Title – The Last Curse
Author – Artemis Potter-Snape
Rating –R for (NC17 (posted to my LJ))
Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter that is left to JK Rowling, the only thing we have in common is that our youngest children have the same name, mine is a boy (20mths old) and hers is a baby girl, aww, so cute. Anyway the only thing that is mine is the curses, etc that I make up.
Warnings – MPREG, Group sex implied on implied incest on some others too that I couldn't decide on yet. Anything with detailed will be cut to my LJ.
Summary – Voldey tries to get the last laugh.
AN – CONTEST cancelled, I had a review pointing out that it isn't allowed, I didn't know it wasn't allowed within the story chapter pages, and I don't want to risk it, I may not be a good writer but it is all that keeps me sane at the moment so I won't risk losing my account here. Ravenclaw Still RULES.

MorbidlyObtuse – 'Clearly any such girl is beyond all hope, exhibiting a thorough ignorance of not only the reproductive process,' Firstly I am not a girl, I am woman, I am not beyond hope either and after having been pregnant 8 times and have 4 kids I am not ignorant to the way babies are made either. The idea of Mpreg has been around for years, surely you have seen the film Junior with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger where two MALE Scientists make it possible for one of them to carry and deliver a healthy baby.
Secondly, yes I do think that the four characters that I am putting together is HOT, but that is not my motivation, my motivation is that Draco and Lucius Malfoy have always been nasty and I want them to get their comeuppance, my punishment to them is being controlled by HARRY POTTER. As for Sev and Harry I think personality wise they go well together, they have both been abused in someway and I sympathise with them, Sev was by fellow school mates (loosely used word here, not exactly mates after all), Harry was verbally abused and neglected by his family, abused people generally feel safer with other abused people that is my reason to pair them. (Blows raspberry)
Yes I am obsessed about babies, I wouldn't have nearly died to have number four if I wasn't, I like making men pregnant, most labouring women shout at their husbands, partners whatever that they wish it had been them, I know I did all four birthing times, and when I miscarried for the fourth time and was in agony for the following two weeks.
And lastly you don't deserve to rant, if you don't like Slash don't read, if you don't like Mpreg, don't read, the deities only know why you had chosen me to rant at, but I don't bloody care, this is the world of fanfiction, where writers can write anything they want, and guess what Harry Potter's world is a magical world where anything can bloody well happen, so go pester some other poor person with your biased, small-minded attitude to Mpreg writers. BTW do you have kids? If you do I pity them for having a parent with little to no imagination.
Dedicated to – MorbidlyObtuse because you deserve to be shamed.

Chapter – 5 – Chats
PreviouslyAt that moment they arrived at the infirmary doors, Harry had only opened it a tiny amount when the screaming hit his ears, he closed the door again quickly.
"What in Merlin's name is going on in there?"
"That is the complication to the back firing of Voldemorts curse I am afraid Harry."
x-x-x-x-x-
"I knew it, I knew I wouldn't like this." Harry grumbled to himself as Dumbledore opened the door and called for Madame Pomfrey.
"Ah Poppy before we go in I would like to hear what you have to say about this situation."
"It's a mystery to me Albus, a short while after Harry left they started with their crying and screaming, it sounds like they are in pain, nothing that I give them helps at all. Do you know anything?"
"Yes, yes indeed. It seems the Dark Lord tried to curse young Harry to the death eaters forming a bond of slavery to their desires, instead it seems to have back-fired onto our unfortunate guests inside."
"Oh dear, what do we do now?"
"We need a paternity charm done to find out who Merissa's father is, so that we can do the binding…"
"Hold up, no one said anything about a binding, I'm seventeen for Merlin's sake."
"If we don't bind you, they will die, do you wish for that my boy?"
Harry hung his head and shook it slightly; Albus knew that Harry didn't want to see anyone die, even if it was death eaters.
"I have a paternity potion on hand Albus, I had requested it ready after I was told that Harry had birthed Merissa, I knew that there was something he was not telling us when I checked on him and the baby."
"I'm sorry Madam Pomfrey, I only just told Albus what happened. What do you need for the potion?"
"Blood or hair." Harry handed Madam Pomfrey a locket with a lock of Merissa's hair that he had on him for the final battle "Lets take this to the office and we can do the test there."
They walked through the door towards the back of the infirmary where the office was, as they passed the three curtained off areas the screams changed into whimpers and then into quiet.
"Why did they stop?" Harry asked once the office door shut behind them.
"When you left Harry it started, I can only assume that they feel lost when you are not near them, earlier when you were asleep they were back to their normal selves occasionally asking when they could leave."
"Once you bond with them this should not happen Harry, but for their reactions to be this strong and only those three affected there must be another factor. We will question them in your presence Harry to determine what that factor is."
"Okay, who exactly are our guests from the death eater faction?"
"Draco and Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape."
"Oh Merlin, it would be wouldn't it, I mean every shite thing that has happened in the last seven years has involved those three in one way or another."
"Well perhaps we should do the paternity potion now. Do you know how the potion works? It is required by the Ministry that the sole known parent should be made aware of how the potion works so that in the case of rape the victim, or rather the parent is prepared to see the attackers face."
"I…Merlin, I don't know how it works, why does it all happen to me. No," he held up a hand to stop them from speaking, "I know it is the destiny of the leader of the Wizarding World to be humbled so that he may sympathise with the people he leads, but…"
"Harry you are a remarkable young man, one who, despite what life has thrown at him, built the beginnings of a family, one that was born of rape, but you must find out the father of Merissa, stay strong this one last time." Poppy Pomfrey told the shaking young man gently, he nodded and gave Poppy his arm so she could take some blood ready for the potion.
"Now young man I will tell you about the potion. Have you ever seen the muggle programme called 'Meet The Ancestors', No…oh well, using skulls they can recreate what that person once looked like." Albus Dumbledore stopped when he saw the looks on Harry and Poppy's faces, "I do have muggle and muggle-born friends you know" he stated indignantly, ignoring their faces he carried on telling Harry what would happen while Poppy prepared the potion.
"When your blood and Merissa's hair is added to the potion it will change from this mauve colour and turn silver like a mirror and that is where the face of her other father will appear, this should take about twenty minutes. The how of what it does is simple, it reads the traits from Merissa's hair and moulds a face, then it takes your traits and takes away those features of you from her and what is left is the father, any gaps missing are filled in to what fits, no one really knows how exactly it works, as they say in those dreadful muggle magic shows, 'that's magic'. Any questions?"
Harry shook his head, he was scared witless, and he didn't want to tell Albus or Poppy, he knew that it needed to be done, that didn't change the amount of fear flowing through him.
Poppy added the hair and the blood to the prepared potion and sat back to watch what would happen, Albus slipped out to check on the other patients, or rather guests, Harry was just sitting in the spot that he first occupied biting on his thumb nail, the only outward sign that he was indeed scared.
"Albus, come look." Poppy called through the door to where Albus was sitting with Severus Snape, feared potions master.
Harry hadn't moved, he had kept his back to the bowl with the potion in all this time.
"Well Harry my boy, we now know who the other father is, are you going to tell him?"
"Is he still alive? Sorry…I guess he is seeing as you said about telling him, can't exactly tell him if he is dead can you."
"Harry, look in the bowl, you may be surprised in a nice way." Poppy said in her gentlest tone, trying to convince the poor love to look.
Harry leaned over the bowl and saw something that he had dreaded and hoped for at the same time.
Thirty minutes later Harry was still looking into the bowl at the other father of his little girl.
"Harry it is getting late and we need to talk to our guests about the curse before you can go to bed. You should know that you could feel if they are trying to lie"
Harry nodded his agreement to talk to the guests and got up out of the chair giving the bowl one last look he squared his shoulders and followed Poppy from the room with Albus behind him. They approached Draco Malfoy first, Dumbledore placed up a silencing charm before speaking.
"Mr Malfoy we need to ask you some questions, we can do it the easy way, the hard way or the moderate way. Which do you agree to?"
"What are the options." Draco asked, eyes never leaving Harry Potter.
"Easy is for you to tell me the truth and we will know if you are lying," Albus looked at Harry quickly before focusing back onto Draco, "The moderate way is for Harry to question you, and you will be compelled to answer truthfully to him, the hard way is for me to dose you in veritaserum. Which do you choose?"
"I will answer truthfully." Draco still kept his eye on Harry.
"Did you know of Voldemorts plan for Harry if Harry managed to kill him?"
"No, I am not a part of the inner circle, that information was for those selected from there."
Dumbledore glanced at Harry, who nodded in reply,
"Are you loyal to Voldemort now, even though he is dead?"
"No, I am loyal to only one, and that is not the dark lord." Draco was still looking at Harry, which was unnerving them both.
"Do you, or have you ever had any fantasies, or desires towards Harry Potter."
Draco let out a deep sigh, nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I have desired to bed Harry Potter since the fifth year. Is that all old man, can I leave this place now, I would appreciate getting my punishment. If only to get away from this…this uncomfortable, detestable place."
"I am afraid that you can not leave until we have finished figuring out the curse that Voldemort used." Poppy ran a check over Draco before they moved to the bed next to Draco's. Once more Dumbledore placed the charm and asked Lucius Malfoy the same question, the older Malfoy answered differently,
"Mr Malfoy we need to ask you some questions, we can do it the easy way, the hard way or the moderate way. Which do you agree to?"
"I will not answer any of your questions, send me to the Ministry you meddling old man."
"Oh dear, I had hoped that this would not be necessary. Petrificus Totalus."
Mr Malfoy was fully binded stopping him from moving, with the help of Poppy and Harry, Albus managed to administer the veritaserum. They waited for a few moments while it took effect, once his eyes dilated and filmed over slightly Dumbledore began his questions.
"Did you know of Voldemorts plan for Harry if Harry managed to kill him?"
"Yes, I was one of the only four to know."
"What do you know of the spell?"
"It was used for binding people to their master for the production of children in the event of the wife being unable, it was fully legal when it was first used. Voldemort wanted to bind Harry to all his death eaters so that we could begin the next generation of the inner circle, we were to rape him repeatedly so that no one knew who the father of the resulting child would be, this would eventually drive him insane with lust because of the inflaming and desire, it would also drive him insane from knowing what he was doing, and that he could do nothing to stop it."
"What if the child was born of light like it's father?"
"We were ordered that if that should happen we were to torture and kill the baby slowly in front of Harry Potter as punishment."
Dumbledore went pale, Poppy turned red in anger and sadness and Harry turned an unflattering green colour before sitting on the floor.
"Are you loyal to Voldemort now, even though he is dead?"
"Yes and no, I am loyal to what he believed in, but in flesh I am loyal to only one."
"This is the last question Mr Malfoy and then I will give you the anti-serum. Do you, or have you ever had any fantasies, or desires towards Harry Potter."
"Yes, since we took him last year and seen how his body moved I have desired him for my bed and would have kept him to myself if Voldemorts plan worked."
Harry sat on the floor shivering, feeling sicker than ever at the thoughts that what Lucius said brought to him. Poppy and Albus lifted him to his feet and moved to the other side of the room, Poppy handed him some chocolate, He nibbled on it while trying to calm himself down. 'Slow deep breaths, he can't control me, he can't and won't I will control him, my life, my control, never taken away again, slow deep breaths.' This became Harry's mantra for the next five minutes.
"Come on Harry, we still have to see Severus."
"I just need a minute, can I use you office Madam Pomfrey?"
Madam Pomfrey nodded, so Harry stood up from where he was sitting and walked slowly towards the office, once there he shut the door and took out his wallet photo book, he flipped through the pictures and selected three and using a copying charm, he replicated them and placed the originals back. Looking around Madam Pomfrey's desk Harry found a quill and wrote on the back of each one, 'This is your daughter born 25th May 1996 weighing six pounds and 5 ounces, her name is Merissa Joanna Potter.' He put the quill back where he found it and put the pictures in his other pocket and left the office, dreading the last meeting the worst.
"Hello Professor Snape."
"Hello Severus."
"Hello Albus, Poppy, Mr Potter." He sneered the last name.
"We have some questions for you, are you up to answering them truthfully, if not we will use other methods to ensure you cooperate."
"I will cooperate Albus."
"Firstly who are you loyal to and we would like a complete answer."
"You as the leader of the Order of the Phoenix and to my soul-mate."
"Do you know who your soul-mate is?"
"Yes, but I will not tell you who he is." Dumbledore nodded his head in understanding.
"Did you know of Voldemorts last curse?"
"No, we knew of a plan, but I assumed that it would have been orders to Lucius for him to continue the legacy that the half-blooded maniac dreamed up."
"This question is going to be a two pointed question, answer as best as you can, there will be no punishment of any kind. Have you had any secret feelings or desires for Harry Potter."
"Yes." Severus hung his hair over his face so that no one could see what he was feeling.
"Last one I promise, then we will leave you to rest for the night. You went to a meeting at the end of July last year, there was as you said a muggle poly-juiced to look like Harry Potter, did you participate in the rape and torture of this person, and would you be willing to take the responsibility of those actions."
"Yes to all of it Albus." Severus didn't lift his head up once, but from the wet patches on the covers they all knew that he was crying.
"All right my friend we will leave you to rest now."
Harry waited until Albus and Poppy had turned to leave the room before placing the three copied pictures on the table, just out of Severus's vision, once done he left the room as quickly as possible.
The three turned and headed straight into Poppy's office once more,
"Well I think I understand where the back-firing of the curse came from." Albus told the other two.
"Let me guess, they already desired me?" Harry asked a little too sharply.
"Yes, unfortunately for them, they did, but I think that Severus is a different matter, Harry did you feel anything different from Severus than you did from the other two?" Poppy asked while directing him to a chair.
"Yes, I could feel lots of things from him, I could feel a sense of loss, but it wasn't his it was more like a reflection from someone else onto him. I could feel how sorry he was for the rapes he took part in, I could feel his loneliness, his despair…" Harry looked thoughtful for a moment, "I could feel love, but it…it was directed at…at me, I don't understand."
"I would have thought that to be rather obvious, he had secret feelings and desires for you, he is sorry about the rapes, he feels a sense of loss. I think that loss is knowing that you will never feel for him what he feels for you. I need to ask you this question, please don't get upset by it, I mean nothing by it. Are you Gay Harry?"
"Yeah, I came out to R…Ron and Hermione in the third year, I've had a crush on Professor Snape since then. What…what do we do now?"
"I need to get in touch with the Ministry, there isn't a law against teacher, student relationships if there is a soul-bond, like wise there is no law against incest like there is in the muggle world, it is sometimes how we get around the population problems, fortunately our muggle-borne are increasing meaning that now the death eaters are defeated there should no longer be the need for that practice, but I digress. When I get in touch with the Ministry I will have to tell them the full details of Voldemorts curse and of the prophecy so you may have to endure more publicity, unfortunately we will no longer be able to keep Merissa a secret either."
"What do you need to sort out at the Ministry Albus? Regarding Merissa, it was bound to come out now that Voldemort and his band of merry men have been defeated once and for all."
"You will have to decide what to tell the public about Merissa, there will be an award ceremony in two days, the press will be there I advise you to announce it then. As for the Ministry, there is a law against immediate family from marrying, I will have to get a special dispensation for you, because of this bond you will need to marry them all, or else they all will die."
"Why am I not feeling any more than a twinge? I mean they were screaming for me, and all I feel is a bloody twinge."
"Harry, mind your language." Poppy Pomfrey admonished him.
"Sorry, it's just first I kill Voldemort, sleep for three weeks, forget my own child, find out that the father of my child desires me and even loves me, lose some of my best friends, and that if I don't marry the father of my child and two of my worst enemies then they all die, it is rather a lot to take in seeing as I have been awake for…one. whole. bloody. Day. Do we even know if he is my soul-mate?"
"We understand Harry, but calm down. You are the dominant that is why you only feel a twinge. In a soul-bond between two males it is often an equal relationship, but due to this curse even Severus has been made into a submissive, but once you are bound to him, the other two will also be submissive to him. As for whether he is your soul-mate or not can be found by doing a simple spell which traces your other half, we will do this tomorrow, we cannot do a soul spell and paternity test in one night, they can affect each other."
Harry nodded feeling rather numb by all that has happened today especially.
"I think Harry should retire for the night Albus," Poppy turned to Harry, "Go to bed young man, send Merissa to Minerva if you have trouble settling her, and that is an order, and give her a kiss from me."
"Ew, you can kiss Minerva yourself." Harry skipped away from the slapped bottom that Poppy was trying to give him and danced out the door before she decided to hex him instead.
"He will be fine Albus, stop worrying so much."
"I'll try, he has been through so much I fear that he may take it out on the others when they are bonded."
"Don't worry, anyway it will do those Malfoy's some good."
Albus nodded his head in agreement and moved out the door quickly before the awful screams started up again.
Meanwhile in the infirmary Severus Snape had seen the photos, not knowing what they were he decided to leave them for the time being, he wanted to just lay there and fantasise about the young man that he knew he was in love with and never have.
'Merlin he is so beautiful, why was he here, if I had looked at him I would have wanted to touch him so badly, all I can think of was that poor muggle that they turned into him for us to rape and make suffer. Merlin why do this to me, I just wanted my life back. Why did Albus ask me about that night in front of HIM,' he lay there brooding until he heard Harry leave the infirmary, looking up he watched as Albus left a few minutes later, that was when one of the Malfoy's started to scream, in another minute or two the other one would start. Severus looked around once more and decided to look at the pictures to take his mind off the awful noise.
Turning them over not noticing the fine writing he just stared and stared at the picture of a beautiful baby in a soft pink robe gurgling and kicking her legs around, he looked at one of the others and this was a tiny baby, the same baby as before, this time she was in a lemon coloured babygro, she was so tiny she looked no older than a couple weeks of age. The third was a picture of her in the arms of a young man with black hair; he was facing away from the camera with the baby looking at the camera over his shoulder. Trying to work out what it meant he turned them over to see if there was anything written on them and there was to his shock, 'This is your daughter born 25th May 1996 weighing six pounds and 5 ounces, her name is Merissa Joanna Potter.'
There was only one word in his mind at that point, 'Shite'.

AN – If you know a pregnancy length then you will notice that the dates don't fit, but as this is a magical pregnancy I decided that they needed another month gestation for magical development.
The story behind Merissa will be in the prequel that I am writing (trying to anyway) at the moment. It isn't coming together too well at the moment though, there are many issues that I have to deal with in my life and my muse is being awkward, which isn't helping any.
As I cancelled the competition I decided because Slytherin was in the lead anyway they can win the cup.
