Chapter 47

Beta'd by the amazing Tenchi. You're the best, woman, and thank you!

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.

Leaning back against the headboard of his bed, rubbing his gritty eyes in a tired way, Sirius asked Harry, “Did you lot get the mass of shite we sent? Remus went out before dawn today to get it off.”
“We did,” Harry confirmed with a nod, shifting around on his own bed, crossing his legs and getting comfortable. Eying his godfather, he observed, “You look like you're dead on your feet.”
“I am, I admit it,” Sirius sighed. “While it's good that this whole nightmare is kicking into high gear, its running me and Remus ragged. As we're staying here all the time and its Order headquarters, Albus has us doing all kinds of shite and keeping track of everything coming in on top of what we're 'assigned' to take care of. It should calm shortly as we get used to it and everyone settles in. Well, that and we get everyone in the Order and those in danger protected the best we can. That's taking up the bulk of the time at this point and has everyone scrambling to get things in place before all hell really breaks loose. It's something we have to get accomplished, obviously, like you lot have.”
“Completely understandable,” Harry agreed with a chuckle. “No problems with the post owl bit and anyone getting suspicious?”
“We're good on that front,” Sirius assured him. “We made the excuse of in case we need to send Albus something while he's at school, if it's not of vital importance. It wouldn't look odd for him to get owls, obviously. Remus picked out the fastest owl he could find for this just for that reason. When it comes to you lot, we're either going to send him off late at night or early in the morning so people don't think anything is off. If it's something that huge, we'll find a way to send him without anyone thinking something's wonky. This works great, obviously, better than us trying to get over there. At this point, we're not sure when we can manage that because of the chaos. It's safer to go about it this way.”
“It is,” Harry admitted. Shifting around with a groan, he asked, “Anything we really need to know about in that mess? Severus and Lucius wanted me to ask as they're occupied with something else.” Giving a grin, he added, “It's a big enough project I had yesterday off and probably will today as well.”
“Nothing that affects any part of this mess, just information. When they get time, just have them look through the bit on the Horcruxes and see what they think. Any hint we can get in that direction will be a huge help.” Stopping, he chuckled then added, “Days off are good! Gives you a chance to relax. What are they up to anyway?”
Harry gave him a quick rundown of the map and mirrors projects. When he finished, he said, “Lucius is doing well and thinks he has everything he needs, so he's going to start creating it today. It's Severus that's having problems finding what he requires. As he's really the only one of us that knows what he's looking for when it comes to that, we can't help.”
“When Remus and I get time, we'll see what we can dig up to help. It might not be a bad idea for us to create something like that anyway for the park. That way we can keep an eye on what's going on there. Others could use the things as well, like Molly and Arthur.” Sirius told him, sounding slightly distracted as he thought about it. Stopping, he pondered it then said, “Tell Snape to keep looking, but we'll put a bug in the old man's ear about the idea to see what he can give us or where to point us to find the charms. It can help everyone.”
“I'll do that,” Harry nodded. “He'll probably like the idea of some assistance, actually, since he's not finding what he needs and he can't go out to get other books.”
“We'll come up with something to help,” Sirius assured him. Groaning loudly then giving a bone cracking yawn, he said, “As soon as we're done here, I'm getting some damned sleep. No one better bother me either, unless it's an emergency.” Hearing Harry chuckle, he added, “There is something I want you to pass along that isn't in that mess we sent you and it's a bit that helps all of you. Albus is being pulled in so many directions right now, and is having to concentrate on the start of term, that he's having to prioritize. That means the parts that put us in the most danger come first; protections for everyone, the Horcrux hunt and preparing for Armageddon. While he's still going to have people looking for clues when it comes to where you are, it's behind everything else. He heard about the 'evidence' we dropped and that it's confirmed it's your handwriting, so he's taking it as real. There's an obvious train of thought it was something coerced, but he's convinced it's authentic as the DMLE are as well.”
“Something that finally helps!” Harry laughed, shaking his head. Sobering up, he said, “When you get time and aren't tired, I want to get some advice on part of this mess.”
“What part?” Sirius asked, curious.
“Protecting Severus and Lucius when it's over,” Harry told him. Giving him a rundown of some of what they'd talked about, he added, “If we don't come up with something, they'll end up in real trouble. I'll make sure I'm on their side and be loud about it, but we all know everyone can pull out brainwashing or something. They've said not to worry, but I am.”
“I'll think it over when my brain is fully functional, but you're right. It is something we need to plan for. I'm sure Lucius will make damned sure they have the best solicitors money can buy, which will help, but we need something in place before then. Let me get some sleep and I'll ponder it while tending to so much of this other bullshite,” Sirius told him with a tired groan.
“That's fine. We have plenty of time, from the sound of it. Get some sleep if there isn't any more you need to cover with me.” Harry told him with a soft chuckle.
“That I'm going to do,” Sirius laughed.
After saying goodbye and cutting off the connection with the mirror, Harry put it up so it didn't get broken. Sitting there, he looked out the balcony doors and sighed softly. It was raining. Not a hard rain, but more than a drizzle, something fairly steady. Shaking his head, he was feeling a bit tired himself and didn't want to go outside to deal with it, even though he could use the spells to keep himself dry, so he decided he might go back to sleep. Rainy days always made him feel tired anyway. Since he didn't have anything to do, really, he might as well indulge.

Settling into the chair in the small parlor he liked to use when he wanted to be alone, Severus groaned softly. This was good. He needed to start researching again, but wanted to just relax for a time. It was preferable that they kept busy, of course, as that would hold off all of them going barmy, but you needed a break here and there from it. Right now was his.
Shutting his eyes, he leaned his head back. He had just come from checking on Harry. It wasn't that they were overly concerned about him, knowing he wouldn't pull something foolish, it was just odd that he hadn't come down from his room since breakfast, nothing more than that. As Harry was asleep, he wasn't going to concern himself with it. Let him rest. It would probably do him good. The rain seemed to make everyone tired, even him. He wanted to take a nap himself, honestly. Shaking his head, he opened his eyes and summoned an elf. Yes, a nap was in order. Sending the creature off with a message for Lucius that he was indulging, Severus stood with a groan then made his way to his own room.
After stripping down to his underclothes, Severus slid between the cool sheets with a sigh and curled up. This was good. The soft patter of the rain on the windows and balcony made a wonderful soundtrack to fall asleep to. However, he wasn't going to guarantee that would happen either. The last few nights, despite how tired he was, he couldn't manage that well. It was brought on by guilt, something he recognized as he had dealt with it plenty over the years when it came to so much.
Over the years, since that abominable choice he made so long ago, he had dealt with plenty of guilt over many things. He managed it, of course, but did feel remorse. Since the change of tracks with his and Lucius' choice to protect Harry, doing all they could to keep him safe from both sides of this ever growing nightmare, that had subsided. Until the erotic dreams, that is. Bloody hell, that brought it back full force and actually made it worse! The mere thought that he was having those dreams about Lily's son had him cringing all over the place and was resulting in daily mental floggings. It didn't work, though. They kept coming. In fact, they were getting worse! That helped nothing.
Sighing, he shifted. Trying to get as comfortable as he could, while he thought about Harry. The attraction—he was beginning to think he understood it, parts of it anyway, beyond what he already sussed out. It was physical, of course, at least part of it, but the other part was he found he liked Harry, a great deal. More than he ever thought he would. Behavior in the past that he had attributed to other things, he now understood and realized he saw what he wanted to see, not what was really there. The Harry he now knew was someone that wasn't stupid, a fool or the many other adjectives that he had attributed to him over the years. In fact, he was quite intelligent, though not always quick on the uptake when it came to some parts. He was willing to listen and ask questions if he didn't understand something. He generally helped him and Lucius in many ways, something he didn't think would happen. Harry just needed worked with in a different way when it came to plenty. He also realized that not only was he at fault for parts of his issues in Potions, but so were plenty of others it seemed. Harry wouldn't be at the top of his class, of course, but he was quite good if you worked with and explained areas to him. All he needed was someone willing to answer questions for him, something he had never done in class. It probably also helped that he was more relaxed and comfortable with how they were going about teaching him.
As expected, Harry's strong suit was defense. He was damned good and it would only take some teaching and experience for him to get to where he and Lucius were in that area. That they were encouraging for a multitude of reasons. If they played all this right, Harry wouldn't have to worry about defending himself against the Dark Lord and his followers, but he needed to know what to do anyway.
Stopping that train of thought, he groaned. Reaching up, he rubbed his eyes with a now trembling hand. He could feel the flesh below the waist begin to rise at the mere thought of Harry. Envisioning those eyes, he shivered. They were part of it. He could trick himself into thinking it was a carryover from his attraction to Lily, but that would be another self-delusion. It wasn't Lily he saw in Harry, it was Harry himself he found not only highly arousing, but was attracted to. And it was more than those eyes that drew him. It was Harry himself that he adored. Very few in this world treated him the way Harry did or even talked to him with the ease Lily's son managed. He didn't allow that. Though it started out for a specific reason when it came to him and Lucius, it evolved into something he adored in the same way he loved his easy friendship with Lucius. Harry was a friend, one he liked. The younger man's age didn't factor into that as it meant nothing because of what was there. The rest, such as that tall, lanky body and deep voice, something that was like warm chocolate sliding down your skin, making it not only prickle but heat up. It was Harry himself and if that didn't make the guilt worse, Severus didn't know what else ever would.
Lying there, he watched the memories of Harry in his swim trunks play out, flesh rising completely and starting to throb at visuals from them. Of course, as would be expected, those memories shifted into the fantasies that were now plaguing him as he slept. He wanted them to happen, all there was to it, and was helpless to stop what he was envisioning. Though he knew this would make the guilt he was dealing with worse, Severus slipped his hand into his boxers then began to stroke his flesh. Up to this point, he hadn't allowed himself to take this step as he knew it would make what was there worse, but he couldn't help it.
Rolling over onto his back, he pulled his hand out then pushed his drawers down then began to stroke his hard flesh, envisioning what he wanted to do with and to Harry while his hand worked on his cock. Panting heavily, it only took a couple minutes for the act to compete, the result splattering his stomach. Eyes shut as the visions of what he imagined during the short fantasy still playing out, Severus felt the guilt grow. This helped nothing and he knew it, but he adored them. Merlin help him, he did. And that would just make this all the worse.
Cleaning up, he curled back up on his side, not bothering to put his boxers back on. He shivered as he thought about the step he had just taken. There was now no going back and he didn't want to ponder how this was now going to affect him. And he only had himself to blame for it.

Draped over Lucius' shoulders, Kaliya chuckled as he watched the man working on the huge piece of parchment. Lucius was putting together the map they had discussed. “Is it working?” The snake asked, intrigued by the spells and what they were doing.
“Quite well, actually,” Lucius told him smugly, pleased with how well this was going. “I should have it completed in a few hours. Then I can duplicate it and we can all keep an eye on the perimeter when we aren't outside.”
“You did very well with this. It's highly impressive work, Lucius,” the snake told him honestly. “I'm always amazed what you wizards can do with your magic and how you can make it work to fit what you need.”
“Thank you,” Lucius told the snake. Continuing to work with the spells that still needed to go on the map, he added, “It just takes time and work to get bits where we want them to go, nothing more. It'll be the same with those mirrors. Severus just has to find the right ones.”
“Those will be quite impressive as well,” the snake admitted, shifting around on Lucius' shoulders. Nagini was curled up by them on the small settee, sleeping. Severus and Harry were both still upstairs sleeping. Chuckling, he said, “I believe this is the first time you've been alone for an extended period since I've come to stay here. Usually either Harry or Severus is with you.”
“That is an odd feeling,” Lucius admitted with a soft, amused snort. “Other than when we retire for the night, one of us generally has company. Can't say I'm complaining, as time alone always helps one to relax and think.”
Understanding that, Kaliya said nothing. As he lay there, he thought over the conversation with Harry the day before. He wouldn't reveal what was said that Harry wanted kept between them, of course, but he was curious about Lucius' leanings on the matter. It was just something he had no experience with so he couldn't draw on that to help him. Deciding to see if he couldn't poke a little to possibly get Lucius talking, he said, glancing out the window, “The rain doesn't seem like it's letting up. That's too bad. Harry likes to spend time out in the pool and lying by it. I do understand that you wizards can make sure not to get wet from it and it doesn't bother you, but it's not the same as enjoying the sun and heat.”
“No, it's not,” Lucius admitted with a sigh. “I believe all of us like indulging in that, to be honest. It's soothing and feels good as the summers are far too short. It’s something I’m sure we’ll all miss, for various reasons. We’ll be getting more of this type of weather now as we move into autumn, unfortunately.”
“Such as having Harry sleep with his head on your thigh?” Kaliya asked, chuckling softly. “I do believe that's something you both enjoy, Lucius.”
“While I'm not one to indulge in such things, I admit to that,” Lucius told him honestly, smirking slightly. That was something he would miss, despite the dreams it set off.
“He enjoys it as well,” Kaliya chuckled. “He told me just yesterday that he finds it more difficult to fall asleep outside when his head isn't on your thigh.” Then he waited to see what was said.
“We both get something out of it then. Good,” Lucius told him, reaching up to stroke the snakes head. He liked that, though, and it made him wonder what was behind that feeling in Harry. He did want to know, obviously, but had no way to find out without coming out and asking, something he wouldn't do because he would then have to explain why he was inquiring. That—no. He would leave it alone unless Harry said something that danced close to the topic.
Seeing the pleased look on Lucius' face, the snake decided it was time to get with Nagini to figure out if there was an attraction on Lucius' end as well. If there was, he would then figure out Severus' standing on the matter before he would set his mind on what to do about it. Pressing on, he began to ask what they would do with themselves once the weather did turn cooler. Obviously, they had spells so they could partake in their normal activities, but it would curtail some of them.

After listening to what Kaliya asked and him explaining the why behind it, Nagini assured him, “Let me see what I can find out. I'll pay closer attention to some of his mannerisms when he's around Harry.” At the moment, the two were doing what they promised; making a trek around the perimeter of the property to keep an eye on anything that might be off. “I do like the idea, Kaliya. If there is an attraction, they would make each other quite happy.”
“Oh, I do agree,” Kaliya told her. “While you do that, I'm going to see what Severus' leanings are on the matter. That I'm not sure of and whether I can find out. I don't want him reacting badly if there is something there.”
“It would be nice if there was an attraction between the three,” Nagini observed. “They all deserve to find someone they are happy with, after all.” Slithering along, seeing and sensing nothing off, she asked, “Is there a way to figure it out through that bond all of you share? I'm not sure about what it can do as I wasn't around when you created it.”
“Let me think on that,” Kaliya told her. That wasn't something he had thought of, but it might be a tool to help figure it out. If it was there, it might explain the strength of that bond and allow it to be used for other areas, something that could only help all of them.
“What if there is an attraction? If there is, I'm not sure any of them may act on it. At least they haven't until now and they've been here for quite some time.” Nagini asked, curious about that.
“I think, if there is, we might be able to nudge them in the right direction. Or at least try to. That's another thing we'll have to judge once we figure out if it's there. Of all of this, that bit might be the easiest to accomplish and I'm sure I can use the bond to help it.” Kaliya told her, tone thoughtful. “Yes, we need to figure this out quickly. If it is there, we have to plan how to go about this. That will be tricky as we don't want them angry with us for meddling in their affairs.”
“Very true. That's not something I thought of,” Nagini sighed.
“We'll manage, never fear,” Kaliya assured her. “We just need to figure out if it's there or not to start planning what do.” And that he vowed to himself to do, as fast as he could. Yes, his men deserved happiness. If they made each other happy, that was perfect and he could probably push the matter without manipulating anything.
