Author's Note: I cannot express how sorry I am to all of you for not uploading and taking forever. Honestly, fanfiction has been in the back of my mind. Life has been complicated and my job consumed my life. Things are turning around, though. I apologize again and I'm so happy that I still have readers. I will do a one-shot final battle sequel if it requested enough, but other than that, this is it! I hope you all enjoy and it puts a cap on this story. Thank you all again!
Harry made to turn in his sleep, but the resistance across his waist woke him. He blinked the sleep from his eyes and gently pulled away from the arm over his waist.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sirius asked, pulling Harry closer to his body and trapping him against his chest.
"To stand and stretch?" Harry offered. Sirius growled, fully awake. He grabbed Harry's waist and pulled him down to lay flat on his back while Sirius straddled his waist. Harry's face flooded with color.
"Sirius, wh-what are you d-doing?" Harry stuttered out. Sirius grinned and leaned forward, shoving his nose into the crook of his mate's neck. Harry, instinctively, bared his neck and bit back a moan. Sirius ran the bridge of his nose along the expanse of pale skin. Sweet sun and dark musk filled Sirius' senses. He pushed against the pale expanse. Harry arched his back reaching up to push Sirius off in a feeble attempt. Sirius grabbed both of Harry's wrists and pinned them to the bed above the teen's head. Sirius adjusted himself so that he was between the teen's legs instead of trapping them beneath his body. Harry made no move to get free as he stared at his mate.
"Keep your hands down, I don't want to tie you up just yet." Harry heard the wanton moan leave his mouth before he even realized it was his flooded his abdoment at the thought and hips bucked against the older man. He could feel sweet heat pool in his abdomen and flare with every finger that Sirius laid on him.
"It seems that's something you want, well, maybe if you're naughty-," Sirirus began, snaking a hand between their bodies.
"Sirius Black." A voice bit out. Sirirus shot back, pushing his body away from Harry's and on to his knees. Harry snapped his legs shut and wished that the blankets would swallow him whole. Sirius flew up off the bed and threw himself back into a chair. Harry lied there, stunned by his mate's action but also embarassed to be caught. Remus' tawny head popped between the curtains around the bed. His bright eyes trained on Sirius.
"Can't you at least wait until we get back to Grimmauld before you jump this poor boy's bones?!" Remus spat in a hushed tone. Harry straightened himself out, pulling his body up to sit comfortably against the pillows. Sirius thre himself down in a nearby chair, jutting out his jaw in defiance. Remus rolled his eyes before righting himself and turning back out of the curtain.
"Yes, they're awake Madam Pomfrey. I think it would be most beneficial to the school to get Harry cleared for dischagre and to get Sirius out of your hair." Pomfrey laughed from behind him and pulled the curtains open. She waved her hand and the curtains pulled apart and came to a stop at the headboard. A thin string wrapped around the curtain ends and tied itself in to a bow. Harry watch it, curious, before meeting his mate's eyes. The older man nodded at the string.
"Ya know, that's a simple charm. Could definitely come in handy, love." He remarked.
Harry flushed and Remus's hand found the back of his friend's head.
…...
"Harry." Sirius called out to his mate. Harry looked up from his bag on the bed, pulling out a few more items and setting them on the duvet. The group returned to Grimmauld not even an hour later after Madam Pomfrey's approval. Harry was healed as much as the potions allowed. There were still minors aches and new scars, but nothing that time wouldn't mend.
"Yes, Sirius. I'm in my room." Harry responded. He picked up his bag and turned, squeezing it flat and throwing it underneath the bed. He picked up the items on the bed and set them on the dresser, but placed the cloth wrapped ring inside the top drawer fro safe keeping.
"Harry." Sirius said again, now standing in the door way. His voice was low and rough, sending a shiver down his younger mate's spine. Harry swivelled his body, leaning back against the dresser. Sirius stood in simple black trousers and button up shirt that was half undone, revealing sparse curls underneath.
"Yes, Sirius." Harry could feel intensity rolling off the man. Harry stepped closer, eyes lowering to the floor as he walked. Sirius moved fast, closing the door and propelling himself at the teen. Harry felt his breath rush from his lungs as the man's weight hit him. In no time, Harry was pinned across the bed with Sirius burying his nose into his mate's neck and dark hair. Harry rolled his hips, taken by the feeling. A small moan tore itself from Harry's mouth as the other's tongue explored the pale skin. Teeth nipped along his neck before sinking down at his collarbone. Harry bucked his body up against his mate, a loud yelp escaping his throat and settling into a wanton moan as Sirius lapped at the mark.
"Siri, please." Harry begged, rolling his hips again. Sirius smirked, finally pulling back to look upon his mate. The color in Harry's eyes was nearly non-existant, his pupils blown wide with pleasure. Sirius dipped his head and claimed his mate's lips. Harry moaned into his mouth, wrapping his arms around Sirius's neck. Sirius broke away and pinned Harry's wrists to the bed. Wordlessly, he waved his hand and the cords holding the curtains of the four-post bed unwrapped themselves from the fabric and looped around Harry's wrists. They stretch Harry's arms upward and fastened themselves to the bed frame. With other flick of the wrist, Sirius had banished Harry's shirt and jeans. Harry lied spread out in just his black boxer briefs.
"Harry, if you don't stop me, I won't let you go." Harry huffed with annoyance.
"I don't want you to let me go, Siri. I've been waiting for this my whole life." He said, eyes bright with unshed tears. Sirius sat back on his heels and reached out to cup his mate's cheek. Harry leaned into the touch, closing his eyes. Sirius brought his hand up and brush awaythe thick mop of hair before settling in for another kiss.
"I would have never known, Harry. I would have died and I wouldn't have ever found my mate in you. I'm still shocked that it's been you this entire time. I was ready to give up and you fell from time, Harry. From time! Who would have ever thought?" Harry chuckled.
"Hey, it wasn't my first choice. But I'm happy. I finally feel happy. There are still some things left to deal with, but I have you and Remus here with me this time. I have a whole leg up on Voldmort. I have my soulmate, right here, in my lap and I'm not going to let you go." Harry spoke softly. Each word spoken felt like physical caress along Sirius' body. He leaned down and nuzzled his nose into his mate's neck.
"And I, absolutely, refuse to give you up for any reason. You are mine now, Harry. I hope I can make you happy." Harry chuckled deep in his throat, rolling his hips in effort to grind against the other.
"I dont doubt that you can one bit." Harry said, stretching his neck to kiss his mate.
"Good, then that means I can have you over, and over, and over, and over-," Sirius started. Harry began to struggle as Sirius stepped away and stripped himself bare. Harry felt heat coil tighter in his abdomen at each article that hit the floor. Sirius smirked, devoring Harry's body with his eyes.
"Oh yes, we're going to have a very long night, love."
Harry couldn't help his grin.
…...
"So, Harry, what are we going to do now?" Remus asked as they sat in the kitchen the next morning. Harry lounged against the counter, nursing the hot cuppa he held. He closed his eyes and tilted his head back, long tresses falling free around his shoulders.
"We need to move in on his base. We need to locate him. He doesn't move into Malfoy manner until what was supposed to be my seventh year. Nagini is the only horcrux that remains. Sirius helped me destroy the others last night." Remus raised his eyebrows at this.
"Oh, you had time for that?" He teased. Harry's face flushed deeply just as Sirius waltzed into the room.
"Bambi, no need to be embarassed. You definitely weren't shy last night." Harry struggled to keep his mug in his hands, eyes wide.
"SIRIUS." He spat out. The older man simply waggled his eye brows at his mate as he took a seat across Remus. The tawny haired man gestured to his mug and then the kettle on the stove. Sirius nodded and made to reach for his wand in his pocket. Harry waved his hand and summoned the kettle wordlessly. Sirius smiled and sit back, watching Harry effortlessly prepare his cuppa. Remus watched, fascinated by the movements.
"Where do you think he'd be Harry?" Sirius asked. Harry hummed to himself.
"I can only think to investigate if there is an old Riddle property or if he would be residing with Pettigrew." The other men nodded, sipping at their mugs.
"Just the three of us then?" Harry nodded at Remus.
"Severus, too, of course. He has volunteered to help. He has faith in us." A bitter expression crossed their faces before settling on something more comprehensive.
"Well, the more the merrier." Sirius said, rasing his mug. Harry smiled brightly. Warmth blossomed in his chest. At this moment, he couldn't have been any happier. He had waited so long for this moment, went through so much just feel loved this unconditionally. Yes, there was more to come. But right now...this had been everything he had ever wanted.
…...
"He made it." Adam said aloud, running his fingers in his curly hair.
'Of course he did.'
"You know, you could try not to sound so cocky." Adam flopped down on his bench seat, glancing over his work top and grabbing his latest invention to toy with.
'I'm not cocky, I'm confindent.' Adam threw his head back in a laugh. He died down shortly, waitching the images that Fate flashed across his mind.
"There are so many options, dear. I know my Harry. He will not let us down. Harry will make the best choices." He could feel Fate agree with him.
"It will be ending soon. We can only watch from afar at this point. I will avoid contact until it is over. I do not trust myself to not influence his choices for the better. I will trust that he will trust himself to protect us all." Fate's presence flared with warmth before leaving completely. Adam stared down at the invention in his hands before tossing it back on the desk. With a sigh, he kicked his feet up on the desk and leaned back in his chair. There was nothing straining the universe for once at the moment. If he could freeze time, it would be now. Harry was truly happy. The Dark Lord was in limbo, not sure to carry on or retreat with Harry's threat.
A small gold bead fell into the glass jar across the room, signifying another soul bond had been consumated. Adam chuckled.
"And ten points to Gryffindor!" He shouted, laughing and spinning around in his chair.
