A/N: Blame the next six chapters on a PM from Andie! She (he?) asked for them very politely. I don't want to offend them, since they left a wonderful PM that brightened my morning! Whew, been a while since I took on so many chapters... But I have little reason not to work on them other than the fact that I am a lazy butt.

DISCLAIMER: No matter how much I wave my wand, I will never own Sev and our favorite green-eyed Wizard. *sobs*

WARNING: Yaoi is an important part of these. Please desist in flaming.

P.S. There may be more than one title that gets a continuation; Dragon's Might, Dragon's Might II... etc.

-Previously On...-

Seventeen profanity-filled hours later, Harry was back in Nundu form and suckling their cubs. They were beautiful; sleek black fur covered the tiny kittens as they snuggled against his now-content husband.

-I think I can wait between litters.-

"I think you should. Where did you learn all that cursing from?"

-Mostly Salazar and, believe it or not, Draco. You never curse... Why is that?-

Harry's paws thudded across the stone floors of Hogwarts, intent on his prey. With a snarl he caught the squirming bundle up and trooped up to the Astronomy Tower. Setting down the bundle, he shifted form quicker than thought.

"Altaïr, shift back." His contrite cub sighed and shifted into a small eight year-old with golden eyes. Long inky hair was captured in a ponytail, the brat having held still long enough this morning to put it there.

"Papa, Gabe and Seb ganged up on me..."

"I know that Al, but you can't bite them. Our saliva is poisonous to others and if you bit a regular-"

"I wouldn't! It hurt and I hate that they do that to me." his youngest snarled, baring tiny fangs.

"I think it's long past time since we had a Talk."

He stared down his middle and eldest cubs, green eyes narrowed in cold disinterest.

"I'll leave your Father to discuss your punishment for biting your brother." The boys took all of a second to look at each other before the apology was spilling forth.

"Sorry Altaïr! We won't do it again!" Harry smiled softly as his cubs dragged his youngest into playing a game of aerial tag on brooms.

"You really should have been in Slytherin, kitten." Severus murmured as he wrapped Potion-stained fingers around Harry's slim waist and pulled him close.

"Stop that. You know if you kindle my Heat we have more of those brats." His husband merely sighed before spinning him into a heated kiss against the wall. "Mmm, never mind." He crooned as Severus's big, warm hands caressed his sides as they indulged in a heavy make-out session.

"Pro-Ah! My eyes!" Harry smiled against his husband's lips, pulling back to give Sev a soft peck.

"You didn't want to talk to him."

"I dislike his theory on my Wolfsbane Potion for your other mutt."

"Rem is not a mutt. You just don't like him because he stares you down when our cubs aren't looking." Harry purred back, "But I am interested in his theory."

"That boy thinks that your godfather should go without it. Something about freeing his 'inner beast', causing massive cutbacks on his age and that Wolfsbane offers 'false hope' to the werewolf community." Remus was happy with Sirius, bearing him cubs and drinking Wolfsbane only a week. Harry narrowed his eyes and snarled lowly at the thought of Remus in pain again. "Harry? Kitten, you've got a murderous look on your face."

"Remus is fine. Why would he want to discredit your work?"

"Upstart Potions student. Do not think anything of him."

"I'll be right back, Sev." With that, he bound down the hall in Nundu form, this time on silent cats' feet.


He waited patiently for the upstart to appear from his Charms class. The students avoided him, seeming to sense he was not in the mood for a quick pet or stroke. His tail thumped as the student took sight of him and fled. A steady lope kept him even with the panicked teen. Once cornered, the kid curled into a ball and blubbered as Harry crouched for a lunge. He shifted back, ears back as he hissed furiously, "How dare you? Discrediting my husband's work, trying to cause pain to the only family I have left and now you are trying to get rid of Wolfsbane from the Ministry's List!"

"It's a sub-acidic poison!"

"Liar. Severus never brews anything without testing it." Fire flashed in his eyes, his tail twitching as he circled closer. "Why. Are. You. Doing. This?" Exaggerating the venom in which he snarled the words; Harry allowed the low growl to frighten the kid into complacency.

"He's a Death Eater! Why should he have the ability to freely make a Potion he invented?"

"Thank you, Harry. Well, you're coming to the Ministry." Kingsley said mildly after breaking his Disillusionment Charm.

"What! I- How can you do that?"

"That's what happens when you try to bugger over my husband." he growled, baring his fangs.

"Who are you?"

"What don't recognize this?" Harry casually brushed aside his side-swept bangs to reveal the scar that had changed his life and that of countless others.

"No."

"Yes, and for your information, this was an inside Auror job. My husband's work has allowed for greater equality. I'll not have your stupidity messing it up."

-PoV-

Severus corralled their cubs that night, hopelessly wishing that his kitten was here.

"I'm telling you that Puddlemere's better than th' Magpies!" Gabriel protested, claws out as he emphasized his point.

"No! Magpies have had the Championship for four years runnin'!" Sebastian hissed, tail lashing.

"Cubs. You will desist in shouting. Discuss this rationally... if you can." he said in a repressed voice, directing his ire into his gaze.

"Only 'cause Papa sponsors them." came the heated retort from Gabriel.

"Better brooms, better trainers an' tips don't count, Gabe. Dad?" He sighed, despising this argument.

"I am not particularly fond of Quidditch and you know this well, my cubs. Ask your Papa when he gets back, but for the love of Merlin, in the meantime, speak of something else."

He was nursing a pounding headache by the time Harry returned from the high-profile trial. The first thing he did was embrace his kitten, breathing in the warm scent of cinnamon, forests and Harry. Their cubs followed, purring up a storm.

"I missed you, kitten." he murmured into Harry's neck, where he planned on staying for at least another ten minutes. "I love you."

"I love you, Severus." Sebastian, Gabriel and Altaïr gagged and retreated to the couch as they stood with arms around one another, rocking in place.

"Harry, I heard-Oh."

"Don't wanna move, 'Mione. Can you take the cubs? I promise you can get some alone time with me later."

"Are you three ready for a sleep-over?"

"Aunty, can we really?"

"Go, brats. Before your Papa and I gross you out even further." Quick hugs and kisses were exchanged before the cubs were over at the Weasley's and they were alone for the first time in weeks. "How did it go?"

-SEX SCENE-

"Mmm, delicious way to wake up, if you ask me." Harry purred as he licked away the sticky come.

"If you don't stop that, we'll have to go for another round, kitten." Severus said with a sly smirk. "I mean that. Reparo." He grinned sheepishly at his claws and then at the sheets.

"Sorry?"

Ending A/N: Ahahahaha! As always, folks, ASK ME FOR DRABBLES!
