off. "Rather h-hang here that have y-you touch me in any other way you crazy bitch." His words were accompanied by a wet gurgling sound, one of his broken ribs had most likely punctured a lung.
"Well I can't say as I'd have put up with you as well as Cissy did so that's certainly for the best." Her blade slicked down a layer of muscle. "No, I can do far, far better than you Lucius, should I ever wish to continue my own line. Besides, why would I want the child of an idiot?" The knife nicked an artery. "Oopsies, oh I'd better fix that before you bleed out." She reached for the woodburner to cauterize the blood vessel but the raspy voice of her Master stopped her.
"Leave it."
She turned, eyes wide and watched as her lord rose from his seat and walked over to her, cupping her blood spattered face. "He's of no more use to us and really, he's not providing good value for you any longer now is he my dear."
She turned into the cold hand as a kitten would turn into a stroke. "Well he has grown rather boring my lord. I'm sure I could get him to weep though, if it pleases you?"
"No dear Bella, as enjoyable as I find watching you work, this worm is no longer worth your skills."
Lucius felt nothing but relief as the world started to dim in the corners. He half expected to see his life rush by and to be filled with regret but he wasn't, if he had had the chance he would have lived his life the same way all over again. Despite the snag at the end of it Lucius liked his life. The only thing he wished was different was the fact that he had been stupid enough to allow himself to fail without having a scapegoat. He honestly didn't care which side won now that he wouldn't have any personal profit in the outcome of the war but he wished with all his heart that he would be able to greet Bella in hell soon. The world dimmed even more, the noises disappeared and everything turned black.
Voldemort sneered at the corpse hanging from the wall even as he looped Bellatrix's arm through his then spoke to her husband. "Rodolophus, dump this...mess in front of the Ministry. The rest of you, comb the manor for dark magic objects or tomes, take only the dark magic objects and books. If any of you pillage for your own purposes or gain I will learn of it and you will pay. Dear Bella deserves to have live creatures to keep her skills honed on after all."
She beamed up at her Master. "My Lord is too good to me."
He pat her hand. "Impossible. After we finish here we must leave. Malfoy Manor will belong to Narcissa and her son after Lucius is found. It is no longer a safe haven for us." He lead Bellatrix from the room having given his orders.
