Lily is cradling Harry when the Dark Lord steps into the nursery. She swallows as she takes in the magnificent figure before her, eyes lingering on his broad chest.

"It's done," he says softly.

Lily's smile lights up her face and she steps forward, rubbing Harry's back when he starts to fuss.

The Dark Lord's ruby eyes slide down to the baby, and he reaches out, smoothing the unruly black locks that adorn his head. "When will the potion wear off? I want to see what my son truly looks like."

"In about another week," Lily assures him.

"Good," he says, and then his hands cups Lily's cheek. He bends down and captures her lips in a heated kiss.

Lily moans wantonly, craving more of his touch, but her hold on her son stilling her when it comes to capturing more.

He pulls back and smirks at her flushed cheeks. Her legs quiver in her state of arousal. "Let's go, my love."

"What about the spell?" she questions.

"My dear, you underestimate me." With a quick wave of his wand, two bodies materialize. They resemble both Lily and Harry and will serve to make the wizarding world believe the whole Potter family was killed that night. And by the time they find out Lily and Harry is alive and well, it will be too late for all of them.

Lily holds Harry tight and closes her eyes as the Dark Lord does Side-Along Apparition with them. They land at Slytherin Manor.

He leads her to a set of double doors and with a light touch of his hand, they open. "I've already keyed you and Hadrian into the wards, so come in," he orders.

She walks through and looks around at the lush surroundings. The bed looks soft and heavenly, and she licks her lips in anticipation.

"Don't worry, my dear. That will soon come," he says.

Lily blushes at how transparent she obviously is to her lover.

"The nursery is though there." He points in the direction of a door.

When Lily walks into the room, she's happy with what she sees. There's a crib and a changing table. There are some books on a shelf, obviously to be used for bedtime stories. There aren't many toys, but Lily knows they can get them easy enough. The Dark Lord can always order a Death Eater parent to pick out some toys for Hadrian.

She lays Hadrian down, happy that he has fallen back asleep. Maybe he knows they're finally home now. "It will be okay, my darling Hadrian. Just you wait and see. We're going to be a family with your daddy now, a real family. Everything will be okay."

When she exits the nursery, leaving the door ajar in case Hadrian makes a noise, she finds her lover already in bed. His eyes darken as he gazes at her, and she shivers involuntarily.

"Come to bed," he orders huskily.

"With pleasure, my love." She takes off her dress and crawls into bed. When her lover pulls her hard so she lays on top of him, she knows her words to Hadrian were true. Everything will be okay now. They're right where they belong finally.
