Chapter 40

Beta'd by the most wonderful, amazing and stupendous Tenchi. Woman, you are the best and love you for all you do for me!

With help from Lynn who works with me when it comes to flow, continuity and other issues.

Just a reminder of what's on my profile: reviews complaining or whinging about the lack 'o sex in stories will get deleted. If you want a smut-filled romp, you need to find another story to read.

“While I was dubious about the fish tank in here, I agree that it makes a fine addition to the room,” Severus told Remus after taking a cup of tea from an elf and getting comfortable on the bench at the table. After a glance around, he was pleased at what he saw. Not only was the kitchen cleaned within an inch of its life and looking brand new, Lupin had put up the Harry House plaque, as well as a sign-up sheet for those wanting to help Harry with the schoolwork. He had also taken it upon himself to have a smallish cabinet moved in. As it was open, he could see it contained Harry's school books and the other needed supplies for teaching. Good.
“It's actually quite soothing to watch them,” Remus admitted, sprinkling fish food in it. Once he dusted his hands off, he walked over and took a seat across the table from Severus. “I also had Kreacher clean out one of the cabinets so we can store some of the games in here. My thought was that we'll spend time here playing them, so no sense in running up and down all those stairs to retrieve the blasted things.”
“Another good idea,” Severus nodded. Once more, he was pleased with Lupin's organizational skills and how he tended to matters, even coming up with areas that would help remove stress. They needed that. While the two of them were working on plenty to make sure as much was in place as they could get, Lupin was thinking ahead, something that would aid in many areas.
“Is there a reason you came back over, or just to check?” Remus asked, not sure. Severus was spending plenty of time with them for various reasons, but he assumed the man would want some time to just relax before the term kicked off. Before Severus could ask, he added, “Harry and Sirius are spending the afternoon alone. We won't see them until tea time.”
“While I do need to talk to both of them, it can wait until they come down for the meal. Until then, I'll fill you in on something to expect and that you may have to take on diverting, depending on what's going on with Harry.” Severus sighed then lifted his wand and put up the standard privacy ward. He then went on to explain what was said when it came to Albus.
Once he finished, seeing a concerned look, he added, “I'll go over everything with the two of them when they come down. Before I came over, I talked to Lucius. He's going to take on part and see what he can manage to find for us. It may involve Harry contacting his solicitor, but that won't be a hardship. The bombardment will, though, depending on what kind of day Harry is having. While I wish I could have done something to stop it, I was left with little choice. Of all the scenarios I could think of at the time, this was the easiest I could come up with. We do not want that old man coming up with some kind of scheme to 'help'.”
“No, we don't,” Remus admitted with a shake of his head. “I'll run interference with those that come in if Harry isn't up to dealing with them or he and Sirius are spending the day alone. Nothing to worry about, I'll manage without them getting suspicious.”
“It may be a good idea for Harry to get used to a few of them,” Severus suggested. “We know the ones that won't cause issues. With me going back to school soon, you'll need more than just yourself and Black for some areas, such as going out. They're the ones you might want to guide Harry towards getting used to. While I don't agree with much of what Albus says anymore, I do agree that Harry is in more danger than any of us realize, so he needs protection. To do that, we need more than just the three of us.”
Once he thought that over, Remus nodded. “Bill should be fine. Harry already knows him, at least a little, so there's a foundation to build on. With him being back in the country, we can use him for plenty. Alastor is a maybe. Though—odd, he can help. Tonks--,” Remus was stopped there by Severus.
“She is out,” Severus snorted, shaking his head. “Not only is there that bit from the other day, she's one that I don't think Harry will get along with. Her or Kingsley after what he heard of Molly's rant. I would suggest ones that weren't involved in such matters.”
“Very true,” Remus sighed, not having thought about that. “We'll sit down with Harry and Sirius then talk it out and see what they think. Either that or let them weed themselves out as time goes along.”
“Good plan,” Severus nodded, planning to table much of this until Harry and Black came down. Changing topics, he asked, “What have you managed on the organizational issue when it comes to the school work? I see you've done it physically, which is good.”
“While Narcissa and Lucius are taking on the bulk of Runes and Arithmancy, I put on the sign-up sheet it's an area we need people to help with. Sirius and I can tackle it, but we'd be better off with ones that did take the subject in school. I also added other needed areas, such as overseeing Potions. Again, more because some have a fresher knowledge than we do.” Remus explained, summoning the schedule they had been working on. Once he passed it to Severus, he began explaining what he had in place on how to handle so much and keep within the confines of the guidelines they had to work with. He was sure this would still need some tweaking, of course, but the basics were down.

As Harry put the wooden dragon figurine on the green base that the castle they had been working on since they got the Legos was on, Sirius grinned. It was done, finally. Well, mostly. There were a couple tweaks he wanted to perform on it so it looked more realistic. Once it was all in place how they both wanted it, he raised his wand then changed the color of the bricks to a more realistic one, something that made them look like the stones that made up normal castles. And it was completely done.
“This turned out great!” He grinned, giving Harry a squeeze. His godson was seated on his lap and they were on the floor of the playroom.
“It is,” Harry agreed with a grin of his own and a nod. “We did it!”
“We did!” Sirius told him with a grin as he made sure everything was anchored down the best he could manage. After finishing that, he sent the castle over to the place they had cleared off for it. Holding Harry close once he got it settled, he kissed him on the shoulder. “I say when we lay down tonight, we go through the books and see what we're taking on next. The rest of the afternoon we'll sort through what we bought and have some fun with all the new toys.” Then he glanced at the art supplies and grinned, “We can have fun with the modeling clay goop you picked out for a while. It's something we should have a riot with!”
“I always liked that kind of stuff,” Harry chuckled, envisioning all he could do with the modeling clay. Even Dudley wasn't allowed to have it or other similar items because of the mess they made. The same with paints and such. Aunt Petunia couldn't handle such bits.
With a pat on his arse, Sirius had Harry stand then they moved over to the small table they had set up for playing. Once Harry was seated on his lap again, he summoned the modeling clay stuff then they settled in to muck about with it. While art wasn't his area, he knew a few spells that would help, such as ones to give basic shapes for what you were going for. It was a tiny help, but you did most of the work yourself.
Since the two of them hadn't done this much before, other than when they were small, they decided to attempt something easy for the first time; a plain rabbit. As Harry started working on the basic shape, seeming to enjoy himself as he did, Sirius smiled and just held him. Chin resting on Harry's shoulder, Sirius figured this was a good time to launch in to what they planned for. After all, the two of them were fairly relaxed and he doubted it would stress either of them much. While the goal was to press forward, he wasn't sure how long the two of them could manage this and stay in their roles.
“I was thinking about what we talked about when it comes to the phrase for me to slip out of the Daddy role,” he said softly as Harry worked on the basic shape of the rabbit.
“What about it?” Harry asked, glancing over his shoulder at Sirius. He knew they were going to try working on that today, of course, so he figured this was a precursor to doing something with it.
“My thought was that you use the same phrase, 'time out', if you have to slip out as well,” Sirius explained, starting to help shape the ears of the rabbit. “It won't be the same as the safeword, but will tell me there is something we need to talk over. Does that work?”
“It does,” Harry nodded.
“I'm sure, when we start, that both of us will have to use that bit, even if it's to get a laughing fit under control,” Sirius snickered, watching as Harry worked. Though you could tell he didn't have much experience working with the stuff, he seemed like he was having fun with what he was doing. Good. As Harry was busy and not as stressed, he decided to bring up another idea he read in that book. “Before we jump off, I had another thought to work on.” As Harry looked over his shoulder at him again, he pressed on, “Maybe have more of a 'little boy' voice when you slip into the role. The times we've played at it, you keep your normal one. I'm sure that'll throw both of us off if you keep it. I don't mean the full on bit, at least right now, but try to change your voice a bit.” As Harry's voice hadn't fully deepened yet, it did help some, so Sirius thought he might manage to make it a little more child-like.
“You mean in how it sounds, right?” Harry asked, brow furrowed as he leaned back against Sirius. “Not necessarily the words yet? Because I'm still not used to most of those.”
“Not the words yet,” Sirius assured him. “Those we'll work on as we go along. Well, other than some of your more colorful language,” he added with a snicker.
“That—yeah, no naughty words, as Daddy Lucius puts it,” Harry snickered, grinning a tad. “You keep teaching me new ones, though!”
“I'm a bad influence, I admit it,” Sirius laughed, giving him a squeeze with one arm. “Is it something you think you can try with?”
“I've not been around little kids much, other than when I was one,” Harry sighed. “So, I'm not entirely sure how to go about it. The only thing I've noticed, from ones I've seen on the telly is that they sound like an adult on helium or something. I can try, though. Let me see what I can do.”
“That's a damned good description of the voice,” Sirius laughed, shoulders shaking a bit. “Even just like softening it a bit or changing slightly would help so we can stay in the roles. Any kind of change, besides attempting to deepen it, that is.”
“I'll try, that's all I can promise,” Harry told him, wondering how to go about doing what Sirius asked. It wasn't something he had done before, so he wasn't sure how.
“Nothing to worry about if you don't get it right off the bat. It might take some practice, just like other bits are,” Sirius assured him. “Well, and I'm sure both of us will have at least one laughing fit over it.”
“I know I will,” Harry chuckled, grinning as he did. Though he wasn't sure how well he could pull this off, he was going to try because he liked the idea, a lot. It was something he wanted and seemed to slide him more into the role he still did really crave. Oh, there was plenty more to it than these bits, but it was pressing it forward.
“And try to use more child-like words for some normal bits. Like potty for the loo and stuff like that. Those will take getting used to, I get it, but we can try,” Sirius added as he held the rabbit's ear while Harry worked.
“I'll give it a shot,” Harry nodded, trying to keep that in mind.
“When it comes to those, I'll help all I can,” Sirius assured him. “Just follow my lead in some others and I'm sure we'll get through it together.” Once he saw Harry nod, pleased he wasn't overly stressed, he asked, voice soft, “Who am I, Harry?” With that simple question, his heart was pounding a little faster than normal as this was the first time, other than with sex, they would work on this whole bit. He adored the idea, but was a tad uptight over it.
“Daddy,” Harry muttered, voice slightly uneven. Shivering a little, though not from fear, but excitement, he waited, trying to work on the rabbit.
“That's right, I'm Daddy. And you're my good little boy,” Sirius told him gently, keeping an eye on what they were working on. After giving Harry a kiss on the temple, he said, “I think we're going to play most of the afternoon. Daddy is going to let you pick what we're doing, too. Anything you want. It'll just be you and me unless there's an emergency of some kind. We need to finish the bunny, first. You're doing great with it.”
“Okay, Daddy,” Harry nodded, struggling a little to make his voice sound more like a kid's.
Not really sure where to go from here, Sirius thought it over then decided some easy bits were the way to go. It would ease them both into the roles. As he rested his chin on Harry's shoulder again, watching him work, he said, “I think we need to work on some of the names you call bits while you work. What do you think? That way we can both get used to them.”
That didn't sound too hard or stressful, so Harry nodded. “What names?” He asked, focusing on trying to make his voice sound more like a kids. While he wasn't sure how that was going, it was changing a tad at least.
“Just some basics for like your body parts,” Sirius told him, holding him close. Then he reached down and gave Harry's arse a rub. “Daddy Lucius called this your bottom when he spent the night. I think that's a good name we should stick to, don't you? Either that or something like bum. One of those two.” After giving a snort and grin, he added, “Those might be best as they won't give either of us laughing fits to hear or say.”
Harry nodded and grinned himself before saying, still focusing on the voice bit, “Those are good names I can remember.”
“So can I, which helps,” Sirius admitted. He then let his hand drift around to Harry's crotch. As he rubbed it softly, he asked, “What name do you think we should use for this?” There had been plenty in the book, of course, and Lucius had sent some others along, but he wanted something Harry was comfortable with, hoping like hell that he could pick one that wouldn't set both of them off into laughing fits.
Head dropping down, brow furrowing, Harry tried to think. Most of the names he remembered from the book and other places were ones that he didn't think he could say without having a massive laughing fit. Which didn't leave much he thought he could use. As his mind worked over the words, he gave a mental shake of his head then blurted out the only name he could make up, “Little boy part.”
Though that name gave Sirius a grin, he nodded. “That's a good name.” At least it wasn't one that made him want to laugh his arse off. It also gave him a good compatible name for his end. “And we'll call mine the Daddy part. That should be easy enough, don't you think?”
“It should,” Harry agreed with a nod, relieved that wasn't more stressful than it was. They were also names that he could easily remember.
As he went back to helping with the bunny, he said, switching topics so Harry didn't end up too overly stressed, “I think when we finish the bunny we'll let it dry out then you can paint it so you can use it as a decoration. There are spells to dry out clay, but you still have to let it sit to finish.”
Though he was fairly certain this wasn't going to turn out as some masterful piece of artwork, Harry liked the idea and nodded. “I'd like that,” he admitted. If they went about it that way, he would get to use the paints as well. That would be fun.
“We'll do that,” Sirius grinned. “Daddy would very much like having some bits you've done around.” As he watched Harry work, only helping when needed, he began talking about other topics as well, ones not stressful. There were others he had to bring up here and there, but Harry was calm and he wanted him to stay that way. While this whole bit wasn't sexual in the way that other parts they had done were, he found it quite enjoyable, just in another way was all. Good. It meant they could keep pressing on.

By the time they were having supper, Sirius was pleased. They had spent the afternoon playing with the toys without too much undue stress over it on either of their parts. In fact, it went quite smoothly. Oh, there were a couple huge laughing fits over a few bits that they had worked on, but that wasn't stressful either, just some added humor that seemed to ease whatever stress there was. By the end, both of them had been quite comfortable with the roles and slipping into them. For Sirius, that meant he could press on with it more even when they weren't in Harry's room. He was also happy that he managed to get Harry to suck on his thumb again for a while. That had been the worst part of the whole bit, but they had managed with less stress than the last time. Good. It meant that he had something else in place that might help as Harry admitted it was something that seemed to assist him. He would just keep pressing forward with it until Harry was comfortable enough, that's all.
Now seated at the kitchen table, eating, he and Harry were listening to what Snape had to say. When the man finished, Sirius sighed, “We'll deal accordingly with whoever comes around, don't worry. Remus can send us a signal if someone does show up so we come down. If we stay hidden, people are going to speculate. We don't want that.”
“Good plan,” Severus admitted with a nod. Then he focused on Harry. “Do you mind if the rest sit in on the talk we're going to have? And the sharing of the memories? This could end up a huge assist and make it to where we are all on the same page.”
“I don't have a problem with it,” Harry told him truthfully. It was easy to understand why Lucius wanted to go about it this way, so he could handle it.
“Set it up for a late night when Lucius can stay as long as needed,” Sirius told the man with a nod. Then, thinking it over, he added, “And you might want to see if Cissy can join as well. I get this isn't her area and she's not as up to speed as the rest of us, but she can sometimes catch on to bits we don't because of that.”
“Good suggestion that I'll pass along as well. I'll pop over tomorrow and see what we can arrange. I say we do this as fast as we can manage so we're all up to speed and can keep a cautious eye out for whatever that old man is trying.” Severus told them looking around.
“Do that,” Sirius agreed. “We all need to get caught up with what Lucius is doing and anything Harry might need to take care of with his solicitor anyway. That shouldn't be hard.” After shoving his now empty plate away, he slipped an arm around Harry and pulled him close as his godson sipped at his butterbeer.
After observing that everyone else was done, Sirius grinned. “What do you say we grab one of those card games we picked up and have some fun? Between the four of us, it should be a good time,” he suggested.
“I think that's a wonderful idea,” Remus smiled, sending all their plates to the sink and the leftovers to be put up.
“Uno is a good one to start with,” Severus added, smirking a tad. This would be fun.
As he summoned the card game mentioned, Sirius had Harry and Snape explain the basics of the game to them so they could at least get a feel for what to do. As it was, this sounded like fun and they would probably have a great time with it.

After dimming the light on the fish tank to something that wouldn't bother the two of them, Sirius curled up to the now sleeping Harry's backside, arm slipping over his waist. This was great. The night had been a riot with playing the card game then the two of them came up and mucked around some more. Harry had come up with the brilliant idea of making a Lego Quidditch field for the fish tank. Oh, it wasn't done yet, but it wouldn't take much more then they were going to put it in with the fish. That had been a lot of fun. After that, they had crawled into the tub, soaked a while then went to bed.
While they lay there, just before going to sleep, he had managed to persuade Harry to suck on his thumb for a time once more. This time had been far easier and Harry had actually started dozing off while doing so. Just perfect. It meant he might have something more in place to help with what they were all sure was coming. Even before that, after he put the bars up, he had Harry slip back in the role they had worked on all day. It had come much easier this time, for both of them.
This wasn't the best way for Harry to deal with what he was, but it was all they had for the moment, so if it worked, he was going with it. Later on, he would see about doing it the 'right way', but that wasn't possible now. So, he would go about it the only way they had and hoped it helped with the hell he knew was coming.
With a tired sigh, he shut his eyes and held Harry close. Nightmares were coming again, he was certain of that, but he would deal and press on. What he was doing was working, so he would use that until they came up with something else. It was the only thing he could do. Well, that and mentally swear at all the people that had caused this. Revenge would come at some point, he just had to wait for it.
