Bolus de Destinium
Prologue – The Birth
The Bolus de Destinium, otherwise known as the Amulet of Destiny, the deadly power incased in mortal metal and stone. If Voldermont had the stone he would have been unbeatable, yet no one knows where the amulet is hidden. Deep beneath the bowels of the earth, or perhaps hiding in some trinket shop the grand power is in hiding until the right person comes along.
The powers locked inside the stone are tremendous in growth and strength. A wish can come true, you can change your destiny, and possibly a lot more. Most times though there is a price for using the amulet, though each time the payment from its wearer's change. Never, would the amulet ask for your life, unless it is needed for it to survive until the next chosen one is found.
The last known entry of the Bolus de Destinium was back near the turn of the century, when a young girl on the titanic used the deadly stone to protect her younger siblings but not herself. She died out in sea where no one could possibly ever find the amulet again, the wizarding world thought it was safe to live on but alas they were wrong.
"Remy, I'm home!" Sirius called as he walked into his home. His home! Sirius just couldn't believe his luck during these last few years, he was found not guilty and the ministry feeling like total asses gave him a big nice compensation. Which of course was used to buy this lovely little house that Moony and him live in now, well not all the money, gods know they could probably live off the compensation for the rest of their lives and still have his inheritance left around. Smiling the Marauder pauses for a moment, waiting to hear his mate's reply to his entrance. Only to hear shuffling from the next room he smirked and put his cloak on a peg heading to the room dubbed to be Remus' new study.
Smiling he leaned back on door jam and watched his best friend, his lover, unpack books upon books from his boxes. Another thing he couldn't believe he was lucky for, being able to have his Moony back after all these years. His loveable book-loving werewolf, was where he always belonged with him.
Feeling eyes upon him Remus stops with his unpacking of his precious books, slowly looking over his shoulders letting his eyes touch Sirius. Smiling he puts his books down and walks to Sirius' side. "I didn't hear you come in," he murmured, giving his love a gentle kiss on his cheek.
Smiling Sirius slips an arm around Remus, placing a kiss on his cheeks. "You were with your books, it's alright," he teased softly. Blushing some the younger man presses his face to Sirius' throat. Nuzzling Remus softly Sirius strokes his hair back softly. "I got you a gift on my way home," he whispered out.
Peeking up at Sirius, Remus' hazel yellow eyes twinkle a bit. "Is it more chocolate?" he asked hopefully.
Laughing some, Sirius shook his head for now and reached into the pocket of his robes. "This caught my attention in a store window and I thought it would look beautiful for you," Sirius said. Opening the necklace box in his hands, Remus' eyes greeted the sight of a beautiful opal like stone encased on a silver gold backing. The opal giving off a red gleam in the light of the room, backed by so many other colors from rainbows everywhere, the chain is clasp by two half-heart shapes that connect to one in the center.
"Padfoot this is beautiful," he breathed out softly.
"The man at the store said it was a wishing stone," Sirius murmured, slowly moving the necklace from the box and gently placing it around his love's throat. "I know it sounds foolish, but I looked at it and immediately thought how perfect it would look on you."
Smiling softly, Remus kisses Sirius and hugs him tightly. "Thank you love, I even know what I want to wish for," he said. "I'm going to wish for a perfect examination so we can adopt children," the werewolf stated. Without the lover's knowing the stone resting over Remus' heart gave a faint glow, to dull to be notice by even Remy's trained werewolf eyes.
"That's a perfect wish," Sirius kissed the other man's forehead. "You continue unpacking your books, I'm going to go get us a drink." With that the Marauder moved from his love's embrace back into the archway that leads into the kitchen, allowing Remus Lupin to finish putting his books away for a few more minutes. Moving down to kneel by his books again something caught his attention, like a snow flake on a dark blue sea a small scrap of paper. Picking it up slowly, he blinked as he saw writing on it looking at it closer he says the words out.
"Children created by love, yet they can not be born," he whispers out. Suddenly at those words, there is a bright glow that first starts to glow on the werewolf. "What's happening?" he near shouted out.
Hearing his love cry out, Sirius leaves the drinks in the kitchen. "Remus?" Sirius asked. As the other Marauder entered the room the glow started to spread to him. "Merlin's beard!" Sirius cursed out. Making his way to Remus' side he wrapped his arms securely around his small lover.
The glow kept around the two of them, getting brighter so they couldn't see anything except themselves. Changing colors rapidly like a streaking comet rainbow, wrapping around the two of them. This kept going for only a few moments but to Remus and Sirius it probably seems like forever, slowly the colorful light faded away. Leaving the two men alone, facing the darken colors of Remus' study. Blinking slowly Sirius looked around the room, making sure everything was in its proper place. "Everything is in its place," he said finally, breathing out a sigh of relief.
"No Paddy, it's not," Remus whispered out. Looking over Remus' shoulders, Sirius glanced down at their feet since that was the spot holding his love's attention. He almost passed out from the sight that greeted him, two bundled blankets laid on the floor. One a bright sunshine yellow, the other a baby sky blue. Slowly and carefully Remus picked up the yellow bundle and peered inside. Almost immediately a smile broke out on his face, and a tear slowly tract down from his eye. Looking up at Sirius he gave a bright smile and holds the bundle closer to him. "Her name is Solstice Lillian," he whispered out.
Blinking Sirius slowly sank to his knees and peered into the bundle in his love's arms. There was a piece of paper pinned to the top near the opening, a birth certificate of some sort. Name, Solstice Lillian Lupin- Black, Birthday October 18th 2001 that's this year. Shaking his head some he moved and picked up the blue bundle looking into the face of a black haired baby boy. Dark blue eyes focusing on Sirius' face with a baby smile. Like Solstice there was also a paper pinned near the top of his blanket. "James Albus Lupin-Black," Sirius said with a smile. Looking at Remus he smiles brightly, "Looks like your wish stone worked wonders love," he said.
End of June, 2006
"Daddy's home!" An excited squeal is heard from the front door as it is flung open. Looking up from his little bit of painting, Sirius can help but smile as he heard Solstice go running out the front door. Putting his paintbrush down he stood up and stretched walking to the front door. Sure enough Remus' and his four-year-old daughter was caught up in Remy's arms hugging her father close to death. As much as it was a strain for the two of them, Sirius insisted that Remus took the job that Dumbledore offered the other man in September. Remus was such a good teacher and the students seem to love having him as the Defense Professor. It was hard on the two of them being apart so much but it was harder on Solstice who was so close to her Daddy.
Walking off the front porch Sirius slips an arm around Remus' waist and kissed his love's cheek. "Welcome home," he whispered.
Smiling brightly, Remus returned the kiss and looked around the front lawn. "Where is James?" he asked, shifting Solstice in his arms a bit.
"Out with Harry and Adonis," Sirius replied. "I let Harry take him, those two will give him a good enough distraction I think."
Frowning softly Remus moved to sit on the front stoop still watching Sirius. "So it did happen than?" he questioned softly.
Nodding Sirius looked over the front yard as he joined his lover on the front porch. "Yep, Ginny filed for a divorce last week," Sirius answered. Shaking his head he looked at Remus. "It's going to be a clean divorce, she doesn't want anything from Harry…"
"Not even Adonis!" Remus exclaimed a little shocked.
"Well I think she would love custody of their son, but Adonis needs his father. Besides I think she'll be happy with Rowan," Sirius finished.
Nodding a bit Remus tightened his hold on his precious daughter, still quite in shock about what happen almost 5 years ago. Having the twins, knowing very well that the Ministry won't take them away, Dumbledore wouldn't allow it and neither would Sirius. But just imagining what Harry and Ginny must be going through right now, knowing either way their children 5 year old Adonis and 4 year old Rowan would probably not be together soon. Yet there was one thing eating at his brain.
"It involves Severus doesn't it?"
Blinking a bit, Sirius looked at his husband and nodded. "Yes it does, it seems Harry had a slight "fling" with the Potions Master but it doesn't seem to be ending."
Smirking a bit Remus stroked Solstice's dark beige hair back a bit. "I think we were a bad influence for him," Remus joked.
Shaking his head, Sirius let out a small snicker and kissed Remus' lips. "You have a warped sense of humor love, but I'm glad you're home," he whispered out.
Finally the little girl in her daddy's lap spoke up, her small voice breaking up the Harry and Snape joke. "Papa made you a present."
Looking down at his daughter Remus looked at Sirius and smiled. "Another present?" Remus mused.
Giving Solstice a mock glare Sirius softly ruffled her soft hair and stood up. "Well not just a present for you but for the family," Sirius stated. Walking into the house he came back a few moments later, a piece of circular, smoothed wood in his hands. Moving to stand in front of Remus he turned the wood so he could see what was on the wood. It was a black background with silver diamond shapes, followed by a full moon. Towards the bottom of the sign there is a small hill with two grown wolves it seems life and two little wolf pups, across the sign in a golden paint are the words Wolven Hill.
Smiling brightly Remus looked up at Sirius. "Thank you love, it's perfect," he said. "It's perfect for this family."
"Yes," Solstice said softly, nodding her head. Beaming Sirius looked around and moved to hang the sign on the porch so all visitors knew where they were. Where the wolf can roam free under the watchful eye of his mate and two pups.
The end…? Only for now
