In the middle of nowhere in the British countryside, stood a vast manor. A manor that was ostentatious on all accounts, due to the manor being built with what looks like, at a glance, marble. The manor was designed to, simply put, impress and intimidate. With grand golden, swirling runes carved beautifully into the stone of the building. The black and white marble contrasting with the gold of the runes was simply marvellous. But what made it truly breathtaking, was the Slytherin Crest that also adorned the building, also carved into the stone, instead of simply hung on extremely strong nails like most pureblooded families do. All across the front of the stately manor, were huge windows, which gave the impression that no room inside went untouched by sun or moon light. All muggles who gazed upon the manor were convinced that it must be a home away from home for the British Royals, but to all witches and wizards, they knew for a fact that Royalty did indeed reside there. Wizarding Royalty.
In the quiet of the countryside, out of nowhere, five cloaked people appeared a scant few feet from the steps that led to a set of ornate oak doors that opened into an even grander entrance hall. The group of five just stood looking up at such a masterpiece for only a few moments, basking in the opulence. Once they had stood looking long enough that was proper, the person stood in the middle waved his hand to the two stood on his left, and they immediately strode off in opposite directions to stroll the grounds in a calm and sedate manner. Although anyone with a decent set of eyes could tell that they were on their guard, and were clearly patrolling to check for intruders. Once they were on the move, the two on the other side of the person - who was clearly important and in charge going by the expensive looking robes he wore - moved so that they were bracketing the wealthy wizard. For that's what they must be, as no muggle had the power to appear out of nowhere.
The three remaining wizards made their way to the doors, which opened themselves upon them reaching the top of the steps, as the magic surrounding the estate recognised one of its masters, as the wizard in the middle was none other than Harry Potter. Once inside, and with the doors firmly sealed behind them, Harry made his way down the vast hallways of his father's manor, inpatient to see Severus. He had Fred and George Prewett, formally Weasley, on either side of him acting as bodyguards following not too far behind in order to give Harry any space he needed for his thoughts.
As they strode down corridor after corridor, they passed many portraits, until they came upon Harry's favourite. He smirked at he stopped and turned to face the portrait that was currently housing two people. two people who, unsurprisingly, were arguing. Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were stood facing each other, scowls and sneers in place as they insulted and argued with one another. Harry stood patiently as he waited to the men in the portrait to notice that they had an audience. A few minutes later, Godric growled loudly at Salazar and turned his back on him.
"You can just shut up Salazar Aelius Slytherin! If you think that I will ever let you touch me intimately ever again after what you just said, then you can just go and shove your-" Godric cut himself off abruptly, causing Salazar to turn to see what had caught his eye. Harry chuckled at the blushes that blossomed across their faces.
"Enjoy tearing each other to pieces again?" He grinned, laughing outright when Salazar just smirked back and Godric huffed.
"Well if Salazar wasn't such a dunderhead, then I would have no need to engage in these silly little squabbles, therefore I also would have no need to tear into him at all." He replied, glaring at said dunderhead over his shoulder. Salazar's eyes narrowed and nostrils flared at his companions words.
"My dear Godric, I thank you to never call me such a word again! I find it highly degrading for the accused, and extremely derogative for the accuser to use. If you are not careful, I shall wash your mouth out, then take you over my knee until you learn." Salazar drawled, other than the tiniest hint of steel in his voice, he sounded rather bored, as usual. Harry grimaced, that was information that I could have done without...
"Guys, what was your argument actually about?" He hurried to ask, as he saw Godric gearing up to respond. At Harry's inquiry, Salazar grinned smugly at Godric, who just growled right back at him again. At this moment in time, Harry thinks that patience seems to be something that had to be bestowed onto a person by Merlin himself.
"Salazar here seems to think that his heirs are better than mine, and can do no wrong!" Godric announced, sounding completely scandalised. "When it is clear to all that my heirs are far better. For miles!"
Harry just stood there, staring, as a sharp hiss sounded in response to Godric's statement. He couldn't believe that this is what they've been arguing about, for the past to weeks, if the house-elves gossip was to be believed. And with the Slytherin house-elves being as tenacious as they were, they were mostly likely right, as nothing in this manor could happen without them knowing. He ignored the sniggering coming from the twins behind him, and prepared himself in case the two Hogwarts Founders were unable to be placated.
"GUYS! I think you'll find that all of your heirs are the best, minus a few crackpots down the line, as you share descendants. The only children you two had were with each other, so i this that this argument is moot really." Harry could see that they had heard him, as he stood there watching the sneers of anger and frustration melt from their faces, to be left with fond and loving looks exchanged between both of his ancestors. Harry and the twins started to slowly and quietly back away from the portrait and down the hall, just as Godric and Salazar reached for each others hand.
As they moved further away from the corridor full of portraits, multiple thoughts flitted through Harry's head. He wondered what Severus was up to. Was he at Hogwarts brewing potions for Madam Pomfrey, or was at Spinner's End relaxing with this months issue of Potion's Masters Journal? Thoughts of Severus came to a shuddering halt when he remembered tonight's scheduled family dinner.
"Fuck." He swore, speeding up to a jog, and ducking through a few shortcuts in his haste to get to the family dinning room. He skidded to a halt in front of the doors to the dinning room just three minutes later. As he stopped to calm his breathing so he didn't look like he'd just ran halfway across the manor in only three minutes, the twins each reached out to hold on a door handle each, and opened the doors for him at his signal.
The doors opened to reveal the occupants talking and eating amicably at the table. Sat at the head of the table furthest from the doors, was Tom Marvolo Riddle. Sat on the left of Tom was Lucius Malfoy, signifying that Lucius was his spouse. Draco was seated next to his father, and next to Draco was Charlus 'Charlie' Prewett, also formally a Weasley. To the right of Tom, as his right-hand man, was the person that Harry was looking for, Severus Snape. At the sound of the doors opening, everyone turned in his direction. When Tom saw him, he smiled and beckoned him forward with a wave of his hand.
"Brutus! We were under the impression that you wouldn't be able to join us tonight." Harry twitched slightly a the name 'Brutus', but nonetheless, he walked towards the table and took the seat next to Severus. Cutlery, a goblet, and a plate of food appeared in front of him as he sat.
"Father, you know that I detest that name, and if you want to call me by my true birth name, then please use my middle name. Or some variation on it." He sighed.
His father chuckled, shaking his head. "You know that I chose both your first and middle name, and I shall called you by what I chose first, Brutus. Even if I shall be the only one to do so." Lucius, his Papa, laughed at his frustrated face, placing his hand upon his fathers hand that rested atop the table.
"Marv, you shouldn't tease our son so, he may coerce the house-elves into a protest again." Lucius teased. His father held his right hand up that air, waving it slightly, as if waving a metaphorical white flag.
"So Cade, seeing as you're here, I'm guessing you've completed all of your business for the day?" Draco asked, eyeing the twins as they stationed themselves behind their boss. "And for Merlin's sake, tell those infernal terrors to sit, they're putting me edge, stood like that." He waved his hand towards the table, and the twins sat themselves down, Fred next to him, and George next to Charlie.
"So how are the wedding plans coming along then, Draconis?" Draco glared at him for the use of his proper first name, but couldn't stop the small smile from forming.
"They are coming along swimmingly, Caduceus, the only thing left is the finalise the date, then to send out the invites. Why, are you offering to help?"
"No thank you very much, I have better things to be doing with my precious time, I was just inquiring so that I'd know when all the ridiculous talk of the proper way flowers should be arranged. Utter nonsense, if you ask me. Oh, I almost forgot, I must thank you for wanting such a big fuss of a wedding, so now that when I wed, I shall be having just a small affair. Thank Merlin." He grinned. Draco smirked back at him, before turning towards Charlie, his fiance, to quietly discuss the yet to be decided wedding date.
As he began to eat his dinner of minted lamb shanks with boiled garlic baby potatoes, broccoli and spinach, he held Severus' hand under the table, fingers entwined.
