Chapter 4

Salik Tallin meet Harry Potter

By: Bored-Is-My-Favorite-Word

Understandingly anyone would want to postpone the meeting between your future spouse that you never knew you had but really this was getting slightly ridiculous.

"Mr. Potter I can understand the need to want to wait a little while but your working on Potions to avoid him! I insist you come and meet him this instant he has been anxious to see you," McGonagal stated putting her foot down. Harry had done everything in his ability to not meet with Salik from begging for detentions, to hiding in the Forbidden Forest.

"But Professor I really need to finish this assignment right now," he complained as she dragged him out of the library and towards the place the visitors were staying.

"You have a week to finish that as Professor Snape has kindly informed me. Really Mr. Potter I never pinned you as someone to hide from anything," she retorted. Harry didn't answer instead wrenching himself out of her grip but following her towards the rooms. He started whistling the funeral march out loud making McGonagal cover a snort instead giving him a disapproving frown.

"This is the place Potter please try not to insult anyone in here," she said and Harry snorted at her.

"I'm not making any promises, could you please inform anyone in there that Harry Potter has come?" he asked politely and the girl in the painting giggled before leaving. She came back a minute later opening the portrait with a curtsy.

Harry took a breath before climbing into the hole. No one was in the common room so he looked around at the place instantly liking it for its huge comfortable looking armchairs. It was made out of nice shades of purples and creams giving it a comfy appearance. There were no pictures on the walls, but a single tapestry with a royal purple coat of arms stitched into it. It was of two panther like animals who were reared up ready to strike and a pair of swords crossed above them. A phrase was written below it in what seemed like gaelic, Harry was enraptured by the panthers noticing that they seemed to have purple eyes like Salik's.

"That is the Coat of arms for the Royal family of Laquexia," stated a voice and Harry looked up, slightly startled, at the person talking matching purple and green eyes as Salik descended the stairs with a proud smirk on his face. Harry tilted his head looking between him and the tapestry.

"Those aren't actual panthers are they?" he asked and got an approving look from the prince. Salik walked towards him until they stood next to each other facing the tapestry. Harry ignored the heat that spread through his body at the close quarters to the boy next to him.

"No," he replied pointing at the purple eyes, "They are the guardians of Laquexia, Shadow Cats who live on the Island protecting it from harm. They occasionally bond with a human from the royal family. The purple eyes signify the bond to Laquexia and so the Royal Family adopted them as the animal and the color purple as the states colors. Which is also why the Crest is purple," he explained, Harry was genuinely interested as he stared at the shadow cats, he could have sworn he had seen one of them before…

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves," Salik said and Harry finally turned away from the tapestry flushing slightly when he saw Salik was staring at him as if fixated.

"Uh…Okay?" Harry asked more then stated, scratching his head before sticking his hand out, "My names Harry Potter, resident boy hero of Hogwarts," he said a corky grin settling on his face, Salik let a smile of his own appear.

"Salik Tallin Prince of the Dementors," he said with a flourish and grabbed his hand bringing it up to his lips and kissing it. Harry felt a spark of heat hit where his lips touched and he carefully took his hand away ignoring the satisfied and slightly smug look on the others face.

"So I've heard," Harry said dryly getting a quizzical look from Salik. Harry decided to elaborate fully, "Me and Dementors seem to always be in a disagreement whenever we meet."

A look of recognition filtered across his face and he gave a smirk, "Oh right now I remember, you're the one who made a patronus at thirteen to fend off the dementors. I remember because the council was in a huge uproar over it because the dementors had attacked you. It was hilarious, I have never seen those pompous idiots so ruffled over something before," he said and Harry let a smirk fly across his face.

"Good to know I completely messed them up because the next day I hurt like a fucking bitch," he said. Salik looked a little surprised by his language before a surprised laugh burst out.

"You are the most surprising person I have ever met, except maybe my sister, but I personally think she's just psychotic," he said before instantly looking like he regretted his words. Harry however just laughed at what he said and his reaction.

"Don't worry, there isn't much you can say that will phase me. You don't have to act so uptight, loosen up!" he commanded and Salik scowled slightly the tenseness in his shoulders leaking away.

"I am not uptight!" he stated indignantly and Harry felt a smirk rise on his face. "Denial is not just a river in Egypt," he sung and Salik steamed silently.

"Anyway," Salik said louder changing the subject, "Let's get down to business shall we?" he asked and Harry felt an apprehensive feeling leek through him as the other boy suddenly turned serious. Harry felt his mouth go dry but determinedly kept gaze with the other silently cursing in his head as he had to tilt his head up to look at the snow haired prince.

Salik motioned for them to sit on the couch and was amused that Harry sat as far away from him as possible if a little annoyed. However he calmed himself rationalizing that Harry had no idea what to expect from him and for all he knew he was going to molest him at the earliest convenience. Salik let his eyes wonder Harry's form, subtly taking in his smooth tanned skin and emerald eyes, now that he thought of it that didn't seem like such a bad idea.

Harry was quickly becoming annoyed as they sat in silence on the couch and he started to fidget biting his lip and tapping his leg in a rhythmic pattern. He felt like he was going to suffocate if the silence continued.

"What all did Dumbledore tell you?" Salik asked suddenly and Harry lurched slightly from the unexpected voice before thinking at his words. Harry thought for a second before explaining everything he knew to the other who was listening attentively. Finally once Harry was done Salik looked satisfied leaning back into his couch.

"Good he told you all of the basics of what is going on, I am the one who is supposed to inform you of everything else," he said before scrunching his eyebrows and taking in a breath of air. "As my mate there are of course many things you will need to learn as I am going to be King soon. That means we have only a small amount of time to get you up to speed. You will need to learn history, etiquette, and most important your individual duties. You will be ruling alongside me and therefore will need to know everything I know. Also you are in charge of the castle and its inhabitants meaning you will need to be introduced to the castle workers." He said and looked to see Harry's reaction to what he was being told. He had a pensive look but nodded to tell him to continue and he kept talking, "Laquexia has friendly relations with many magical creatures of all species including veela, vampire, werewolf, gnomes, goblins, and so on. You will need to learn the customs for these cultures as well so you don't mistakenly offend them."

Harry looked surprised by the admission of being on friendly relations with magical creatures but it was an excited surprise. He had always wanted to learn more about the magical creatures he had always dreamt about in his youth and now he was getting the chance to. He felt an excited flush spread across his cheeks before a thought came to him and he momentarily blanched. Salik saw his face start paling and felt sadness and slight anger that Harry was scared about meeting the other magical creatures. That was of course until Harry spoke what his real thought was.

"Um… if I'm your mate how is there supposed to be an heir to the thrown?" he asked and Salik blinked at him before a smirk spread across his face and he scooted closer to the wizard. Harry backed up into the arm rest leaning back as Salik leaned over him.

"Easy," he stated his breath brushing Harry's face, "It doesn't matter that you're a male, you are my mate so you will be able to bare MY children." Harry felt his eyes pop out of his head and a strangled noise popped from his throat.

"W-What?!" he questioned his voice coming out slightly high pitched, "b..but… how is that even possible?!" he questioned feeling slightly panicky.

"Magic of course," Salik said his smirk flaring up more when Harry scowled at him.

"I hate it when people say that when I ask a question," he pouted starting to calm down from the shock. He was still a little wary over the idea of having a kid but had calmed down to the fact now. He finally took in the position Salik had stealthily slipped into. Harry was curled up against the armrest and Salik leaning over him supporting himself on his arm trapping Harry against the couch.

"Why the sudden question over children? I could show you how it worked if you wanted?" he hinted a grin coming up as Harry stuck his tongue out. "No thank you I know where the hell babies come from," Harry said a scowl on his face although a slight blush stained his cheeks. Salik just sent him a smirk his smugness practically radiating from his face. Harry's scowl deepened even more as he turned his head away a huff crossing his lips.

"Now, now, don't get annoyed at me," Salik whispered tilting his face towards him his breath ghosting across his cheek. Harry felt the unnatural urge to just launch himself at the other and snog him senseless but quickly squashed down THAT idea with brutal force his embarrassment shining through the link as it was so strong. Salik let a hand rest on Harry's thigh giving it a light squeeze, Harry jumped at the action the attraction growing stronger. He suddenly felt panic over take him and with a large shove pushed Salik off of him and on to the floor. He was breathing heavy his face cherry red while Salik was blinking up at him frustration crawling on to his face.

"What was that for?!" he asked brashly forgetting his usually stoic façade in favor of getting an explanation as to why he was now sprawled on the ground like some toddler. Harry felt a brief flash of guilt before it was quickly overtaken by anger.

"Well sorry if I'm not some little bitch you can make out with whenever you want!" he snapped crossly. "I barely know you, and already you're trying to make out with me?"

Sin forced himself to calm down but by then Harry was already heading towards the door ready to cut this meeting short. Sin frantically crawled up from his position and ran over grabbing his wrist and holding tight enough so Harry couldn't get away but not tight enough that it would cause him harm. Harry whipped his head around ready to blast him to hell when he took a look at Sin's pleading face. He felt his insides melt at the look but kept up the angry look, although half-heartedly.

"I'm sorry it's just that this is the first time I have ever met my mate in person, and my instincts just took over for a minute. I should have met you when we were eleven, but I didn't which is very bad for someone like me," he said holding Harry's gaze captive, "You'll have to excuse my behavior, sometimes my instincts will take over randomly to help patch up the time we have not spent together."

Harry was in a conundrum as he looked at the other's heart felt face. He didn't know how but he knew he was telling the truth to him. Besides it's not like he had really done anything, just rubbed his thigh a little. He hadn't even kissed him or anything, which might have been the reason why he was miffed. Harry stared at the other speculatively before standing on his tip toes and pecking the other lightly on the cheek gaining a surprised look from Salik.

Harry gave the other a sly grin, "Luckily for you I don't have instincts, what you see is what you get. I'm warning you though I'm not going to be some docile little wife you keep around for your own amusement." He cautioned finally before slipping away and exiting the room a happy smile on his face.

Inside the room Salik slipped a hand up to his cheek Harry had kissed before doing something anyone in his court would have exclaimed over.

"YES!" he screamed punching his fist into the air.

Maybe this would turn out better then he expected.
