The Past- Ch 34
January 12, 1973

While Aurelius was technically just as much Lily’s twin as Severus was, Alaric had no intention of touching the young heiress. Severus was already wound too tight as it was, his jaw clenched and his eyes were lit with jealousy.

The witch was determined to see their guardian and assure herself that he was fine.

The apartment door flew open as the mismatched twins approached.

Lucius flew to his feet, shielding an unconscious Aurelius with his body and held his wand in a defensive stance.

“Is he alright? Tell me he’s alright…” Lily begged.

Lucius slowly relaxed, his wand being replaced on the table beside the bed. “He collapsed.”

“I know that I felt it. I felt it when he collapsed. Is he alright? Tell me Lucius, I have to know…”

“They have both kept a secret, they have anaemia the both of them. Aurelius’ just took a nasty turn, we have a treatment planned. It is probably a result of your conception, you don’t seem to be affected Lily but Severus and Aurelius are. Andromeda is brewing the potion we need to manage his anaemia, he should be alright.”

Alaric purposefully left out the fact that he was in part responsible for this; Aurelius’ collapse.

“He just better not keep his health a secret or I will hex him,” Lucius muttered.

Lily spun around and grabbed Severus by his robe glaring, “You kept this secret from me too?”

“I am a private person. Being twins explained our instant connection, I don’t like having you in my head. I don’t like having anyone in my head. I dislike it as much as I dislike sharing you.” Severus grumbled.

“Sharing me how?”

“Aurelius is your twin too… I can’t feel him or sense his thoughts but you can. I don’t like it. I know we’re better off here and not in Cokeworth, but I’m still possessive of things that are mine; my sister, my friend.”

“I know this is because of what that bastard did to you,” Lily sniped,”You can’t act like this, just because we are twins doesn’t mean that I am yours. I am me, I belong to myself. I don’t mind being both of your anchor but I will have my own life. You both need to be happy and find a life that is yours; Aurelius has his politics and Lucius. You will find what you want, be that potions or love.”

Severus snorted.

Alaric deduced this was his way of scoffing about love. In that manner, Severus reminded him strongly of himself. He would enjoy watching the boy find some semblance of happiness if only to understand that smugness that Oran felt when he himself started showing signs of attachment to Lady Cassie.

He let Lucius politely kick them out of Aurelius’ room so their guardian and his associate could rest.

Lily and Severus headed off to their respective rooms, Lily paused to look back at Aurelius’ closed door only to have Severus tug her way with a scowl.

XooooooX

Alaric intended a full-blood adoption for Aurelius utilising Lord-Consort Arcadius Prince and Madam Bones’ blood. Yes, Severus himself needed to be blood adopted and Alaric fully intended to use Oran’s blood to do so.

He didn’t need Lily to be totally blood adopted and intended to use Alphard Black’s blood to adopt her after Harry was born. Damaging the twin bond between Aurelius and Lily or Severus and Lily wasn’t his intention.

He just wanted to hope that his choices wouldn’t cause her health problems like his mistakes that caused Aurelius become ill.

Watching Andromeda brew by proxy after leaving the twins with Aurelius and Lucius wasn’t that boring. She had a keen eye and like his own Lady Cassiopeia had a pure dark magical aura. If he had a daughter like her, his second chance definitely would have promise.

Andromeda clearly had skill very much like Aurelius and she was only a sixth year…

“How long are you going to haunt this lab?” Andromeda sniffed.

“Until the potion is ready, we need it completed first. Then we can focus on deciding the proper blood adoption potion.” Alaric shrugged.

“Annie? What’s next? I really have trouble focusing with your skulking in the corner…” Ted gulped, “sir…”

Alaric scoffed under his breath, ‘what did she see in this Muggleborn?’

“What I see, Lord Alaric is my own business, sir.”

Alaric was a bit annoyed that she practically read his mind.

“I didn’t read your mind, I’m not a natural Legimens. Your expression said it all. I had hoped that Baron Lestrange had taught you better control by example.”

Alaric scowled, his low breeding was showing. Lady Cassiopeia wouldn’t be pleased at all…

Being called out for it by her relative made it all the more unnerving.

This potion was so difficult that while Andromeda held the recipe, she needed one pair of hands to prepare the ingredients and another to brew.

It was interesting to hear Lolly and Andromeda debating whether or not to use the spell to speed up time in the cauldron.

Lolly claimed that she, a mere house elf could speed up the time without the charm and do it safely.

Andromeda knew the charm but had limited experience using it and with her magic in flux due to pregnancy, it was likely unwise.

Ted kept his head down; clearly, he felt some measure of guilt because of the pregnancy and undoubtedly knew that he was in no way capable of casting such a spell.

Alaric sighed, interjecting, “I’ll cast it. If only to get this potion to Aurelius sooner and to stop your clashing voices.”

Andromeda frowned, “You know the charm, sir?”

“Of course, I do. I learned it from Abraxus.” Alaric scoffed.

Andromeda handed off the book containing the recipe, “In the notes sir.”

Alaric quickly skimmed not only the recipe but the referenced notes.

“I see.”

Alaric followed directions, speeding up the time inside the cauldron just as needed to ensure that the potion was ready for the next stage. Between Ted’s ingredient preparation, Lolly’s brewing and Andromeda’s direction, the potion seemed to be as expected for this point in the brewing process.

Alaric continued in his efforts to finish the greatly needed potion.

It was the least he could do since the more dangerous version of Aurelius’ anaemia was ultimately his fault…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
