Chapter 40- Unexpected Revelations

Sirius I, King of the Chuvash escorted the still shell-shocked young Lord back the apartment at Hogwarts that he shared with his lovers Severus and Remus.

He settled Lucius in a comfortable armchair and poured him a drink from the concealed bar. Professors after all wouldn't want it to be known that they indulged a little after dealing with children and teenagers all day. He handed the glass that held two fingers worth of firewhiskey. "Here. Drink that."

Lucius drank it and then stared at the glass as if it had all the answers, "Me? They want me to take Crouch's place on the Council? I've always wanted it…I'm only argued a handful of cases, Harry's and Blacks as well as a few on my own account. Me? I'm on the budget and foreign affairs committees…"

"You wanted it. I wonder who will be replacing Dumbledore."

Lucius set the glass down, "It would have to be someone with time in the Wizengamot and with a background in either law enforcement or law. Amelia started as Auror, Augusta was appointed due to her son being one, they wanted Frank but Frank felt it was a conflict of interest. Out of respect for that Augusta would recuse herself from any case he was involved with. When Dumbledore is finally brought to justice I'll have to recuse myself because I'll be trying a case against him." He laughed sardonically, "I'll enjoy that. It will be a joy trying him under the archaic laws. I can think of all sorts of lovely things to charge him with, line theft on behalf of the Princes, murder of a firstborn, abuse of a pregnant minor- he threatened a very ill teenager with an abusive Muggle father to expel him and make him return there. That would upset even the most stoic of persons."

"Of course. I'll be bringing or Andromeda will bring a host of other charges on behalf or the Black family. There are charges regarding the Potters which either you or Andromeda will be bringing."

The door was open by a breathless Severus.

Lucius was on his feet at once, "Sev, what's wrong?"

"Wrong? Nothing wrong. Except our brilliant students decided to stage a prank war and involve the visiting schools. George Prewett-Weasley joined the Durmstrang students. Unfortunately for us he decided to use something called Moonlight Madness. It had an adverse affect on Remus. I had to have him removed from the Great Hall, because he went feral and was about to attack Dumbledore. I had him taken to Number Seven, Malloy Place. It just devolved from chaos. The witch couples nearly had sex in the Great Hall. Some fought like children. Others ran around like toddlers. Gryffindor and two Ravenclaws had a food fight. Some students were put to sleep while some others were turned to stone; two sets of students had their bodies switched. Peeves was his own usual nonsensical self if you add in the bag of tarantulas he dumped on Ronald Dumbledore."

"What affected did it have on my kin?" Sirius I asked worried.

"It seemed to have no affect on Adrian. He was able to order Slytherin to behave. Neville like Sprout tried to redecorate the Great Hall with plants but Adrian demanded his wand. Blaise and Harry attempted to leave the table yet Adrian brought them in line."

"I wonder," Sirius I mused, "If they obeyed because they are submissives or because of something else."

"I'd still like them to be looked over by a Chuvash Healer. I'm sure you have one affiliated with the Court? I want all the students to be properly examined but I worry most for those with creature inheritances."

Sirius I looked at him strangely, "Your glamour is bleeding light."

Lucius stared at him, "What glamour? That's how Severus always looks."

Sirius I stepped towards Severus, "It didn't affect those with active creature inheritances huh? So tell me Son of the House of Prince what your inheritance was."

Severus turned pale, shaking, "What are you taking about?"

"You have a glamour anchored to your skin, why?"

"Some things are private." Severus snapped.

"So private your own mates don't know them? Tell me what a human wizard needs two mates for. Why do you need a creature of light and a creature of dark as mates?"

Severus stiffened, "I am that which I appear to be."

"Thou liest. I can feel your magic. It's old. It feels older than my own. What are you Severus?"

Severus glared, "None of your business. I'm the same person I was yesterday."

"Yesterday you weren't exposed to something that turned a werewolf feral, made humans rowdy and affected Veela and Chuvash younglings." Sirius I snarled back.

Lucius was shocked; did Severus have a creature inheritance? Could his mate have kept something besides the forced abortion of their child from him?

Severus sneered, "Maybe I keep this a secret for my own protection? So no one has anything more to hang over my head? You disappeared from your family to keep your inheritance a secret! Let me keep mine."

Sirius I snapped, "My mate knows all my secrets, even ones that only the King should know. Your insult your mates by keeping it a secret."

Lucius finally managed to speak. "Did Lily know?"

Severus groaned, "Of course not! If it weren't for Pomfrey's gossiping ways Lily would never have discovered my pregnancy."

Lucius let out the breath he didn't even realize he was holding, "Thank Salazar. I don't think I could handle it if she knew."

Severus felt guilty; "You know how I hate for anyone to have leverage over me. I've seen what people have done to Remus. I know how your father reacted. There was no way I was letting anyone know a secret like that. It would be far to easy to kill me."

Sirius I looked thoughtful, "That explains it then. Though I wonder how you managed to escape their notice? Someone as powerful as you are should have been taken to their Court."

Severus stiffened, "I beg you sir. Speak no more about it. I would not have it spoke of. I would sooner die."

Sirius I ignored him, "I wonder if that was why he used that spell. Perhaps he worried anything else might not work."

Severus glared, "What are you talking about?"

"It's been ages since a witch or wizard conceived so young. Fifteen? Coupled with your advanced magical abilities…."

Severus froze, "He couldn't know…Albus could have killed me easily. I wouldn't have known…"

"He wanted you completely dependent on him. Afraid to defy him because he knows you're stronger."

Severus whispered, "Don't say anything more. I don't want to consider it. What matters are my students! I want them examined to be sure that 'Moonlight Madness' didn't hurt them."

"Fine! " Sirius I snapped. "I'll summon one of my healers."

XoooooX

Luna sighed, sneaking away to send a message to the queen. It was apologizing for revealing herself but assuring her that it was necessary and that all possible precautions were being taken.

She also requested that one of the court healers come immediately to Hogwarts. They were in the middle of a prank war. One of the pranks got out of control, affecting her cousin and Miss Delacour's sister. Due to their active Veela both herself and Miss Delacour were seemingly not affected but she would appreciate it if it were confirmed.

The letter of course was in Runic, the language of the Veela Court.

XoooooX

Harry was still shaky from Adrian's harsh verbal commanding to behave himself. He hadn't been bad had he? He didn't really remember…

Draco however was fuming because Papa had yelled at him publicly.

Neville was hurt, not because Adrian had yelled at him but because he'd disappointed the King of Slytherin.

Blaise however was furious, why did Adrian think he had the right to command him like that? Adrian was not his dominant! He was not subject to the whims of every dominant! Just his own…what he remembered from before Adrian forced them to obey was an overwhelming need for Charlie.

XoooooX

Lucius remembered vaguely about a healer who worked for the werewolf support services. He'd gone to school with them, and been in the Slug club, he was a decent potioneer but not as wildly talented as his Sev. He kissed his mate, "You check on Remus. I've got a healer to find."

XoooooX

Severus entered the floo after Lucius but heading for Number Seven, Malloy Place

He hurried down to the basement to check on Remus, he rapped on the door, "Remus?"

An achingly familiar voice answered, "Sev? What the hell happened?"

Severus parted the wards and entered, "How do you feel?"

"Embarrassed. Did I hurt anyone?"

Severus shook his head, "No. Our brilliant students decided to declare a six-way rather then four-way prank war. Most of it was harmless stuff like Hufflepuff putting valerian root in Ravenclaw's pumpkin juice. Slytherin, I believe through Draco got a hold of an experimental truth potion I've been working on. It had Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs telling unasked for truths. Fred and George used some of their inventions. Durmstrang managed to participate. However, their involvement revolved an item called 'Moonlight madness'."

Remus blinked and then horror filled his face, "You mean it managed to replicate some of the wild behaviour some persons exhibit during a full moon?"

Severus nodded, "That's how Fred explains it. Now some reacted more then others, in Gryffindor with the exception of Fred, it merely resulted in a food fight. It broke over their table after all. It seemed to get stronger as it passed tables. Most of the Ravenclaws were asleep due to valerian root but it made Chang and Davies a bit crazy. Hufflepuff dissolved into screaming matches and fist fists." He sighed, "And I'll not get it into how it affected Slytherin."

"That bad huh?"

"Draco was running in circles trying to fly."

"It affected a Veela?"

"He's not come into his inheritance yet. It affected the young Chuvash as well. Yet had seemingly no affect on those with active creature inheritances." Severus said shortly, ignoring his own hidden gifts.

"How did you escape its hold?" Remus seemed curious.

"That's neither here nor there. Someone had to have a level head. Mostly because Dumbledore was muttering threats regarding Peeves and Flitwick was in shock."

Remus looked both chastised and disappointed, "so you don't trust me either."

Severus snorted, "With a past like mine, you don't trust anyone completely, not even your lovers."

Remus sighed, "Must be lonely."

They sat in silence.

XoooooX

Lucius made his way into the Department and Control of Magical Creatures with great reluctance. In his opinion, the only reason that the Ministry bothered with werewolves out of the humanoid creatures was because they failed to have an organized structure that allowed for policing one's own. They had no overall leader such as the Veela Queen or the Chuvash King. The vampires had a coven or two in each country. It was said every seven hundred years the leaders of the covens converged to chose another leader. That is if the present leader was beaten or killed. The Fae communities mostly lived apart, it wasn't really that it was illegal for non-humans such as goblins and house elves to use wands it was that humans needed them to focus their magic. Creatures such as vampires, Chuvash and Veela were naturally magically grounded; only those who lived amoung the Wizarding kind would use wands.

Lucius ignored the other members of the Department as he made his way to the division that housed werewolf support services.

He bypassed a secretary, "Sir! I mean my lord you can't go in there! Damocles is in a private meeting."

Lucius ignored them rapped on the door once and opened it, casting up strong privacy wards and locking the door.

Two heads snapped towards him looking a little guilty.

Lucius eyed them both, before turning his attention to the one behind the desk, "You are Damocles formerly Belby of Ravenclaw? Creator of the Wolfsbane potion"

The wizard behind the desk frowned, "I really hate that name. It makes it sound like a poison. I was once a member of the Belby family but no more. My name is Damocles Martin. This is my Bondmate Corey."

The man rose and held out his hand.

Lucius saw the familiar amber eyes, "I can see why they were so foolish as to disown you not that I agree with it." Accepting the hand for a firm shake.

The werewolf named Corey looked surprised, "I would have thought you would have hated me and mine."

Lucius shrugged, "Perhaps I might have, had I not been born with creature blood myself. I wish I had the pleasure of the luxury of visiting. However, I must know at once if it is true that you are a healer Damocles who specializes in werewolves."

Damocles was speechless at first, "Yes? Why?"

"I have a lover, a professor at Hogwarts who is a lycanthrope. The students there declared a prank war. Unfortunately one of their 'pranks' was a creation called moonlight madness. Remus is a gentle bookish person who might have been better suited to Ravenclaw then Gryffindor."

Corey interrupted, "Lupin? Was exposed to something called moonlight madness? What did he do?"

Lucius grinned, "Nothing, my Bondmate Deputy Headmaster pro-tem Severus Prince-Malfoy had him removed from the Great Hall and taken to my London home. We warded a room in the cellar for him during full moons. I'd like to have him examined."

"How did it affect him?" Damocles asked getting his coat.

Lucius sighed, "It merely made him a bit feral he was clearly intent on ripping Dumbledore to shreds."

Corey looked aghast, "You've got to be kidding. Lupin? He's less violent then a stubborn two year old."

Lucius swallowed, "We share a mate, Severus. Severus became pregnant while in school. He was forced to have an abortion. An exam by a competent healer revealed that he was in truth cursed infertile. Remus and I are terribly angry with Dumbledore."

Corey growled, "If someone did that to Damocles I can't imagine what I might do."

"You forget. My family tried."

Corey spun to face him, and then calmed. "They failed, thank Merlin. I'd come with you but Theseus hates being cub sat. If Carris was older we could leave her in charge but she's always got her nose in a book."

Lucius saw the looks on their faces, "They're your children."

Corey grinned, "Stubborn little mites. Carris is right as rain. Not a drop of lycanthrope in her. Theseus though he's got the temper, prefers rare meat and understands canines. He's always bringing home strays. When he begs your heart melts, 'please can I keep him?' Hard to say no to that cub…well I'll be off."

Damocles stood kissing his cheek and then took out his healer kit. As worried as I am about being able to bottle a full moon's affects I am curious about these inventors."

Lucius gestured and the door opened, "After you examine Remus I'll be sure to introduce you to at least one of them."

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
