Chapter 9
Severus was positively stunned. The girl he had loved for so many years had said what he had dreamed of her saying since he had hit puberty. His pulse raced quickly. He was nervous, anxious, excited, and joyful. Many more emotions flooded through him, so many he got a bit dizzy from it all. His breathing quickened from them.
Lily still awaited an answer from him. She wanted to hear him say it. He had never said it in his life. He had always kept it bottled up. Very few people knew about his love for Lily Evans. The Dark Lord had discovered it during their first meeting after casting the offensive mind reading spell. He had also used Lily against Severus to get what he wanted from him. Just as Albus Dumbledore had.
It had not been long at all after finding out that the Dark Lord could read minds before Severus learned to cast Occulmency. The Dark Lord had been mildly disappointed, but also highly impressed by this. The fact that Severus learned such a difficult spell over a summer without any tutour, made The Dark Lord want him even more. He had many plans on how the muggleborns were going to live (most suggested a worse fate than that of the house elves), but The Dark Lord had assured Severus that Lily would be spared if he could get the girl to switch sides.
Of course Lily didn't switch. And Severus was grateful for that. His Lily; the angelic one. Because of her selflessness, she had died, aiding in The Dark Lord's fall. Severus lived freely now. Most of the time, anyway. Albus still occasionally held the promise over his head though, but Albus was the lesser of two evils. Severus would admit that, and could even consider the man a friend, when he wasn't using Severus as a pawn in some plan he had concocted.
Remus had also figured it out easily. He didn't need some spell to know. He had known Severus and Lily were close friends in their early days of Hogwarts. He had also known that Severus' hate for Potter was a deep to the bone, and knew it wasn't just a silly childhood rivalry.
"Sev?" Lily whispered.
Severus' eyes regained focus, pulled from his thoughts. He smiled, admiring the beautiful gems of her eyes. He swallowed hard, wetting his dry throat. "I... love you... too." He whispered slowly. He clasped his hands around her upper arms. Nothing was said between them while they studied each other passionately. Severus leaned down, smelling her long, flowing locks of red hair. It smelled like his hair; lemon and apples. He moaned softly. He thought it was the perfect mix for her. His eyes wandered down to her slightly parted lips, and he placed his hands up to her neck, feeling her own pulse thudding rapidly.
She did love him! Lily wanted him. She was choosing him this time.
Severus brought his face down to Lily's, resting his forehead onto her own. He watched her close her eyes in anticipation. Her face flushed with a red heat, and her breathing matched his.
"Lily...?" His lips grazed hers ever so softly, just enough to tickle them both, increasing their need.
"Hmm?" Her voice had gotten deeper; croakier and shakier.
"Can... I... k-kiss you...?" Severus asked very slowly. He knew the answer would be a yes, but he was still wary of it.
Lily bit her lip for a second then hastily stood on her tiptoes to press her lips to his.
A sharp jolt shot through their bodies as soon as their lips connected. They gasped at the shocking feeling, and instantly broke the connection, staring at each other. Their minds began racing, trying to decipher what had just happened.
"A...bond." Severus whispered in realization after several moments of silence.
"Of love?" Lily asked. It made sense to her; once he had said it.
Severus nodded and Lily smiled. "We both fell in love at the first sight of each other. When our eyes met." She explained without needing to.
"We must not have noticed it. Being so young..." Severus mused.
"So young..." Lily agreed. "We didn't even know what love truly was then."
Severus looked down at the woman before him. They had separated their bodies during their thought process. "Err... Did you want to... seal it... Or...?" He looked away and held his breath. He could hear a vibration in his ears from the hopefulness that Lily may in fact be his forever.
"Look at me." he heard her say, to which he obliged. Her hand was held out, and in it was a daisy flower. The petals moved as if a breeze of wind was blowing on them. "Take my hand, Sev." She said softly.
He didn't think it were possible for his heart to pound any harder, but as soon as their hands touched, as soon as he felt Lily's flower against his palm, it sped up even faster.
"Yes." She whispered.
"I'm not the... best man out there." Severus warned her.
She wrapped her arms around him. "You've done your best with what was dealt to you, love, and you'll keep trying, won't you?"
"What ever you want, Lily. I'll do anything for you."
Her hold on him got tighter. "Let's seal the bond then." Lily permitted. "Before it drives us into insanity."
"Alright..." Severus said uneasily and hugged her back. He could hardly believe this was happening. "R-ready?"
Lily nodded and smiled.
Severus tilted his head to the side. He made the move and kissed his love. The shocking jolt of the bond wasn't as aggressive this time as they embraced their fate, both under full comprehension of the bond they were sealing between each other. Ribboned lights of many different colors circled around the two, the same magic seen from some fairytale film.
Perhaps they kissed too long, neither noticed- or cared, full filling a deep desire that they had been suppressing for many years. "Now are you going to marry my mum?" The voice of Harry immediately broke the kissing couple.
Their cheeks turning red, blushing from being caught by the boy. Lily touched her tingling lips, while Severus licked his, unwilling to end his ravishing of her mouth so soon. If he didn't have a seven year old boy in the house, he would have even taken Lily up to his bedroom right there and then.
And now he needed a shower. A cold one.
Severus cleared his throat. Unable to look away from Lily, he said, "In a manner of speaking... we have just completed a diverted ceremony to the traditional marriage agreement."
"So... does that mean you're married?" Harry asked with confusion.
Lily drove her eyes from Severus' to look at her son. "Unofficially, yes, Harry."
Harry cheered and ran to his mother. "You love him! I knew it!" He exclaimed, hugging her. With a wide smile, Harry leaned toward Severus and took his hand, pulling it to Lily connecting their hands together to hold then he ran off.
Lily giggled at her son's excitement. "Harry, where are you going, baby?"
"To floo Uncle Remus!" Harry called back from the living room.
Severus sent Lily a puzzled look before leading her by the hand to the living room where Harry was squatting down at the fireplace.
"Hi, Uncle Remus!" Harry greeted the head that the flames formed.
"Is something wrong?" Remus asked in alarm. "Where's Severus and your mother?"
"We're right here." Severus spoke up.
"Can I stay with you for a couple days? My mum and Severus are going to go on their honeymoon, and I can't be with them." Harry lowered his voice. "They may kiss too much!"
"Harry!" Lily squeaked out in surprise at Harry's words.
"Say what?" Remus chuckled, thinking Harry may have misunderstood something that had been said. A common thing kids his age did.
"They got married!" Harry informed the man happily.
Severus squeezed Lily's hand and they stepped up behind Harry. "It's true." He confirmed.
"Get out of the way, I'm coming through." A moment later, Remus appeared. "Married?" He questioned his friends with raised eyebrows. "You waste no time at all..."
"Through a love bond." Lily said. "It's not really official."
"Yet." Severus added.
Remus nodded in understanding. "Powerful things, those love bonds."
"What's a love bond?" Harry asked curiously, taking Severus' free hand into his.
"There's several types." Remus told him. "It's a strong magical connection between two people."
"Severus and I have a special one that forms when love at first sight occurs."
Harry wrinkled his nose. "That stuff is real?"
"It is." Severus nodded. "The bond makes itself known when those two people kiss for the first time."
"And what if they don't ever kiss?"
"That is not something we will have to worry about, Harry." Severus said quietly.
"Obviously not!" the boy laughed. "You even had your tongues involved! Yuck!"
"Harry!" Lily squeaked again, covering her face with her hands.
Severus pursed his lips in an effort to hide his embarrassment.
Remus burst out into laughter.
"What?" The boy asked innocently. "What'd I do?"
"Seven year olds have no limits, do they?" Remus ruffled up Harry's hair, and the boy giggled. "So, when is the honeymoon?"
"Remus!" Lily gasped. "We should have an official ceremony first!"
"Oh, please tell me it's not going to have a lot of people." Severus groaned.
"I promise it won't be too big." Lily said, wrapping an arm around his.
*/*
"I want to invite Tuney." Lily announced a couple days later as she and Severus made their wedding plans.
"That's probably not a good idea..." Severus advised, as he scribbled a note to Albus.
"After all these years, maybe she'll have changed her mind about me... and... the magic world."
Severus carefully set down his quill and looked at her in silence for a few moments. "I promised your son he'd never have to see that muggle woman and her whale of a husband again." He announced coldly. "And, as you know, I do not break my promises."
"And why would you do such a thing, Severus?" Lily narrowed her eyes.
Pressing his lips together in annoyance, Severus picked his quill back up to return to writing his invitations. "There's a reason Harry lives with me, Lily." He said with his eyes glaring at the piece of parchment. "One of them, or both of them-I don't care which, hurt that little boy. Smacked him around like he was worth nothing to them."
Lily gasped. "You're serious?! Tuney?!" her mouth dropped in disbelief. "I can't... believe that..."
"I'd tell you to ask Harry about it, but why bring up such horrid memories, hmm? The boy thought my wand was a beating stick, Lily. He was incredibly happy when I offered him a home with me."
Lily's lips turned pale as she pressed them together. Her eyes blazed up with a sudden rage. She picked up her wand that had been laying at the table.
"Now, Lily-" Severus didn't get to finish his sentence as Lily stood up from the table they had been sitting at and stalked out of Severus' study. "Wait, Lily!" Severus heaved a sigh and hurried after the woman. It was a good thing she didn't know how to apparate yet, he was able to catch up with her easily and snatch a hold of her shoulders, turning her around to face him.
"Let me go, Severus!" She growled and tried to escape his grasp.
"Think about what you're about to do." He told her. "You can't perform magic around them, Lily. It's against the law, and you'll get into lots of trouble."
"Let...Me... Go...!" she hissed, her hand gripping her wand. "Or... I'll-"
Severus pulled her to him, pressing her body against his. He kissed her then. It was an effort just to simply confuse her. Their bond of love having a great power over them when they did such an intimate act. Their mouths fought eagerly for dominance, neither allowing the other to gain control.
"Th-Think...about... H-Harry...!" Severus said through panting when he finally broke the kiss off. He closed his eyes, stifling a moan. Kissing her was almost torture. Mostly because they had agreed not to do anything more until after the wedding, but their bodies wanted much more. Their bodies needed more. Much more.
Lily stared at him with an aroused look, slightly grinning, lost in the moment of the kiss. She reached out, placing her hands to his chest.
"L-Lily-y..." he closed his eyes and told himself to ignore the hot desire building up in his belly. And below his belt. He groaned as her fingers found their way through his robes and undershirt. Severus snatched her wrists, stopping her from going any further. "Not now, my love." He whispered firmly, then he delicately removed the wand that was tucked into her hand. "We'll go see Petunia." He told her. "But I am going to hold onto your wand- for safety precautions."
Lily nodded, snapping out of the trance at Petunia's name mentioning. "Apparate me then." she ordered, her coldness returning.
A moment later, Severus apparated them to safe house nearby the Dursley's home. Lily wasted no time and began marching out of the house. She knew the neighborhood, having had visited Petunia a couple times in her past.
With a quick wave, Severus dressed himself into something muggle and scowled in disgust, but it was broad daylight, and he didn't want to make a scene. More of one than Lily was about to make, anyway.
His long legs allowed him to catch up with her, and by the time Lily had made it to the front stoop of her sister's home, she was panting from the steamy walk she had just done. Lily reached up and thudded three times on the door.
The brunette haired woman, who looked nothing like her beautiful sister, opened the door and shrieked in terror at the sight of her dead sister, backing up from the door. Lily stepped in, fists clenched to her sides, breathing heavily in anger. Severus followed her closely inside and shut the door. He crossed his arms, his wand in his hand in case he had to stop something from happening.
"Lily?" Petunia squeaked, shivering in fear.
"What did you do to my son, Petunia?!" Lily growled. Severus about shuddered at her tone, thanking himself he was not on the receiving end of that.
"I-I-" Petunia continued to back away, but Lily followed and snatched the collar of her sister's perfect dress.
"Did you hurt my little boy?!" Lily demanded. "Did you hit him?!"
"No! Don't hurt me!"
"Answer me, Tuney!" Lily shouted. "Or I'll turn you into a mouse!"
"I-I didn't!" Petunia struggled. "It wasn't me!"
"Vernon?"
Petunia nodded, whimpering some. "I-I told him to stop! He wouldn't listen! He told me that he was only doing what I wanted- beating the freak out of the child."
Severus rolled his eyes. Tobias had said the same bloody thing to him when he was a child. He had said it to his mother too. Fists and belts can't remove the magic from a witch or wizard though. Muggles were brainless.
"And where is your bloody husband?!" Lily asked.
"He's in..." Petunia's eyes filled with tears. "Prison..." she whispered.
Lily removed her hand from her sister, her anger was fading. "Why?" She asked slowly.
"After Harry disappeared that day, and that Dumbly-"
"Dumbledore." Severus corrected with a snarl.
"Dum-ble-dore..." Petunia emphasized slowly. "Sent us a letter saying we were no longer responsible for the boy, since we had little care for him, Vernon... he..." Petunia sobbed. "Without Harry to take his anger on, he went after my little boy!"
"You have a son, Tuney?" Lily asked softly.
Petunia nodded. "Dudley... Anyway, when I tried stopping him, he knocked me out cold!"
Lily's eyes widened. "Tuney..." she said soothingly and took her sister into her arms. "Oh... Tuney..." She whispered.
"I filed charges against him." Petunia sobbed onto her sister's shoulder. "I couldn't let him hurt my baby and me."
Severus huffed. "But Harry was different?! Because he was a freak!"
Petunia's eyes fell down to the floor. "Lily, I'm so sorry... Really...! I was just so bitter and cold...! After losing Mama and Papa, and then you." She burst out into sobs. "How is Harry?" She asked after a moment.
"Fine... no thanks to you." Lily muttered.
Petunia sniffed and wiped her eyes, smearing her makeup. "My son... he's... one of you..." she said with a whisper.
"He's magical?" Lily asked with surprise.
Petunia nodded slowly. "I just noticed it the other day. He has been purposely hiding it from me, afraid that I would hate him for it."
"That poor boy!" Lily shrieked. "You don't, do you?!"
"Of course not, Lil'! He's my baby!"
"Well, I am your sister and you hate me!"
"No, Lily..." Petunia cried. "I never hated you! I love you so much! I only envied you! That's all! You had everything! The perfect life! Even Mama and Papa loved you more because you were special! I had nothing..."
"I can not believe you invited her to our wedding." Severus grumbled an hour later on their way back to the safe house.
"She's my sister, Sev, and, right now, she really needs me. If I can help her, then I'm going to!"
* / *
"Harry James Potter! Get out here right this minute!"
"No!" Harry shouted. "You promised me! Severus, you promised!"
Severus clenched his jaw in frustration. He already felt absolutely horrid and the boy was making him feel ten times as worse.
He was alone with the Harry, Lily was off tending to Remus who had had a bad night previously and needed some of his wounds sealed.
"Well...things... change." Severus said helplessly.
"You said I'd never have to see them again!" The boy sounded like he was crying. Or rather trying not to.
"I know what I said..." Severus then cursed under his breath. He had warned Lily that Harry didn't like The Dursleys, but she insisted that her sister and nephew attend the wedding. "Your aunt has promised she would be very nice to you." Severus said to the closed door.
"And you promised that I would never have to see her again! I guess promises mean nothing!"
Severus could had just open the locked door easily with magic, but Harry was the type of person that needed to stew in solitude before he'd ever cool down. Forcing it would just make him angrier.
"Alright, Harry, when you want to talk, do let me know, please." Severus said and went down to the living room. He tried reading a book but couldn't focus on it. He could not stop thinking about the promise that he had to break to the boy. Severus didn't doubt that he felt as bad as Harry did about the situation.
"What's wrong?" Lily's voice caused him to sit up straighter and inhale deeply.
"I told Harry that your sister and her boy would be coming to the wedding. He got this sick look on his face and started yelling tawdries at me. He then ran up to his room and shut himself in it. He refuses to reason." Severus grunted. "He's definitely going to be a Gryffindor; hard headed little brute."
Lily frowned. "I'll see if I can talk to him."
"Best to just leave him alone for a while." He warned her. "Harry has a cheeky tongue when he's unhappy."
Lily ignored his warning, walking passed him.
"Don't take what he says seriously, Lily." She heard him say before going up to the second floor.
Lily tapped on Harry's door.
"Go away!"
"Harry sweety, it's Mummy." Lily said in her most gentle voice. "Can I talk with you?"
"Only if you tell that bitch muggle she can't come to the wedding!"
Lily's eyes widened at her son's words. "Harry!" She took a deep breath, considering Severus' warning, and forced herself to remain calm. "I can't, darling, Mummy already said she could go."
There was a long paused, and Lily had to speak out his name before he said another thing. "But she really hates me, Mum..." Lily let herself into Harry's room. He was sitting on the floor by his bed, his head held in his hands.
"Come give me a hug, baby." She whispered, holding out her arms to him.
Harry looked up and wiped his face clean with the back of his hand. He ran to Lily, tucking his face against her, sniffing.
"She doesn't hate you, and she never did." Lily explained. "She was only jealous because we are special and she's not. She has had to overlook that though, do you know why?"
Harry shook his head.
"Dudley, your cousin, he's a wizard."
Harry leaned back to look up at his mother, gawking at her. "He is?!"
"Yes, he is, and Mummy needs to help Aunt Petunia with him, so she knows what to do for him."
"He'll... He'll go to Hogwarts with me?"
"If that's what they want, yes, but there are also other schools he can go to."
Harry's face fell sadly. "Dudley will tease me. He's not nice. He's a big bully."
Lily lifted his chin up so he would look up at her. "Mummy won't allow that. And neither will Aunt Petunia- if she knows what's good for her."
"I won't have to do what Aunt Petunia says then?" Harry asked warily.
"No, Harry, your Aunt Petunia has no authority over you." she pulled her son back into her arms, kissing the top of his head. "Mummy, Severus, and Remus, we'll all protect you, just as we've always done, okay?"
Harry relaxed against her, sighing. "Okay, Mum."
"Feel better now?"
"Lots."
"Can you forgive Severus?" She asked him. "It's was not his fault Mummy is so forgiving. He didn't want Aunt Petunia coming to the wedding neither."
"Yeah, I can." The boy said quietly.
"He's downstairs in the living room. Go and give him a hug; he needs it."
Severus grunted uncomfortably when the boy threw himself at him. "I'm sorry, Severus." Harry said. "I was only mad, I don't really hate you."
Severus softly rubbed Harry's back, relieved the boy finally cooled down and was no longer calling him names . "I'm sorry too, Harry."
