A/N: Thank you to everyone who gave me good reviews and constructive criticism and not that the person who said my story was stupid, you suck.
Warning: The third section has a rather strange slash scene, I not sure if I like it but decided to keep it.
Lucius was shocked when he heard about Damien's dream and agreed that Sirius and Severus' assumption was correct. Their was only one person it could be and that was Lord Voldemort. The problem was that, that left many unanswered questions, questions that only Voldemort himself could answer. But how would they even go about giving Voldemort his body back? Was it even a good idea?
"The only thing I can think to do is bring back the Dark Lord, but how?" Lucius said. Severus looked pensive like he knew of an answer but wasn't sure if it would work. Sirius however wasn't completely convinced, what if Voldemort went after his son again? Would he be strong enough to even protect his son from a Dark Lord? Probably not, Sirius conceded within his own mind.
"Are we sure this is a good idea? I mean he tried to kill Damien once and were not entirely sure what his reasoning was." Sirius said looked very worried. Severus took his submissive husband into his arms and held him close. There was no way for Severus to completely reassure Sirius, just as there was no way to truly know what Voldemort's reasons were with out returning him to his body.
"We'll never know unless we bring him back. But as a precaution, Damien and Draco shouldn't be in the manor when we do this. We should send them to Fenrir and Remus, Fenrir will protect him as he would his own cub and if anything went wrong he would send them to the pack." Severus mused.
"We're actually going to do this." Sirius whispered more to himself than to Lucius or Severus. If he was truthful with himself Sirius would admit that he was scared. He was scared that if something went wrong that he would die and leave his son when he just found him.
Hearing the plan that his future brother in-law came up Regulus thought him insane. So much could go wrong, while yes it would give the Dark Lord his body back but at what cost. The person acting as the foci in the ritual could have all their energy drained until they dropped dead.
Lucius had wanted to be the foci but Severus wouldn't hear of it. Severus could never do that to Draco, if Lucius wasn't strong enough Draco would be left an orphan. No one wanted that, so Severus decided to be the Foci.
Tomorrow the Dark Lord may be back and no one could honestly say they weren't scared. Perhaps he wouldn't go after them but if he went after Damien they would all stand in his way. Not one of them was powerful enough to take on the Dark Lord and they all knew it. Everyone was still arguing Lucius not wanted Severus to risk himself and Severus not wanting Lucius to risk himself. Regulus finally had enough.
"Stop fighting, it has to be someone with the dark mark so I'll do it." Regulus said in a strong and calm voice. Shocked silence rang through the room, Lucius and Severus looking at Regulus like he had lost his mind, while Sirius looked at him with tears in his eyes. When the shock wore off Sirius walked up to Regulus and pulled him into his arms.
"No, little brother you won't be there, I need you to be with Damien. If someone happens to me and Severus I want you to be the one to raise Damien. To raise him as your own, please do this for me." Sirius whispered to Regulus. At first Regulus looked like he would argue but after he heard Sirius' reasoning he nodded his head silently. "Thank you." Sirius whispered then kissed Regulus on the head.
Regulus left the room blinking back tears. He didn't even want to think about losing his big brother who was more like a father to him even though Sirius was only a year older than him. But he would do what he had to do and if the worse happened and Sirius was lost to him he would be the best damn father to Damien that he could possibly be.
Walking down the hall Regulus finally realize where he was. He stopped in front of Damien's door hesitating unsure if he should enter. Finally after a couple of minutes Regulus entered and stopped short. Damien was sitting on his bed with his legs drawn up to his chest sobbing while rocking back and forth.
Cerberus was scared his little master was upset and he didn't know how to help. Hearing the door opened Cerberus turned ready to attack if need be. Seeing a man that looked a lot like his little master and smelled a lot like him to Cerberus decided he'd help not harm. Jumping off of the bed Cerberus ran to the man and grabbed the bottom of his pants in his mouth and tugged.
Regulus was knocked out of his shock when he felt a tugging on his pant leg. Looking down he saw a tiger cub who looked like he was urging him to go to Damien. Realizing this cub most of been Damien's familiar Cerberus that Sirius told him about, he did as Cerberus was urging him to.
Getting onto the bed Regulus knelt down in front of Damien. He reached out intending to bring Damien into his arms but as soon as his hand grazed Damien, Damien flinched badly. Backing up a bit Regulus began to speaking softly.
"Little one, it's okay I'm not going to hurt you. It's your Uncle Reggie do you remember me?" Damien peeked out of his arms. "See, Damien I'm here everything is going to be okay." Damien launched himself into Regulus' arms. Regulus held Damien tightly to him and kissed his head.
"I'm scared, stay please." Damien said quietly as if he was scared to ask, afraid that perhaps the answer would be no. Regulus did answer in words but rather with his actions. Placing Damien under the covers Regulus toed out of shoes and settled under the covers next to Damien. Damien cuddled up to Regulus' side and Regulus wrapped an arm around him. Now feeling safe Damien drifted off to sleep quickly.
Severus and Sirius went up to there rooms, knowing this may be their last night together. Unknown to Severus Sirius was plotting wanting to felt his dominate in all ways in case this was the last time. Sirius went into the room thinking furiously about a way to get himself a hard spanking right now and then a hard fucking right after.
But it seemed he wouldn't have to plot at all, for it seem Severus knew his mind and told him to remove all of his clothes. Once all his clothes were off Sirius noticed for the first time the paddle in his fiancé's hand. Sirius assumed his position bent over the edge of the bed with his butt high in the air.
Severus ran the paddle over Sirius' bare bottom and couldn't help but wonder if this was really what Sirius wanted. He knew that he wanted to assert his dominance in all ways one last time just in case. But, was that what Sirius wanted. Sirius seemed to know his internal debate and put him at ease.
"I want you to. I want to feel your dominance in everyway because this may be the last time." Sirius said quietly. Severus had tears and his eyes and he choked on any verbal reply he could have had but started to bring the paddle down hard upon Sirius' bottom. The paddling lasted for a good half hour before the paddle could be heard clattering to the floor.
"All fours in the middle of the bed." Severus ordered and Sirius complied as quickly as he could with his sore bottom. Severus dipped his hand into the tub of lube they kept on the bedside table. Thrusting one finger into Sirius' tight entrance Severus moaned at the feeling of Sirius' tight hole and the heat from Sirius' well paddled bottom.
Sirius was prepared quickly and then Severus thrust his cock into Sirius' entrance. Even though Severus wanted to pound Sirius into the mattress he gave Sirius time to adjust. When Sirius thrust back Severus started a fast and hard pace pounding into his submissive.
It was fast and more brutal than anything else but neither man would have it any other way. If it was to be their last time together they wanted it exactly this way. It was a comfort to them to feel this as it could be the last time.
Waking up in the middle of the night Severus reached over to pull Sirius into his arms but came up with nothing but air. Sitting up Severus looked around the room finding no sign of Sirius but seeing his dressing gown missing. Sighing Severus got out of bed and pulled on a pair of sleeping pants, swearing to himself that if Sirius was doing something stupid he would give him a sound strapping no matter how sore his butt may be.
Finding Sirius Severus' mood soften marginally as Sirius was standing in the doorway to Damien's room obviously looking in on his son. Severus pulled Sirius into his and Sirius hissed when his very sore bottom made contact with Severus's hard body but made no move to pull away in the least. Seeing Damien lying in Regulus' arms Severus smiled faintly to himself. Yes, it was clear that they made the correct decision Regulus would be perfect to raise Damien if they couldn't.
"Are we doing the right thing? What if everything blows up in our faces? If I released a man that would try to kill my son, I would never be able to forgive myself." Sirius whispered quietly to not wake either Damien or Regulus. Severus kissed Sirius on the back of the neck to try and reassure him.
"We have to do this, if it ends up being a mistake then we have to pray that Regulus is strong enough to protect Damien until he is old enough to come into his powers fully." Severus quietly spoke. Sirius nodded his head knowing that his dominate was right.
Sirius was glad that Regulus would be there for Damien. He loves his little brother and would have never let him be present when they attempt to bring back the Dark Lord. Damien just gave him the perfect excuse to keep Regulus away. But what he had said was true, if himself and Severus couldn't be there for Damien he wanted him to be with family. The only family he trusted enough with his own son was Regulus.
The morning dawn to an awkward uncomfortable feeling through out Malfoy Manor. The adults despairing about what was to come within that day and the children feeling the adults worry. When the time came to take the children away Damien didn't want to leave is Daddy and Papa. But finally they were able to get him to got but he clutching to his stuffed Moony and Paddy while being carried on the hip of Regulus, Cerberus trailing dutifully behind. Draco was much easier to get to go, he just wanted to stay with his little cousin and held Regulus hand as they went through the floo.
Fenrir and Remus were waiting on the other side of the floo. Both men looked worriedly at Damien's condition knowing being away from his Daddy for the first time since going to him would be difficult. Remus was distracted when Draco ran into his arms and lifted the little boy onto his hip.
"Hey cub, everything is okay why the long face?" Fenrir said quietly to Damien but Damien didn't respond and just kept his face buried in Regulus' shoulder. Fenrir sighed and kissed Damien on the head. He never was good at comforting people, he just didn't know what to say.
Regulus sat down on a sofa with Damien in his lap, Damien curled up and promptly fell asleep. Looking down at the little boy in his arms Regulus knew that he had to strong for even though all he wanted to do was fall apart. His brother is everything to him but his brother wanted him to do this and for him he would.
Remus took Draco out of the room presumably to play somewhere. He offered to take Damien but Regulus refused to be parted with him, understandable as he promised to protect the boy. Fenrir was feeling bad, Damien had always liked him so much and now he won't even look at him.
"Its not you, you know." Regulus said and Fenrir's head snapped up. "He's scared and worried, I think he knows more about what's going on then any of us really know. Damien loves you but because he's worried about his Daddy he clings to me. I'm so like my brother that he takes comfort in that." Fenrir knew it made sense Damien was always a bright boy even when such intelligence wasn't nurtured at the Potter's.
"I know but I would do anything for that little boy, hell I have. He is my pup even if I didn't father him." Fenrir said looking upon Damien with a fond smile. Regulus also smiled thinking that Fenrir would make a good father someday.
Regulus just opened his mouth to comment when a loud crash was heard from above them. Starting to get up Regulus was immediately motioned to keep his seat by Fenrir and Fenrir took off out of the room. Upon reaching the upper floor hallway Fenrir knew exactly what happened.
Draco and Remus were staring mournfully at a knocked over table and vase because they knew a spanking was to come, and they were right. Seeing Fenrir approach both of their eyes widened, they had hoped Regulus would be the one who came. It was foolish really, of course Regulus would be the one to stay with Damien.
Fenrir didn't say a word just picking up Draco and grabbing firmly onto Remus' arm. Not believing that they would actually do this, Remus should know better Fenrir screamed in his head. Letting go of Remus Fenrir opened the door to their room.
"Remus into the room and you better be the way your supposed to be when I get back." Fenrir said shortly to Remus. Nodding Remus walked into the room closing the door behind himself. Fenrir sighed and walked to his study, he really didn't need this right now not with everything go on. Closing the door to the study Fenrir put Draco down and sat on the sofa in the room.
"Draco I wish I didn't have to spank you but you can't run around in the halls and knock things over. It could be very dangerous to yourself and others. Now place yourself face down over my lap you will be getting five swats" Fenrir said clearly but with a sad expression on his face.
Draco for his part was scared Fenrir was so much bigger than his Daddy and Uncle Sev, the only people to ever spank him. But Draco knew there was no way out of this and resignedly place himself over Fenrir's lap. Fenrir used a swat somewhere in-between a light and medium swat. Draco was in tears by the third swat, Fenrir spanked so hard, he thought. After the fifth swat Draco was given a hug then he went automatically to the corner.
Fenrir left for his room he shared with Remus trying to think of what Remus would be spanked with before finally decided on a strap right before getting to their room. Walking in Fenrir didn't speak to Remus seeing he was naked, in the corner as he should be and just walked over to the cabinet he kept everything he used for spankings.
Remus shut his eyes, any hope he had that he would get a hand spanking was out of the window. It wasn't long before he heard Fenrir's barked order, "assume the position". Rushing to comply Remus bent over the footboard as he does for every spanking that was not a hand spanking. Seeing the strap Remus sucked in a ragged breath, he hated the strap.
The strapping began and Remus was propelled into the hardwood footboard. It hurt but Remus knew from experience that Fenrir wasn't strapping him as hard as he could. Fenrir kept strapping Remus for a time that seemed like an eternity. Remus knew he won't be sitting comfortably for a long while. Seeing the strap put down on the bed Remus knew not to get up until he was told to. The one spank with Fenrir's hand he got after everything spanking excluding hand spanking fell causing Remus to go onto the tips of his toes and knowing it was full force.
"Corner Remus, I am very disappointed in you. You should know better, I expect this kind of thing for Draco not you." Fenrir sighed and heard a mumbled "yes master". Remus went into the corner and thought of how stupid he was, he did know better.
Setting up for the ritual Severus wished he didn't need to be naked to be the foci. The clothes would effect the casting and possible make it impossible to call the Dark Lord, so Severus be naked whether he liked it or not. Severus knelt in the middle of a circle of ruins Lucius wrote on the ground in animals blood. Lucius started the chant and was quickly joined by Sirius.
"By the power of the all seeing return to the plane of the living. Body to join soul. Thou who have been wronged, come to reclaim what should have been. With the power of one mark by you cross the last divide. Come to us join us once again." They chanted it five times while walking around the circle counterclockwise sprinkling phoenix ash over the ruins.
As soon as the last word of the fifth chant was said a bright white light blasted from the circle of ruins temporarily blinding the three men. When the light dimmed and their vision returned they saw the sight of a naked fifteen year old in the circle next to Severus. At first they thought it didn't work but then the teenager spoke and they knew it had.
"Oh Merlin, I tried to, I tired to kill him. My mate!" The boy yelled before collapsing into sobs. Severus' heart ached for the boy who he knew had been manipulated so badly in his previous life. It was already obvious to everyone present that what the assumed as true but they would still ask needing to know all.
Severus pulled the former Dark Lord into his arms. Lord Voldemort is now the Tom Riddle from decades ago. Tom clutched onto Severus and cried his heart out. Cried for all the pain he caused, cried for not being able to stop himself, cried for the first time since his fifteenth birthday.
