The Dark Heir
Author Notes:
Chapter 17: A Black Wynter
Harry, Delphi, and Tonks return home at the end of term.
The trio told their mothers what transpired at Hogwarts regarding the Philosopher's Stone when they returned home.
Worse was the encounter with their father, who didn't value their life or care that he was their children.
"That doesn't sound like him," says Bellatrix.
"Or he could have gone insane from his time in exile," says Andromeda.
Lily had remained silent. Thinking hard about the situation.
"What happens if the Dark Lord is a traitor to the cause?" asks Delphi.
"Well, another Dark Lord would be needed to overthrow the previous Dark Lord," says Bellatrix.
"Who could challenge the Heir of Slytherin?" asks Andromeda.
"We shouldn't overthink on the matter," says Lily.
Everyone looks at Lily.
"There are a lot of questions we don't have answers to. We will have to gather more information and see how things develop. We know the Dark Lord is not dead and seeking to regain a body. For now, we'll do nothing," says Lily.
No one said anything.
Andromeda and Bellatrix acknowledge Lily's wisdom.
There was nothing to be gained by discussing the Dark Lord's sanity and actions.
Much has changed in these past ten years.
The three mother's felt conflicted. In the past, during the height of Voldemort's first rise. They were drawn to him and wanted to be at his side.
Now with children and the son of their master, they found themselves with new priorities.
Lily herself was having a hard time coming to terms with accepting the fact that Voldemort was her father.
Lily looks at her son.
Her brother.
"By the way, we invited Artemis and her mother to visit us," says Harry.
Bellatrix grew an evil grin.
"Oh, you broke the young one, now you want her mother too," says Bellatrix.
"Rumors are surrounding the Wynter's," says Andromeda.
"Artemis says those are lies spread by Rita Skeeter," says Dora.
"I think Artemis father is her grandfather," says Harry.
The three mothers turn to look at him.
"That's not unheard of in the wizarding families. Andy and my parents were cousins and siblings. Inbreeding is one way of keeping your bloodline pure," says Bellatrix.
"It's not as common as it was during our time. Many families would look to their own cousins and relatives to keep the family bloodline strong," says Andromeda.
"The Wynter's. I believe Selena Wynter is the last of her family, along with her daughter," says Andromeda.
"Hounded in the Witch Weekly by Rita Skeeter," says Lily.
"Kreacher," says Bellatrix.
Kreacher quickly appears before them.
"Make preparations for Selena Wynter and her daughter," says Bellatrix.
"Yes, mistress," says Kreacher.
"Thank Merlin, we're home," says Dora throwing herself on the sofa.
"Potter," says Lily.
"Potter," says Dora in agreement.
"James Potter's arrogance may match his father's," says Delphi.
"Longbottom is worse," says Harry.
Lily grabs Harry and holds him tight.
Harry could feel his mother's breast and knew she wanted to snuggle.
Harry could sense something was on her mind, and she wanted to spend time with him.
Lily never told him what was on her mind, telling him he was too young to understand.
Harry knew he was the son of the Dark Lord.
Regulus Black, the man who was registered as his 'legal' father, had died before he was growing in his mother's womb.
Even so, it worked for his mother.
Harry holds his mother as she begins to drift, holding him.
Harry holds his mom and couldn't help but feel blessed. His mother would die and sacrifice herself for him.
Selena Wynter and Artemis show up at the Black family manor two days later.
Artemis immediately began to talk with Dora and Delphi.
Selena shows signs of how happy she was for her daughter.
Harry sits with his mother as Selena sits with them.
"There is something I want to ask," says Harry.
"What is it?" asks Selena.
Selena Wynter suspected the question.
"Is Artemis's father, your father?" says Harry.
Selena suspected Harry was going to ask about Artemis's father. She didn't expect that.
Selena nearly chokes on her tea.
"What gives you that impression?" says Selena.
"I'm well aware that in the wizarding world, fathers would educate their daughters. I'm guessing your father didn't take precautions with you and knocked you up during your easter or summer break," says Harry.
Selena looks at him cautiously.
"Artemis speaks highly of you. She trusts you. I'm glad you don't pay attention to Rita Skeeter's. I'll tell you about my past and how I came upon Artemis.
"As you suspect, my father did impregnate me during my summer break. You are correct. It is a somewhat tradition for wizarding families for fathers to educate their daughters. The reason behind this was to discover what their daughters like to find the proper suitor.
"My mother died when I was young. So my father had been alone for a long time. Until I turned fourteen, he was never neglected towards me. After my fourteenth birthday, and it began to blossom, he couldn't resist.
"In most occasions upon this day, there is a ceremony and preparations. For me, it was one of the worse days of my life. My father wasn't gentle nor caring. No matter how much I cried and pleaded, he tormented me.
"The pain I felt was unbearable. The moment I left for Hogwarts, I couldn't have been happier. By the time I realized I was pregnant, it was already too late.
"My fifth year was the worse as I showed signs of being pregnant. Back then, my father was the one who decided if I should have my unborn child terminated. He chose not to and refused to tell others what he did. When I gave birth to my daughter in the Hospital Wing, I didn't want my daughter to suffer my fate," says Selena.
"You killed him?" asks Lily.
Selena shook her head.
"My father would spend his time drunk in taverns and bars when I was at Hogwarts. One day, he got into a fight. In my seventh year, he was killed by several Death Eaters," says Selena.
"What does Rita Skeeter have against you?" asks Andromeda.
"I don't know to be honest. Given her personality and attitude, she most likely does this to get some attention. She likes to bully others within her collum," says Selena.
"Harry, why don't you go to your sisters and Artemis," says Lily.
Harry could see his mother wanted to speak to Selena alone.
She appeared given her beauty and how much of an older version of her daughter. He knew his aunts and mother would convert her to him.
Once Harry is gone, Lily turns to Selena.
"There is one question I have. Has this affected your relationship with your daughter?" asks Lily.
"Hardly. She knows we have the same father, and she's my daughter as much as my sister. Why?" asks Selena.
Lily looks down.
"I haven't told Harry this yet, but we also share the same father," says Lily.
Selena raises her eyebrow as she looks at Lily.
"I doubt Regulus Black is your father. He was born after you," says Selena.
"You have to understand the truth," says Lily.
Selena is in shock for the third time at the turn of events.
Lily explains how her father enchanted her and ensnared her into being his mistress. How she got pregnant, to discovering her true lineage.
"After I found out, I realized that my son is my brother," says Lily.
"You are conflicted. What's done is done. There is no point in dwelling in the past," says Selena.
Selena looks taken back for a moment. She suddenly realized what Lily was really saying.
"You indeed to develop yourself to him. To carry his child," says Selena.
"I don't know what to do. I love him, truly. He is growing into a wonderful wizard. But I don't know what will happen to our child. I have read some stories that some children become… abominations," says Lily.
"There is truth in those words. Too much inbreeding, the blood within the child will cause the child to become… an abomination. Not the monsters your thinking of, Lily. No, they will be somewhat insane and with unstable magic. Inbreeding is allowed, but it kept under control," says Andromeda.
"The Gaunts were known for their insanity. They would only breed the purest blood within their line," says Bellatrix.
"We'll discuss this later. Selena… you got a big night ahead for you," says Andromeda turning to Selena with a sly smile.
"Heh?" says Selena in surprise.
"You can't be serious! He's barely twelve!" says Selena.
"You know the traditions and laws. There is nothing that says you can't bind yourself to a young lord," says Bellatrix.
"You tricked me!" says Selena.
"Would you prefer another wizard, a Gilderoy Lockhart bind you to him?" asks Lily.
"No," says Selena.
Selena is getting older, and thus her suitors are disappearing.
Not to mention any attempts to find a father have been ruined by Rita Skeeter.
"Then you know what you're going to do," Bellatrix says, grinning wickedly.
Selena didn't know if she was cursed or not.
Lily, Andromeda, and Bellatrix all pick out her lingerie.
In the end, they chose something that reassembles a Veela's robe.
Selena had a bikini top that barely concealed her breasts.
Her lower half was another problem. Other than the blue panties she had been allowed to wear, she had a blue plaid miniskirt. She tugs her miniskirt down, hoping her panties wouldn't be seen.
Her leg stocking stops to her mid-thighs.
She wore armbands, bracers, and ankle braclets.
As Rita Skeeter has said all these years, she looks like a little slut.
All over her body were runes.
Much like Lily, Andromeda, and Bellatrix, who also had runes written on their bodies, she knew once she got in bed with Harry Black, she would be bound to him.
Though the runes would bind the moment, he came inside of her.
In short, this was a type of enslavement.
But it also provided her protection. For one, no other man may enter her.
Selena wasn't too sure about this, as she didn't feel right taking advantage of a young wizard barely twelve years of age.
The three Black's quickly lead her to Harry's room and lock her inside with the young wizard.
Selena tugs her silk garment, attempting to hide her shyness and embarrassment of wearing such an outfit.
Veela's would wear these outfits to tease and taunt males into mating.
Harry comes out of his bathroom with a towel around his waist.
"Miss Wynter," says Harry.
Harry wipes his face with a washcloth and throws it in the bin.
Selena stands there nervous as a schoolgirl.
"They put you into this, didn't they," says Harry.
Selena meekly nods her head.
Harry sighs and gives a weak smile.
"Come here," Harry says as he sits on his bed.
Selena obeys his command and sits next to him. Tugging her miniskirt as if she was fifteen years old once again. She kept her legs close, completely nervous.
"Is this what you want?" asks Harry.
Selena didn't answer. She didn't have an answer.
Other than her father, she's never had another partner.
So she's been very much alone for a long time.
Yes, she had desires and needs, but she didn't want to take advantage of a young wizard to satisfy her needs for intimacy.
Harry places his left arm around her and draws her to him.
"If your daughter grows up like you, she'll be quite the beauty," says Harry.
Selena blushes.
Selena doesn't know what she is thinking, but she rests her head on Harry's shoulder.
Despite being smaller, Harry shows great strength.
Perhaps it was the fact she's been alone for so long.
Perhaps it was the fact for the first time, other than her father. A wizard shows interest in her as a person rather than her body.
His embrace felt so warm that Selena slowly felt herself losing herself.
There would be no sex, but she would allow herself to feel his touch, his warmth.
She inhales his scent.
Selena begins to nibble his neck slowly.
She begins to kiss his neck, tasting him.
Selena felt his hand move under her bra and grabs her left breast.
Selena lets out a soft moan.
Even if this was foreplay, Selena has never experienced this before.
Harry grabs her breast, her bra now out of place.
Harry falls back on the bed as Selena looks at him.
She understood.
Throwing her leg over his small waist, being careful not to hurt him, she straddles him.
She grabs her bra and begins to remove it from her body. She lets it drop to the floor. Her breast bounces free. Feeling the cool refreshing air and being aware that a young wizard was watching her.
Selena bends and kisses Harry.
Harry opens his mouth and begins french kissing her.
Selena was taken back as she's never experienced anything like this. She's never felt the passion or love of another. To be appreciated.
She kisses him back, passionately, hungry.
Her breasts smashing against his small chest.
Selena finally understands why her daughter was so smitten over Harry Black.
She was too.
And she loved it.
