------------------------------------------------------------
Severus lead Harry to a secluded part of the school grounds, it was nearing midnight on the summer solstice and was time to work the spell to remove the piece of Voldemort from his lover's person. He'd brewed the potions and Harry had practiced the runes to mark on the ground and memorized the incantations. Now it only remained to perform it. Anguis was wrapped around Severus' arm as Harry would have to cast the circle and remain in it by himself and Fawkes glided silently in front of them, knowing where they were going.
Once in the clearing, Severus took Harry's face in his hands and brushed a soft kiss over his lips. "I can not help you cast the circle or chant the spell but I will be here pet."
"That's enough love, I know you're here and I draw strength from that." Harry cupped Severus' cheek lovingly before crouching to draw the runes where they belonged. He lit his candles and laid out the wool string that marked the circle. Harry took the two bottles of potion that Snape had brewed for him and drank them both. Surprisingly they didn't taste very bad, just slightly bitter in the aftertaste. Harry stood in his circle, breathing deeply, trying to expel every thought and emotion that didn't have to do with the enchantment. It was easier if his mind was blank.
When everything was in order Harry looked up and smiled at Severus. "Wish me luck." Harry closed his eyes again as he slowly started to hiss out the purification spell.
Severus pet Anguis and opened his magical eye to see the threads of magic forming around Harry as he chanted in parsel. There was the deep violet of destruction, because at it's core a purification spell destroyed what was corrupted, the pale, pale blue of healing, the bright yellow of cleansing, and the strong red of power laced through the weave. Then the colorless threads of Magic herself came, called easily to Harry in parsel as the summer solstice struck midnight. A bright aqua light gathered around Harry as he continued to hiss the chant and seemed to sink into him, seeking out that which did not belong to him. It converged on the curse scar and the light suddenly burst from that spot, as if it had seized the dark piece of corrupted soul and exploded. Severus barely kept from rushing forward and breaking the circle as Harry hit his knees. The only thing stopping him was the youth's continued chanting, the ritual was not finished yet.
It felt like someone had rammed an axe straight into his head, everything exploded in pain and Harry shut his eyes tightly to be able to finish the spell. When he had hissed out the last words he raised his arms and clapped his hands three times to signal that the enchantment was done. He struggled to open his eyes and in a burst of power left over from the spell the candles went out.
As soon as the candles were out, Severus was by Harry's side. He brought a soft cloth soaked with dittany potion up and dabbed at the reopened scar, cleaning the blood off Harry's face gently. "Are you okay?"
"I have no idea." Harry blinked owlishly at Severus and tried to concentrate on anything except the terrible pounding in his head. "It looks as if I'm still here though so I'm taking that as a good sign." He smiled at his lover crookedly before his eyes rolled into his head and he promptly passed out.
Severus made a choked sound of concern and Fawkes fluttered down from where he'd perched in the trees to make a soft trill before flashing them to the hospital ward. Where Madam Pomfrey made a soft shriek at the sudden appearance then put her hands on her hips. "Can't you two stay out of trouble for a single month?! I swear....put him on the bed." She pointed to the bed that she was starting to dub Harry's in her mind. "What on earth were you two doing?"
Snape made a brief explanation that made the woman's eyes widen even as she began casting a diagnosis spell on Harry. She hummed, tapped her foot, and nodded. "Well then, it's just magical exhaustion. Whatever spell it was took a lot of power, a lot of power Severus."
She met his eyes sternly. "I doubt if, even in his prime, Dumbledore could have cast the spell you just described. I don't think I need to go into the implications for you." She glanced at the phoenix, which was now perched on the hospital bed's frame. "I suppose I can't convince you or the bird to leave for the night. Transfigure a cot. He should wake in the morning." She clipped off, leaving Severus to reach down, letting Anguis slither to curl up next to Harry's head.
He brushed the hair back from his lover's forehead and kissed it softly next to the healing scar. "Sleep well pet." He didn't bother to transfigure a cot, he just slipped into the bed with Harry, wrapping his arms around him protectively.
Harry woke and blinked his eyes at the sunlight streaming into the room from the high windows. His head felt a bit fuzzy but he was warm and comfortable, he buried his face into his lover's chest to escape the bright light when he finally noticed that they weren't in their bed. This bed was much more narrow and not nearly as comfortable as the one in Severus' quarters. The smells and sounds of the room made it clear where they were and Harry almost sighed at the fact that he had apparently managed to land himself in the hospital wing once more. He spread his hand over Severus chest and felt the other man's heart beat beneath his fingers, debating if he should fall back asleep or not.
The slight stirring of his lover had the older man awake in an instant. "Harry? How do you feel?"
"Mmm, tired." Harry rubbed his nose in the soft fabric of Severus' shirt and turned his face to look up at his lover. "As well as achy and sore but okay, I still feel like me."
Snape brushed a kiss over the bridge of his lover's nose. "Good. Poppy said that the spell would never have worked for Albus in his prime, technically you shouldn't have been able to do it as you've not yet come into your magical inheritance." He ran his hand down Harry's back. "You know that the magical power you have will be increased exponentially on your seventeenth birthday considering the power you already have...we'll need to spend the week of your birthday underground to keep your presence secret from Voldemort. Otherwise your inheritance will be felt by the whole of magical Britain and Voldemort will send his servants after you while you recover from it."
"Holed up underground with you...Somehow that doesn't seem so bad." Harry shifted so that he could prop himself up on his elbow and watch Severus. "Recover from it? Will it make me weak or sick? Hermione didn't seem any different when she turned seventeen." Harry's mind was still a bit foggy and he rested his head on Snape's shoulder again.
"Reactions differ depend on the power and gender of the witch or wizard. Witches traditionally have less violent inheritance passages because too violent could damage their ability to have children as the cells of the body are flooded with power and create more. Also Miss Granger, for all that she is one of the strongest witches Hogwarts has seen in some time, is also a muggleborn. It is called an inheritance because the lingering magic of those who have gone before you also floods your body along with your own, creating new abilities you may not have had before or strengthening those you already have. Miss Granger has no magical ancestors so she did not receive that extra punch. You however, have the Potter line behind you and may have others we are not aware of. Only arrogant prats like Lucius let the world know of their entire lineage where most wizards keep it quiet if they have an ancestor of great power. It's considered a trump card if one is ever needed to be pulled. If you recall Mr. Weasley had to sleep the entire day away after his inheritance. Yours, considering the power you already possess, will exhaust you even more than you are now as your body adjusts to the sudden increase in the reservoir for your magic and the surge that stretched it." Severus's fingers stroked through the youth's hair affectionately.
"Even more exhausted then now, right now that seems impossible." Harry purred under Severus' touch. "I swear it feels as if my body consists of noodle limbs." He stretched. "It worked though right, the bastard is out of my head?"
The older man chuckled. "Well it is your head. You tell me? Your scar burst open and light poured from it but you'll have to poke at the part of your head he was connected to mentally to see if it worked. I didn't spend all that time teaching you Occlumency for nothing."
"What? You mean it wasn't just to ogle my sweet self?" Harry gasped in mock shock but started to look inside himself. His mental net seemed untouched and safe, no ripples or tears. He went deeper and there was no pain, no sense of something that didn't belong there. "I think he's out." Harry breathed in relief, this meant no more visions and no more Voldemort peaking inside his thoughts. "I won't be able to feel when he's up to something any longer though so absolutely no getting hurt or kidnapped."
"I have no intentions of doing either. Besides I will not be more than two rooms away from you until Voldemort is eradicated." He scattered kisses over Harry's face. "You can't get yourself in trouble either Mr. Potter as I can not save you by being a sneaky spying bastard any longer."
"Well both have to be careful then" Harry snuggled impossibly closer to the other man leaving no air between them. "Will stick together and kick Voldemort’s arse, make him disappear once and for all so that we can all get on with our lives without fear."
"Mmhmm." Severus nuzzled his lover's temple just as a barking was heard in the hallway coming closer to the infirmary. "Of course they're here, don't they ever sleep in?"
"Sleep in, I doubt they've gone to sleep yet." Harry chuckled just as a large black dog burst through the infirmary doors followed closely by Remus Lupin.
"Harry, how are you? Siri was worried sick when he heard you were here but Poppy wouldn't let us in before now." Remus scratched the dog between his ears.
"I'm fine. You needn't worry about me." Harry didn't lift his head from Severus' chest as he spoke, he was very comfortable where he was.
The animagus shifted to human form and leaned worriedly over them, one hand on his growing belly. "What happened pup? Why are you in the infirmary?"
"I only over reached myself a bit, really it's no big deal." Harry reached up to pull gently on an inky black lock of his godfather's hair. "We performed a purification spell yesterday and the backlash was a bit of a kick, that's all."
Sirius eyed Harry suspiciously then slid his gaze over to Snape, lifting a brow for conformation.
The potions master just met the gaze levelly. "Yes, that is exactly what happened. Now would you mind backing off? Your dog breath is curling my nose hair."
Sirius pouted as he stood straight again. "I get no respect."
"Well you did hover love." Remus wrapped his arms around his lover's waist from behind and pulled flushed against his body. "You sure you're alright Harry? Spells like that shouldn't be taken lightly."
"I'm just fine and it was a very necessary spell. Everything is okay and I promise that there's nothing to worry about." Harry was still grinning like a loon at the nose hair comment.
"Why was it so necessary?" Sirius leaned back against his mate.
Severus lifted a brow. "Were you aware that the curse scar was Voldemort's sixth Horcrux?"
Sirius' eyes grew wide as silver dollars and all he could get out was a questioning wheeze.
Remus' hands tightened minutely on top of his mate's stomach too. "A Horcrux? Why didn't we know this and how did you know?" The werewolf's usual calm intelligence seemed to have abandoned him. "Were you at least successful in purifying it, no more bad guy in there?" Remus ached when he thought that this was just one more thing Harry had had to go through.
"I think that it worked yes, and there was no reason to worry you by telling. What could you have done about it any way?" Harry asked.
Severus nipped Harry's ear sharply. "That...is perilously close to Dumbledore thinking. Don't do it again."
"Oh Merlin, when you put it like that...I will tell you everything from now on...Come on, ask away, no secrets here." Harry gave his lover a wicked grin.
Sirius grinned, the Marauder in him automatically coming to the fore. "So how high does Batty stand?" His suggestive grin made it obvious what he meant and it just grew at the horrified look on Snape's face.
"Why Siri, aren't you satisfied with what you have?" Remus tried to look hurt but he had to hide his grin.
"He's off the scale Snuffles...Off the scale." Harry replied and reached up to place a kiss to the tip of Severus' nose.
Severus growled and bit at Harry's lips, "Your dogfather is embarrassing."
Sirius hooted. "Go Harry!" He turned and beamed at his own lover, "And Moony you know no one and nothing compares to you baby. My belly is growing proof of that."
Remus colored and nipped at the soft skin under his mate's ear. "Tact is a truly foreign concept for you isn't it?"
The pregnant man made a soft pleased sound and angled his head to let Remus have better access. "Tact is just another word for saying things that aren't true so why would I want to learn that language. I much prefer the language of love, mon amour."
"You are incorrigible." Remus nipped his way down Sirus' throat. "And I wouldn't want you any other way."
"Um...If you're going to continue them maybe you should move it somewhere private. Don't scar my sensitive young eyes." Harry looked at the snuggling pair next to the bed.
"Yes by all means, leave. I certainly have no desire to know how high either of you stand." Severus drawled icily. "Take your rioting hormones elsewhere Black."
Sirius turned his head and stuck his tongue out at Snape, blowing a raspberry. "Spoilsport." He looked back at Remus and nipped the werewolf's chin. "Shall we love? Don't want to horrify Batty's teeny mind now do we?"
"Mmm, I think that might be best." Remus hand disappeared from Sirius' belly to pinch a delectible behind. "Let's go to our room Siri, I want to take advantage of your rioting hormones." Remus waved goodbye to the couple in the sick bed and started to drag his mate towards the door.
The animagus happily went with him, not bothering to transform as even the students living on the ground now were all gathered down near Hagrid's hut gawking at unicorns.
Severus shook his head then looked at his own lover. "'Off the scale' Mr. Potter? Where are you getting material for comparison from?"
"Oh you have no idea the wild life I live in secret." Harry chuckled. "No, all I know is that you rock my world professor Snape, what else could I ask for?" He moved his hands so he could wrap them around Severus' neck and pull him down for a more heated kiss.
The older man leaned over Harry, returning the kiss with interest and things just might have gotten more interesting if Poppy hadn't chosen just that moment to come back in. A loud throat clearing had them breaking apart.
"None of that in my infirmary. Mr. Potter you are to be resting and Severus, you are to let him. No hanky-panky."
"Sorry Madam Pomfrey." Harry flushed and ducked his head. "I feel fine though, I don't think there's a reason for me to have to stay." Maybe if he was released he and Severus could continue back in their own quarters.
She put her hands on her ample hips and gave him a narrow eyed look. "You are not budging from that spot for twenty four hours Mr. Potter. Severus get out of the bed and if I catch you in it again I'll freeze your libido for a month."
Snape slipped out of the bed rather swiftly as he did not doubt she'd follow through on that threat. "Of course Poppy."
"Mmhmm. I am watching the two of you." She clipped off to arrange some things, leaving the two lovers looking sheepishly at each other.
Snape cleared his throat, "Er so, would you like me to explain some wizarding history and traditions as you're a bit stuck there for the time being?"
"Um...yes?" Harry squirmed his way into a more comfortable position in the suddenly very lonely bed. "I mean yes, yes I would like that very much." He looked at his lover a bit forlornly but straightened up and smiled. "I could listen to you recite your shopping list...Your voice gets to me always."
Severus chuckled and shook his head at his own incorrigible lover then began telling of the times before magical creatures were put down in wizarding society.
-------------------------------------------------------
Sirius padded towards Hagrid's hut as the sun went down. The friendly half-giant had requested some help feeding a new herbivorous creature and Remus had been completely unconscious from the nearness of the full moon. It was only a day away. As Harry and Severus were gone off on a bit of a holiday there wasn't anyone else who could help Hagrid with the creature so Sirius, after being assured that it was a small creature and just being stubborn about it's greens, had agreed to come down and help after dinner. A rustle in the underbrush caught his attention and he sniffed the air, scenting a foul, almost rotten scent in the wind. He lunged aside just as a huge man made a grab for him.
The Grim felt his blood run cold as he recognized Fenrir Greyback grinning at him. The large werewolf very nearly purred at him in a sickening tone. "Hello there pretty boy. You and that little cub are going to make such a nice addition to my pack."
Sirius made a mad dash for the safety of Hagrid's hut, making a distressed howl hoping for some assistance but his belly slowed him down and suddenly he felt something hit him on the head, throwing him into darkness.
Fenrir picked the pregnant animagus up and headed for the forest. This little piece smelled delicious and once the cub was born he fully intended to get a good taste of him.
Remus woke up feeling uneasy and worried. It wasn't the usual near shift unease, this was something more, something dark and terrifying that clawed through his very being. He was out of bed and out in the corridors before he even could gather his wits about him.
When he got out on the grounds to go to Hagrid's hut he smelled it, it was strong and pungent and the bastard hadn't even tried to mask his scent. Greyback had his mate, his very pregnant mate. Something tore and broke inside Remus as his wolf rose to the surface, vengeful and in search of blood. No one was allowed to lay their hands on his mate, his family. A loud eerie howl rose from his throat as Remus gave chase.
Sirius whined softly as he regained consciousness, his head jerking up as soon as he remembered being chased by Greyback. The foul rotten scent caught his nose again and he growled, getting up and backing away from its direction. His ears were pinned back and his teeth bared at the werewolf staring at him hungrily. There were other scents around and Sirius took note of a many females, some beta and omega males, and of course frightened children huddling behind the females. Greyback apparently had continued his sick game of turning children and stealing them away as he'd tried to do to Remus. The very thought made him snarl.
Greyback slunk closer. "Ah-ah pretty boy, you don't want to do anything stupid. It'd be a pity if you lost your cub wouldn't you say?"
The subtle threat just made Sirius back up further and growl deeper, even as the other werewolves all cringed at his defiance of their alpha. Let Greyback try and hurt his baby, he'd rip the bastard's arm off.
"Such fire. It will be so much fun to break that spirit of yours Black and as a bonus I get to screw with my childe's head." Greyback chuckled and kept advancing as Sirius came back up against a tree. "Poor Remus will know that I've claimed his mate as nothing but a whore and taken his cub as my own. He'll go mad and all faith in werewolves capability of being gentle will be completely lost." He was within arms reach of Sirius now. "And that cub is going to be strong, he'll make a perfect son." He stretched out his hand to touch the Grim's swollen belly.
Sirius snapped, biting into Greyback's arm savagely but the bastard knocked him off with a strong blow to the head.
"Bitch! I'll make you pay for that."
Another fierce howl echoed through the air and a brownish blur flew out of the trees and latched on; on the huge werewolf. Remus growled and sank his teeth deep into the skin of Greyback's neck. He tossed the other wolf to the ground and was on him again in a second. "You have no right to touch my mate...It will be the last thing you ever did."
Greyback made a strangled snarl and swiped one clawed hand at Remus' face, squirming out of the hold. "You think you can take me on little one? I made you what you are and I'll take your little bitch for myself if I want. He's such a sweet morsel of course I'm not going to let you keep him to yourself." His sharp teeth bared in a parody of a smile. "And the cub, I'll take that too. He'll call me father and you won't even be a footnote in his mind."
Remus stuck out his tongue and licked away the blood running down his cheek. "You won't live to see my cub being born. You made me yes and it will be your greatest regret because I will take you out of this world right now." Greyback was huge and strong but Remus was fast. He kept moving clawing and biting at any exposed body part. Sirius and the baby was his entire universe and he would never ever give them up, never let a monster claim and twist them. With sharp teeth he severed the tendon at Greyback's heel, relishing in the scream that left the other. Remus wasn't fighting fair or noble, he fought to kill.
Greyback twisted, catching the smaller, faster male on the shoulder with teeth and claws, ripping a chunk of flesh from it and growling in satisfaction at the soft yelp.
Sirius watched, eyes wide, fear shaking his frame as the two werewolves tore into each other. Claws and fangs drew blood in a flurry of snarls and each time Remus took a blow he had to exert a massive amount of control to keep from making a distressed sound that could distract his mate and cost him his life.
The larger male took a devastating blow to his leg, the knee wrenching in the opposite direction and making him fall to the ground.
Seeing his chance Remus pushed out all pity and humanity out of his mind and jumped on top of Greyback. "It's over, you're not going to ruin any more lives, steal any more children or poison the world with your very being." Remus wished he could say that he felt bad for what he was about to do but he didn't. With one more howl he wrenched the other wolf's head up by his hair, leaned in and ripped his throat out.
Sirius watched as all the other werewolves around flinched at Remus' utter ruthless move and how they all cowered as if terrified the victor of that death match would come after them next. They were afraid but Sirius was, strangely enough, a little bit turned on by his mate's primal side. He was more concerned for Remus' injuries at the moment though and padded forward with a soft whine, licking at the claw gouges on his mate's cheek, not concerned about the infectious blood, it wouldn't affect him in his animal form.
Sinking down to his knees Remus petted the soft, black fur of his mate. "Are you alright? You and the cub? Did he hurt you?" Remus didn't care about his own cuts and aches, all that mattered was that he hadn't been too late to protect his family. He could sense the worry of the other wolves but he was solely focused on Sirius.
The animagus whined and leaned into his mate's touch. His head hurt like a motherfucker but his stomach felt fine so he didn't think the cub was in danger but how was he to know? He was no medic.
A soft rustle caught his attention and his head whipped up to stare at the middle aged female werewolf who was creeping close, eyes downcast, the very picture of submission and non-threatening approach.
A growl rose from Remus' throat before he could catch himself and he placed himself between the other wolf and his mate. "I'm sorry," Remus knew he was behaving badly but adrenaline still rushed through him and the wolf had never left the surface. "Can I help you?"
The woman glanced up and offered her throat to him, making sure to avoid eye contact. "I was hoping that I could help you, Alpha, you and your mate. I was a medi-witch before I was bitten."
Remus' eyes widened at Alpha he had not thought that far, he had never wanted to be the leader of a pack. "Please, if you can look at my mate I'd be grateful, the blow to his head was strong." Remus bowed his head to the female wolf. "And you're still a medi-witch, you don't need to change who you are because you're bitten. Greyback had everything all wrong."
Sirius watched as the female crept forward towards him, offering her hand to let him catch her scent, knowing better than to just grab at a pregnant canine. "Wrong about many things I do not doubt but not many are willing to have a medi-witch so afflicted treating them. I am just pleased that those of us who had wands were able to keep them." She slipped hers out with slow steady motions and cast a diagnosis spell then a healing spell to take care of the Grim's concussion. The pregnant animagus nuzzled her arm in thanks then yipped at Remus, giving him a stern look as he nudged the female at him. He wanted his mate healed, those wounds were nasty.
"I must listen to my mate." Remus smiled at Sirius fondly. "I would be very grateful if you could look at me too, I don't think it's too bad, a few more scars on this body won't make much difference." He held still as she looked him over. "Can you tell me a little about the pack, how is it built up and what are you doing, how are you surviving?" He may not have wanted to be Alpha but want or not they were his responsibility now and Remus wanted to make it better for them.
Sirius sat next to his mate as the female healed Remus.
"We are not what you would call a 'healthy' pack. There are too few of us who were ever in a healthy, functioning pack, most were turned by Greyback and some were turned by betas forced into it. He has had us living in the forbidden forest, hunting what we can for food, eating meat raw, no fires allowed even in winter, occasionally some of us will sneak into Hogsmeade to steal anything extra we need such as clothes for the young ones. When the full moon rises tomorrow we would have been made to hunt for more members to turn." She conjured bandages for the wounds too severe for immediate healing. "It will be Michael's first full moon since being bitten as well." She turned to nod at a little blond boy who was clustered with the other children in the pack.
Remus swallowed around the lump in his throat. "Things are going to change." He raised his voice so that he knew everyone could hear him. "We are wolves yes, but we are human too and neither side should be ignored or forgotten. We'll get you proper housing, food, supplies and clothes. Of course you can have fires and warmth. The ones having a problem with change can take it up with me." He ran his fingers through Sirius' fur, feeling comforted by the closeness of his mate. "If anyone wishes to leave you are allowed to, this pack won't be a prison. There will be no more turnings." He looked at the little boy. "I have Wolfsbane potion to help with the full moon, it will help the little one and make things lot less painful and scary for him. He won't lose himself." Remus cursed Greyback in his mind, the boy couldn't be older than seven. "It can help others too."
She closed her eyes and trembled just slightly in relief. "Thank Merlin," her voice was husky with restrained emotion, "I can not tell you how many times I've prayed for some kind of deliverance from Greyback's twisted ideals, if for no other reason than the children."
Sirius whined and nuzzled her hand then stretched his head up and took her jaw gently in his teeth with an affectionate growl. He knew that the wolves here would still be living at the instinctive level and he was her new alpha's mate, his actions gave her comfort and reassurance. He turned and nipped softly at Remus' arm then trotted over to the group of children, getting down on forepaws, rear-end in the air, and gave a playful yip, inviting a bit of play while Remus spoke with the adults.
Remus felt immense pride for his mate, for doing just the right thing and putting the children and thereby the pack at ease while he talked things over with the adults. He needed to get a feeling for the Beta wolves, Remus wouldn't be able to spend all his time with the pack and he needed Betas he could rely on. He needed to know that they would do the best for the pack and not follow in Greyback's footsteps. Remus refused to look over where the dead werewolf lay, he didn't want to see his handiwork. He could hear the children laughing and Sirius' playful barks in the background though and he knew he had done the right thing.
Sirius watched from the corner of his eye as his mate spoke with the Betas and noticed that the wolves relaxed more and more the longer he spoke. Relief was a living scent in the clearing and it was clear that all the wolves were more than happy to be rid of Greyback's influence. He turned his attention back to the children, nuzzling and nipping and playing until the little ones were exhausted and all fell asleep in a great big puppy pile. A few of the Omega wolves came over to sit guard around the children and touched noses with Sirius, letting him know he could go rejoin his mate. He padded over and, since he was among wolves and in the Forbidden Forest, changed into his human form, sitting close to his Moony, a hand on the swell of his belly.
They were discussing the shift during the full moon tomorrow, the Wolfsbane potion, and how there wasn't enough for two nights for the entire pack. Sirius leaned his head on Remus' shoulder. "We'll send a message to Batty. He and Harry would happily come back to brew more." He poked Remus in the side when his mate tried to protest, much to the smiles and amusement of the pack. "The pup will have our heads if we don't and you know it."
"You're right, I really hate bothering them on their holiday but this takes precedence. We really need more potion, at least enough for all the pups, they shouldn't have to be in pain when the change comes." Remus ran his knuckles over Sirius' cheek and pulled out his wand. He sent his patronus, unsurprisingly a silvery shape of his mate's animagus form in search of Harry and Snape and he hoped that they would be quick to reply.
Sirius nuzzled his mate's neck. "If I know Harry, he'll demand the old bat Apparate to Hogsmeade as soon as they get the message." He yawned a bit, the evening's events having taken a toll on his energy level.
The medi-witch female spoke up, "Alpha you should take your mate back to the school. He shouldn't be out here in his condition. We will remain here for your return."
"I will be back later to talk more with you and to arrange a few things but you are right. My mate has been through a lot today and he should get back to the castle." Remus pressed a kiss to Sirius' temple and started to get up. He really did want his mate back in Hogwarts where he could rest up and where Remus would be sure that he would be safe. "Let's go baby."
The animagus stood up, gave the wolves and smile and a wave, and pressed against his mate's side as they began heading back through the forest to Hogwarts. "I really don't feel like taking Padfoot's form right now, think an obscuro charm should be enough to keep me under wraps?"
Remus nodded and wrapped his arm around his mate's waist. "I think that should be alright, it's late and there's not many kids who stayed in Hogwarts to begin with." He pressed a kiss to Sirius's hair. "You shouldn't change back and forward anyway, not with the trauma you've been through." Remus almost started to shake when he thought about what could have happened to his family. "I was so scared baby, so scared that I would be too late."
Sirius cupped his Moony's cheek. "You weren't. I'm right here, safe and sound," he caught Remus' hand and brought it to the swell of his belly, "We're safe and sound and all because Daddy saved us. You were just in time." He angled his head up and caught his mate's lips in a reassuring kiss that both of them needed. He didn't intend to show it but he was shaken by the events tonight just as much as Remus was, he didn't like thinking he could be vulnerable but right now, with the baby, he was frighteningly so.
"That's all that matters, you and baby safe and sound." Remus caressed his mate's belly feeling the energy of their cub inside. "Let's get you home and pampered before I go back to camp." He pulled Sirius in for another kiss, cupping the other man's cheeks gently before they started walking again. Remus felt relieved when the glittering lights of Hogwarts castle showed in the distance. He pulled his wand and cast a gently disillusionment charm on Sirius and they walked along up to the castle.
Sirius didn't argue as a sudden wave of fatigue washed over him again. He was exhausted and all he wanted was to fall into their bed and sleep for a solid twelve hours. They got to their chambers and he stripped out of his clothes and went straight for the bed. "Merlin I'm tired. He reached up and smiled at Remus, who was hovering worriedly. "Tell Minerva and Hagrid what happened then head back to the pack," he yawned, "you can pamper me until I'm a pile of useless goo tomorrow." He pulled Remus' hand to his belly again, "We love you Moony."
"I love you too, both of you." Remus rubbed the swollen belly gently and leaned down to kiss Sirius. "Rest now and if you need anything at all, send me a patronus. I'll be here in a flash." Remus made sure Sirius was snuggled down in their bed and that he was comfortable when everything he could need or crave within reaching range. He placed the bottles with Wolfsbane potion that he had in a bag and went to find Minerva and Hagrid to talk to them before he headed back into the forest.
The animagus almost immediately dropped off to sleep, a smile on his face, secure in the knowledge that his Moony would always be there for him.
