Chapter 39:

It'll Be Epic!

“Oh, this will be epic,” Sirius snickered as he looked over the specs of the potion for the prank they were planning. While it wouldn't be what Draco pulled, it was in the same class of potions. In fact, this was what they were trying to pull off in school and could never manage. Added in was the tweak which made it time released and needed heat to activate. The plan was to line the teapot for the Order meeting with it then sit back and watch the fun begin. “Is it a sure bet this will work?” He asked Snape. While he was positive it was, as not only did Snape work on the formula, this version of Voldemort helped to make certain it was correct, he wanted to make sure.
“It will,” Severus assured him with an evil smirk on his face. “Not to worry there. The Dark Lord triple checked and did a test run with a few people. It will work for an hour and a half, no more. Unlike the debacle with Draco, it's certain to wear off in the allotted time. Which means, we have plenty of time to throw the biggest spanner in the world into whatever Albus is planning and cause chaos among the rest of the Order. We need to plan out how to go about this and questions to ask so it doesn't look like we're behind the mess when it starts.”
“Since Lucius won't be at the meeting, we need to do something to protect him from suspicion as well,” Remus chimed in, looking over the parchment he was holding. “Harry won't attend either, so them doing something together will probably be needed and seen.”
“Rather than go about it that way, suggest Harry and I join the meeting because of the bond. As it's known I can't betray you, it should suffice to allow me to sit in without suspicion,” Lucius suggested, smirking at this idea. “Albus may like it as it would be a way for him to 'persuade' me to change sides. We'll be with everyone, so it won't cast suspicion in our direction.”
“This was Harry's idea, so I think we should wiggle it around enough that he can watch the fallout,” Sirius grinned, reaching over to pat his godson on the back.
“I would like to see this pulled off,” Harry admitted with a chuckle as he continued to look through the properties Lucius thought they could use. Sirius told him to pick what he wanted of the several they narrowed it down to, so he was focusing on this while the others worked on the upcoming prank.
“We'll go with Lucius' suggestion,” Remus nodded. “The less suspicion we cast on any of us staying here, the better off we'll all be.”
“It also means we have more bodies to not only pay attention, but help divert suspicion,” Severus said, glancing around, still smirking.
“One of you send something off to Albus explaining they have to be with us during the meeting,” Sirius said, looking between Snape and Remus. “I'm sure you can come up with a way to word it that sounds good and believable. Just let us know what you come up with so we don't contradict anything.”
“Give us a day or so and we'll have a plausible reason for Albus,” Remus told him with a smile, mind already trying to come up with the most viable reason for the two to join the meeting. Between him and Severus, they'd come up with something Albus wouldn't question.
“I do want to make clear that once we do this, we need somewhere to go to,” Severus added, looking between the other three. “No sense in pulling a prank like this if we don't have an option for getting out.”
“I'm letting Harry pick out the house for us,” Sirius told him with a nod. “He has it narrowed down to a few and can have one picked today or tomorrow. Lucius says it'll only take a couple days to have our names put on the title, so we'll be ready.”
“Each house has its own staff of elves and they are always cleaned, so whatever he picks will be ready for us, other than minor additions we want to make,” Lucius assured all of them, looking around as he held Satyr and petted him. Lucifer was curled up in his lap, napping, as well.
“Good, just so we're ready,” Severus nodded. Then, looking at Potter, he arched a brow and added, “Make sure it's big enough so we have privacy and don't get on each other's nerves. It's a must, Mr. Potter.”
“Oh, all of these are plenty big,” Harry chuckled, leafing through what was there. He'd already narrowed it down between two, so he was just trying to pick from there. “They're all huge, actually.”
“I made certain to pick the properties which would house all of us very comfortably,” Lucius assured Severus with a flap of his hand. “The ones he has will actually be big enough we can easily avoid each other if the mood strikes. Even with the Dark Lord added in, it won't be a hardship, I assure you.”
“Have you narrowed down the choices?” Sirius asked Harry, leaning over to take a gander at what he was looking at. He honestly didn't care where they went, so he was leaving it up to Harry, assuming he'd have fun picking out the house and it would allow him to find something he really liked.
“I've narrowed it down to two of them,” Harry nodded, holding the papers out for Sirius to look at. “I have a question about Merlin's Rest, though.”
“What do you want to know?” Lucius asked, smirking, assuming Merlin's Rest would be seriously considered because of what it was.
“Does it really have a guard dragon?” Harry inquired, grinning as he did.
“It does,” Lucius told him with a nod, smirk growing. “It also has a moat and drawbridge. All the standard from tales of the past. While there are pictures of it there, I can tell you it's rather like a smaller version of Hogwarts, though still plenty huge.”
“A dragon?” Remus asked, both eyebrows going up, stunned. A glance at Severus showed a similar look on his face. “I'm not sure about anywhere which requires us to interact with a dragon.”
“We won't have to, you have my assurances,” Lucius told him with an amused snort, smirk still fully in place. “It's in a small cavern under the castle. Merlin's Rest is right by the sea on a cliff. It takes care of itself with the elves providing some food at times, nothing more. And it's not a full sized dragon, only about the size of a hippogriff. There has been a dragon at Merlin's Rest since it was built, so the tradition continues. From what I remember, it's a rather fat lazy creature which isn't disturbed by much and will barely open its eyes when humans are around. Perfectly safe.”
With a snicker, Sirius asked Harry, giving him a nudge, “We're taking the castle, aren't we?”
“I want the castle,” Harry admitted with a nod and huge grin. “Not only is it big enough with plenty of room to spare, it looks brilliant! Plenty of room for all we want and it already has a Quidditch pitch.”
“It's a wonderful choice, actually,” Lucius nodded, pulling one hand away from petting Satyr to make a note about sending off for the proper paperwork. “Not only is it as protected as Hogwarts, with it being Unplottable, there is the fact it's in a secure area, though close to a good sized town. We'll have all the room we need, it's been kept up wonderfully and the outside has plenty of amusements to keep us busy. I'm sure it's an abode we'll all adore.”
“This should be interesting,” Remus chuckled, shaking his head. “However, I do want to make it clear no staying in the dungeons, Severus. I do rather like natural light.”
“I've had enough of dungeons to last me a lifetime,” Severus admitted with a snort, though he was intrigued by the idea of living in a castle similar to Hogwarts. He was most curious about the layout and how it looked now.
“When we finish, I'll send the papers off for adding Harry and Black to the title then we'll pick a day to visit the castle. Once there, we'll decide what extras we want added and set the elves to decorating to our tastes,” Lucius told him, jotting down what he needed to remember. “Then we'll go from there. I do need to set them to start working on the pool and hot tub. It's a requirement, I think. And something for the animals.”
“Let us know what we need to do and we'll go from there,” Sirius nodded, taking the papers from Harry and looking over the ones of the house. With a chuckle, he then added, “This—yeah, it's pretty neat.” Then he passed the pictures over to Remus so he and Snape could take a look. “Should be plenty of room for all of us.”
“This does look rather nice,” Remus said, tone distracted as he looked over the pictures, making certain to hold them out so Severus could see them as well.
“Plenty of room for whatever, from what this shows,” Severus added, leaning in closer to take a gander. “Good pick, I think,” he then nodded.
“We'll get everything arranged and set up the best we can so it's ready for us,” Lucius told them with a pleased nod.
“Now, onto this muddle with the prank,” he said, smirking. “We need a basic rundown of what we're doing here so we know. The more we have in place, the better off we'll be. I say we have the elves deliver the teapot to Molly and let her take it from there. The less direct contact we have with everything, the better. No suspicion that way.”
“Good way to start,” Severus nodded, pleased to see Remus taking notes. Yes, they needed the plan in place as fast as they could manage to work on any spanners that may come up.

After tea, Lucius was seated outside by the pool, sipping a drink. As it was a nice night, he, Sirius and Harry had come out to relax while Severus and Remus did whatever. At the moment, the other two were in the pool horsing around and playing some kind of game. He didn't want to partake, of course, so he was just seated beside it waiting for them to finish. After they were done, they would retire to the hot tub to relax until bedtime, unless they found something else they wanted to indulge in.
Lucifer was in his lap, grooming himself at the moment, purring loudly. Satyr was hanging on the back of the chair with his head resting on his shoulder. From what he could tell, the sloth was sleeping and had fallen that way while chewing some leaves, some of which were still sticking out of his mouth. Harry had placed Vlad on his shoulder and the puffskein was still there, humming away. Lucius was content with this. The animals were soothing in their own way and relaxed him. Plus, he liked the companionship of them. Though not comfortable expressing emotions in a physical way, other than sexual, with people, the quiet affection of the animals was something he adored and could return. He wasn't sure why that was, but it was there and he went with it.
As he sat there, content, he watched the two in the pool. While he smirked a tad, amused by the horseplay and them dunking each other, he could feel a longing, some kind of pull, towards them. Though it was really the first time he realized he felt it, the truth was, he knew it was there because it was the bond. It had just manifested in other ways. As he was calm, he was sensing it for the first time. No, it wasn't bothering him or driving him to do something, such as join them, it was just there, nothing more. As the two were in a good mood and everything was peaceful, it just made him feel good. The feeling wasn't one he could describe, just a pleasant tingling sort of bit. He liked it, though, a lot. And, well, as expected from him, it was slightly arousing as well. He couldn't help himself when it came to those bits. It helped that he found them arousing to start with. The bond probably aided in the level.
While he watched them, his mind began to work on all he wanted to do and try with the two. Sirius was the main focal point there because of his dominant nature. Harry factored in, though. The innocence of the youngest of them was a huge draw, something he would admit to. The corrupting of it was a huge part of that. However, as he thought about all those delicious bits he wanted to partake in, the uncomfortable thought resurfaced of what he discussed with Sirius the night before and the visions of what could happen with Harry with him having no knowledge of what to do. Unable to help himself as the visions of the debacle it could become played out, Lucius let out a horrified shudder as he could too easily envision the pain. Backside clenching in protest, he fought off a whimper of horror as the vision continued to play out. No, he would not allow himself to end up drawn in then invoke that kind of pain on himself! He could, and would, keep himself under control then go about this the right way.
After convincing himself to keep his libido on a tight leash, Lucius picked up his drink with a trembling hand and downed half of it. He was sweating and slightly panicked over what he envisioned and vowed he wouldn't allow himself to give in to his baser desires and would go about this the right way. Yes, he would let Sirius take the lead and just follow. It was for the best and they could teach Harry what he needed to know without the fumbling and missteps which tended to come when left to your own devices without the knowledge you needed.
The trembling in his hands starting to lessen, he gave a sigh as he took another sip of his drink. While he still watched the two mucking about in the pool, he directed his thoughts in another direction, focusing on all they had to take care of before leaving this cursed house. Thoughts of the Lethifold also crept in as well. After all, as long as they were in the house, the creature was a threat. He and Severus once more needed to hunt for the creature to ensure they stayed safe until they were out. Well, and to make damned sure the evil beast didn't end up accidentally packed with their belongings and move to the castle with them. No, he couldn't allow that to happen! The elves would be schooled in keeping an eye out for the creature as they tended to matters.
While he focused there, he also made plans for the castle and decorations. Over the next couple of days, he would meet with everyone to get an idea for decorations and furnishings they wanted. It would give all of them something to focus on. Besides, he wanted this to be as pleasant as he could make it and the transition easy.

Sirius snickered as he watched Harry play with the cat. He had his wand out and conjured the red dot again. Like before, the cat was all over the place chasing it. Vlad was perched on his head humming the now familiar chase music. From what he could see, the two were having a good old time chasing the red light around the room, going up and over everything or climbing something to get to it. Of course, it was fine with him and he didn't care. As far as he was concerned, wearing the cat out was a good idea. Kept him from getting into trouble or causing havoc.
Lucius was seated at a small desk he had the elves move into the room, working on the paperwork for adding their names to the deed on the castle. While it was good there as he was focused on plenty of other bits besides being a pervert, Sirius was grinning at the fact Satyr was clinging to his back, sleeping, head resting on his shoulder. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on there, but the sloth seemed to have taken a liking to the great pervert. Oh well, it was good by him.
After flopping on the bed with a groan, Sirius shifted to a slightly sitting position then began to look through pictures of the castle Lucius had given him. As he gazed at them, pleased with what he saw and thinking Harry had made a good choice, he asked, “The charms for heat and keeping everything cool are functional, aren't they? If they haven't been checked in a while, you might want to have the elves make sure it's all in place. We don't want blindsided and not have them working when we need it. The same with checking the plumbing and for leaks.”
“They are, I think, but I'll have the elves double check,” Lucius said distractedly, making note of what Sirius said while smiling as Satyr hummed in his ear softly. Yes, he adored the sloth more with each passing day. He would ensure the sloth was well taken care of with all he needed to keep him happy. “My thought is to give Remus and Severus the second floor. It's enough room they'll be comfortable and have their privacy. We'll have the master suite of rooms on the third.”
“Should work,” Sirius nodded, thumbing through the pictures. “The downstairs—we're good there with plenty to do? It looks like there's a game room and other bits.”
“Plenty,” Lucius nodded, finishing the paper he was working on and turning around, rubbing the sloth on the head. “The dungeons are actually set up for more. There is a sauna down there with a few other rooms filled with games as well. It's quite self sustaining with plenty to do for amusements.” What he didn't mention was the elves were already hard at work turning an unused space down there into a room for his 'entertainment' items. While it wasn't in the cards now as they had too much to work on with so much, but in the future he was sure the two could be motivated in that direction. Either that or Sirius would end up irked enough to use them in some manner. Yes, he'd manage at some point. It would just take time.
“Only thing I ask for is carpet of some kind on the floors and to make sure the beds are in good shape,” Sirius told him distractedly as he lowered the pictures and snorted in amusement as Harry had the cat going all over the massive cat tree in its quest for the red dot.
“Rest assured, I'm not dealing with cold stone floors in the mornings either,” Lucius guaranteed him, amused by what Lucifer was doing. “Nice thick carpeting adorns the master suite and the beds are something the elves are replacing, as I have no idea how long it's been since they were used. Cleaning and sanitizing charms only go so far with this. I'm also having them set up a room for Lucifer to have his toys in. The same with Satyr. Though both will stay in with us for the most part.”
Again, Sirius snorted at what was said. Nothing said spoiled like the animals having their own rooms with whatever. It was fine with him, though and he nodded. “About the baths—there are showers or just tubs?” He wanted to make sure so he knew what he was dealing with.
“It has both,” Lucius assured him, feeding the sloth some fruit and smiling at the almost hug-like squeeze the creature gave him. “The baths are bigger than the ones in the Prefects washrooms at Hogwarts. The showers are quite large in size as well. I'll make double sure on the plumbing before we move as I refuse to subject myself to cold showers.”
He was about to elaborate when Lucifer startled him by jumping into his lap. With a smirk, he petted the cat and asked, tone the same kind you heard from people talking to little children, “Are you thirsty after your exercise?” Then he sent an elf off to get the cat a bowl of cream. Petting Lucifer, he then went back to describing the bathrooms.
When Harry flopped down by him, Sirius shook his head, grinning then muttered to his godson, “That cat is going to end up so spoiled!”
“True,” Harry chuckled, curling up to Sirius. “He already is,” he muttered, head resting on Sirius' shoulder. “Oh well, it's not a bad thing as it keeps him busy.”
“Busy is good,” Sirius agreed with a nod. “I'm damned sure that's part of his plan in this; ruling the house like a king. As long as he doesn't go all evil again, we're good.” Then he focused back on what Lucius was saying. He was also sure the cat was listening as well as he was damned certain the evil feline would adore having his own castle to have the run of. Oh well, he'd deal accordingly.
