Chapter 45
The mix tapes or rather records, along with the player and music had been a surprise…
Voldemort going so far must mean he was serious…
That just made it worse…
The dreams…
Feeling someone that powerful being so gentle at first and then dominating, his body still ached for it…
Did that make him weak? He’d grown up hearing how evil poufs were and how he’d likely grow up to be one, the only that world would be better off without him…
Crushing on James who bullied him had been the most painful realisation of all in of his years at Hogwarts…
He never admitted it to anyone, but how could he desire the Dark Lord? He’d been Crucioed by him so many times that Severus hardly attempted to count them all…
How could someone who had Crucioed him, be so gentle…?
Was it guilt? Was Voldemort with him out of guilt?
His heart twisted, that couldn’t be…
Lolly, his head elf arrived with a tray but he waved her away.
“But Master,”
“Leave me,” shoving Lolly made him pass out, stealing his last bit of energy.
“Master!”
XooooooX
“Master Consort!”
“Yes Barry?” Alaric snapped.
“Master Severus collapse. Dolly sent for Healer.”
Despite orders not to chase after Severus, Alaric had only one thought, “Take me to him.”
Alaric would have thought Severus was sleeping, if it weren’t for the Head Prince elf wringing her hands.
“Lolly, that’s enough. Andromeda will be here soon.” Alaric hissed as he slid into the bed cradling Severus in his arms.
Immediately he felt a huge drain on his magic, shite! What had Severus been doing…?
Andromeda appeared via house elf and immediately fell to examining Severus.
The imperious witch muttered under her breath, “Idiot. Fool. Starving one’s self...oblivious…I ought to curse you for your stupidity.”
After she finally finished casting both magic and potions at him, she glowered at Alaric, “If you let him go, this will happen again no doubt. Your swift arrival saved both your offspring and your soulmate. If I have to tie you two together magically, I will. He will need your magic to stable his health, due to his lack of proper rest and nutrition he has been surviving on magic for a while now. How he is still alive I cannot explain…”
Alaric scowled the unconscious Severus in his arms, “Trust me, he won’t be running away again. He proved he can’t, or at least won’t take care of himself. As his legal consort, his wellbeing is my responsibility.”
“Good. I suggest you set about convincing him of that.” Andromeda sniffed before seeing herself out.
XooooooX
Severus’ head ached and he groaned.
“Awake, are you? What were you thinking Severus? Was being intimate with me so awful that you had to starve yourself?”
“What are you doing here my Lord…?” Severus asked tiredly.
“I think you have that wrong Severus, legally you are my lord.” The Dark Lord chuckled.
Severus opened one eye, “What are you going on about?”
“According to the tapestry in Merrivale, we are soulmates and magically bound together. For you I filed for an appropriate name with Gringotts; Alaricus Thuban Slytherin-Peverell but you may call me Alaric. I am, or rather we are one signature away from being legally bonded, your signature. As far as the House of Prince is concerned, I am your consort and I am very dedicated to ensuring your wellbeing as well as that of our future children.”
“Don’t tease me. I am not worthy of the House of Prince or bearing children to continue its line. So how could I be worthy of you?” Severus muttered darkly.
“I told you before Severus, I was an impoverished Lord that was kept around on sufferance because of my ancestry. I am a Halfblood just as you are, but unlike you; I had nothing to inherit beyond a name when I came of age. I have never really felt any desire until you, granted my awareness of this has been slow brought on mostly by my return to sanity due to Potter’s blood. If you do not believe me about your pregnancy, we can check the Prince family tapestry.” Alaric sighed.
“Could you not inherit anything belonging to Salazar?” Severus frowned.
“The House of Pucey had to give it up; otherwise all I would have to claim Riddle Manor and the Gaunt shack officially, which was not truly worth the effort at the time. Especially with the blood on my hands…” Alaric shrugged.
“How do you know the blood truly lies on your hands? How often do I need to say review your memories Master?” Nagini hissed in his mind, interrupting them.
That was annoying, across the Channel and she was still snipping at him.
“Nagini now is not the time.” Alaric replied sharply.
“You two are the stubbornest wizards I have met, is this a genius complex?” Nagini fumed.
Severus was too tired to make the effort to comprehend the impression that came through the master-familiar bond, “What is she saying?”
“She asked if we really know what blood lies on our hands. Chiding how often does she need to insist we review our memories? She calls us the stubbornest wizards she knows and asked it this was due to us being geniuses…”
“The latter might be true…Lily used to call me stubborn…”
“Should we consider examining our memories?” Alaric mused.
“She’d been insistent on it…” Severus said tiredly.
“I know your mind better than you do Master; as your conscience, you should listen to me more. Stubborn wizards…”
“Yes, yes.” Alaric said in dismissive annoyance.
Lolly appeared with a tray, “Master Severus going to eat properly?”
Alaric adjusted so they were sitting up, “Yes. I expect you’ve prepared something for Severus according to Andromeda’s recommendations?”
“Yes, Lolly make sure.” The elf nodded vigorously.
“Good. Severus will eat.”
“And if I don’t?”
“Then it will be far longer than you want before we’re allowed to intimate again on account of your health. You can claim all you want that it is unimportant but I know you want it as much as I do. Your mark is tied to my soul,” Alaric showed his own mark, “when I changed yours I received the same mark. I feel what you do when it’s strong but I don’t force you to let me in.”
“How is it that I can sense things from you?”
“You think about me and it opens the soulbond between us wider, I have done some research. My adjustments of the mark had different results than I anticipated, probably a result of my tattered soul and our soulbond.”
“Oh…”
“Severus understand this, my wish to free you from a binding as my servant seems to have been empowered after we unintentionally consummated our soulbond. As I said before, according to the House of Prince I am your consort.”
“We’re soulbonded like Harry and Draco? Why us?”
“Perhaps, it was a gift from fate to make up for what we suffered due to Dumbledore’s meddling.” Alaric shrugged, “I don’t care, together we have what we both ached for our entire lives.”
“What is that?” Severus asked quietly.
“To be wanted, to belong and to have a family. I want you in every way, I belong to you as you do to me, and together we are a family. Admitting we care about one another might be the closest we come to expressing our feelings in words. Physically, I have no problem showing how intensely I desire you. It wasn’t a one-off thing for me Severus, I have never shared my body with another.”
“…neither have I...” Severus’ voice was faint and pained.
“You think being a virgin at your age is shameful? I am far older than you, one might argue that I have no right to fall in love at my age and with someone so much younger. Yet I find I care not for other’s opinions on that. Does my age embarrass you?” Alaric was curious.
“I couldn’t condone being with someone weak.” Severus muttered.
“I hope you mean in magical power…” Alaric said dryly.
“What do you think? I am a Slytherin…”
“You have far more power in your little finger than Bellatrix had in her entire body. I was never interested in her; besides she was bonded to the son of a school acquaintance.” Alaric shrugged.
“So, you’re serious that you would legally bind yourself to me?”
“I already signed the bonding contract, a permanent one in my blood under my new legal name. When you feel better, you can sign it. We belong together and I despise the idea of being apart again.”
Severus’ heart twisted and he trembled at the thought of being alone again.
“I won’t leave either of you.” The Dark Lord said sternly as he tightened his arms.
Severus could not bring himself to trust the older wizard even if he could sense truthfulness in Alaric’s voice and mind.
Despite his efforts, Severus did not have the energy to feed himself for long and he was far too embarrassed by his weakness to ask his consort for his assistance.
He didn’t have to ask Alaric because the elder wizard shifted him in his arms to be able to take care of him.
Severus was embarrassed but all he could feel were gentle emotions of joy and cherishment, that he was mostly unfamiliar with.
Eventually, he grew sleepy and Alaric dismissed the tray, manipulating Severus’ body into a more comfortable position.
Music was charmed to play and Alaric summoned a book, “Go ahead and rest, I won’t leave except to use the loo. If that happens I will leave you a note and the door will remain open so I can hear your call.”
Severus drifted off soothed by one of the mix tapes and the warmth of Alaric’s lap…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
