WARNING: This is about male/male relationships. If you have a problem with that then I suggest that you go elsewhere.
As a side note: This chapter has been edited for lemons so if you want the unedited version of this chapter please let me know and I'll will send it to you by email ^_~
Hello everyone! First of all I would like to say thank you to each and everyone of you for the fantastic reviews and encouragement for me to continue. I'm writing this fic for my very good friend Kewla ^_~
Next I want to give a special thank you to the Pixel Goddess for keeping me in check and adding her input when my brain could not supply that special touch. I would be lost without her ^_~
Now, to answer some questions that were eating some of you at the core:
~V: You were on the money with the 'blood' theory. It's was more animalistic in nature. That's why Sirius wouldn't have been the right choice for Snape.
~LingXiaoyu: Not necessarily using the term soul mates but intended bond mates.
~Christine G: The triangle was to throw you off. Did it work? Read on and find out it anything comes of it. As for Voldemort let's just say that there is more going on than he's letting us all believe ^_~
~Nelia: You're right it's not good when Voldemort was asking Lucius about the bond. Well, I'm glad that Remus and Sirius' relationship was in question. Yes, that's why Goku is so protective of Vegeta because of the loss of their first child.
~Kewla: I'm glad that you approve of the choice in pairings. Oh, and so you know we haven't saw the last of Parkinson. Angst? No way! Like I said before nothing bad will happen to *any* of them. You're correct about Harry and Draco but read on and find how the students of Hogwarts will response to their relationship.

~oOo@oOo~
Goku reappeared just outside the pitch, still keeping a firm hold on Remus and Snape. He stood between the raging men, as Snape continued to growl.
"Snape, get a hold of yourself!" Goku yelled. Gone was the cheerful Saiyan to be replaced by a stern and meaningful fighter.
The Potions Master gradually came back to his senses, shocked by his own behavior. He lost the tight rein of control that he had over his emotions. When Remus touched him, the only thing he wanted to do was to take the other wizard and claim him.
This was what Dumbledore had warned him about. Snape had been fighting the pull since he had come of age. For the longest time he didn't know what was going on with his body. The only thing that he knew was that he wanted - no he needed the werewolf, like a drowning man needed a lifeline.
His instincts to mark the werewolf over-powered his being. He had tried for so long to avoid Lupin that he had purposely picked arguments with Sirius to distract him. However, he should have known that once the Headmaster had pointed it out there would be no way to ignore his growing attraction toward Lupin. He thought that by ignoring the feeling that it would dissipate. It didn't work - being this close to his desired mate only fueled the fire.
What made matters even worse was it was a few days until the next full moon. Remus' sense of smell was sure to be heightened, so that meant.
"Of all the idiotic stunts that Black has pulled this by far is the most." Snape muttered. Goddamn Sirius, all of this was the bloody mutt's fault.
"What happened back there?" Remus was confused. He could smell that Snape's scent was little off. It was as if he was... Lupin's eyes snapped open in surprised recognition. "Severus...?"
"Tell him Snape," Goku urged.
Severus growled and yanked his arm out of Goku's grasp. "I will not subject myself to Lupin's ridicule over wanting him as my mate. I have - " Snape ranted, then realized what he just said. "Shit!"
"Ridicule over...mate...?" Remus stared at him, stunned.
Snape's next move was totally unexpected by Lupin. He cupped Remus' face between his smooth large hands and passionately kissed him. When Severus broke the kiss, Remus stared at him in wonder. Snape backed away, morphing into an animal as he moved.
For the first time Remus recognized the illegal animagus he had only caught glimpses of in the past. Golden eyes widened at the retreating figure. Under the blanket of night a large silver wolf vanished through a thicket of trees that outlined the Forbidden Forest.
Remus stood in shock, bringing his fingers up to touch his lips. The kiss had left him wanting more. "Goku, what...he kissed me?"
Goku smiled at the stunned wizard.
"Why would Snape do that?"
"He was marking you."
Remus growled in confusion and annoyance. "Does he think I'm that weak? He thinks he can just claim me without a fight? I'm not some submissive male that he can come to when he can't find someone to get off on!" Remus snapped. He was not happy that he was being marked like some Beta.
"No, that's not it Remus," Goku replied, grinning.
"Then what the bloody hell?" Remus asked, exasperated.
"You're his 'intended'. Snape is a Saiyan. That's how..."
Goku didn't get a chance to finish because he was suddenly busy picking Remus up off the damp grass. Remus had fainted from the news.
In the blink of an eye Goku faded from view with his load, returning to the tower for Vegeta's help in dealing with this. Snape had to be found before the teacher's need overtook him. If it took too long, Snape would tear up the castle searching for his mate.
It wouldn't be good for anyone else to come across the unpredictable male. Snape could accidentally hurt them in his quest to find Remus, which Goku wanted to avoid at all costs.
~oOo@oOo~
Draco was now sitting up in bed. The potion that Madam Pomfrey had given him did the trick. His mind wandered a little with his eyes closing slightly. His father had visited earlier and left the package that he asked for. Now he was waiting for his boyfriend to come.
The door opened partly to reveal not the dark haired Gryffindor, but another blonde.
"Hi Dra."
"Blaise, shouldn't you be in class?" Draco asked, a little disappointed that it wasn't Harry, but still pleased to see his friend.
"Yeah, but I wanted to make sure that you were doing better."
"Yes, I am feeling much better. In fact-" but Draco stopped mid-sentence as the door swung open to reveal the object of his dreams.
"I'll talk with you later." Blaise grinned, easing out of the room.
"Hey," Harry greeted. "I got your message." He took the chair that was next to the bed. He smiled at Draco, and asked him teasingly, "What could you possibly need that is worth making me late for class?" Harry was just thankful that he didn't have Snape for his morning class.
Draco said nothing as he got up and properly welcomed his boyfriend. Harry melted on the spot, forgetting about that he had classes to attend. Draco pulled away slightly letting his forehead touch Harry's. Strands of blonde hair fell about his face.
"Harry...I was going to...to wait until Christmas...but in light of what had happened...I can't wait," Draco began. His stomach was doing somersaults. He took a deep breath. /I can do this/ he thought.
"Just tell me," Harry encouraged.
Draco reached under the blankets and pulled out a small forest green velvet box. He turned it toward Harry and opened it. "I've never done this before so please bear with me." Draco's voice quavered.
He removed the tiny object from its' plush confines and held Harry's left hand in his. "I known for quite some time that I love you Harry but I was too afraid to tell you for fear of you rejecting me, but after my accident I don't ever want to lose a chance to tell you how I feel. I love you Harry and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?"
Draco had the gold band half way on Harry's slender finger. The ring was encrusted with four small diamonds surrounding the large center stone.
Tears streaked down Harry's face as he nodded his head and hugged his now fiancé. "Yes, Draco. Yes." Draco cupped his face and sealed their promise of marriage with a hot fiery kiss. Their tongues swirled around each other, playing and promising delights that would come once they joined.
Clapping could be heard behind them. They broke apart, both of their faces flushed. The teens' chests were heaving as they tried to calm their breathing.
"I was hoping that I would catch you Dragon, before you went back to sleep."
"Father, I thought that you and Professor Dumbledore were in a meeting?"
"Lucius decided that he needed to make sure that you were well, just in case young Harry here said 'no'," Dumbledore replied with amusement.
"You knew?" Mirrored silver eyes accused.
Lucius' facial expression never changed. "I knew all along that you and Pot- Harry would end up together."
Draco's face slipped just a little but he recovered. "You knew! And you didn't tell me - us?" he gestured between himself and Harry.
"You needed to figure that out on your own, without any help from me or your Mother. Narcissa was worried that you wanted to marry Parkinson," Lucius concluded with a slight sneer of disdain in his low even voice.
"Speaking of Pansy, what's going to happen to her now?" Harry asked.
"Considering what she has done to you and Draco, not to mention what Miss Parkinson has done to Prince Vegeta, I think that expulsion would be in order," Professor Dumbledore noted with some sadness. His normally cheerful smile was gone - even the dazzling twinkle in his rich blue eyes was no longer present.
"Could you two excuse us? I need to speak with my son in private," Lucius requested.
Harry gave Draco a chaste kiss before departing with the Headmaster. Once the door was closed Lucius sat down in the chair that Harry was occupying just mere moments before.
"Dad-" Draco addressed his father.
"When will you and Harry seal your bond?"
"I don't know. We haven't made any plans that far in advance. I just proposed to him. Why do you ask?" Draco could feel his father's apprehension about the upcoming ceremony.
"I'm not going to hold out on you about this my Dragon. You and Harry must be bound before your eighteenth birthday. You know that right?"
"Yes, you've stressed that I don't know how many times." Draco waved it off as superfluous information. "I was thinking right before Spring Break. That way we could use that time for a honeymoon or something."
Lucius inwardly smiled at his son's thinking. That was clever planning. "Dragon, I must request that you keep the guest list down to a bare minimum."
"Why Father? I know that Mother would love to plan such an auspicious event."
"There are reasons that I cannot and will not tell you," Lucius said thinking about what Voldemort would do once he found out. "However, I'm more concerned about your wedding night."
Draco raised an elegant brow. He figured that his father wasn't worried about him knowing what to do. It was more likely he was concerned because he doubted Harry had any experience pertaining to the sexual aspects of a relationship.
Now, as the young Slytherin thought about it, he realized there were other issues as well. "Uh, Dad?"
"Yes Dragon."
Draco bit down on his lower lip, making it swell a little. This action alone was enough to let Lucius know that his son was worried about something.
"Could Harry...I'm not exactly sure how I should word this but-"
"You're wondering if Harry could get pregnant, right?"
The other blonde nodded his head without opening his mouth.
Lucius let out a long sigh. "As far as I know Dragon, it is very likely that he could after the first time."
Another thought crossed Draco's mind. "What if he's not ready?"
"You mean to have kids, or sex?"
"Both."
The elder Malfoy smirked. "I cannot tell you how to solve that problem. However, I will tell you this: try talking to him about it." Lucius stood to leave. "Now, I must go. I have some other business that I need to tend to before I go. Try and get some rest. Don't worry about it too much." With a swirl of his cloak Lucius was gone.
The Malfoy heir had plenty to mull over. Draco settled down in the bed to think about how to discuss the upcoming binding ritual that would join him and Harry together, but no matter how he looked at it it was a high probability that Harry would become pregnant.
~oOo@oOo~
The tall Saiyan warrior laid Remus down on the sofa and stalked upstairs in search of his partner. Goku walked through the bedroom door to find Vegeta sprawled out on the bed. The vision of the smaller was something that Goku could only describe as beautiful.
Vegeta was asleep on top of the comforter. His spandex uniform had become uncomfortable around his expanding stomach. The royal glowed as each day passed by. Goku never had seen such beauty as he did when he drank in the radiance of his lover, but he had no time to submerge himself in such erotic thoughts. There was a serious problem that needed to be resolved.
Goku groaned inwardly. "Hey koi," he said nudging his partner.
"Hmm?" Vegeta answered in his sleep-induced state.
"Geta, please wake-up," Goku pleaded. He cursed the sleeping draught for working against him instead of with him.
"Not now Kay. I'm too tired." Vegeta was having a very good dream. Goku saw the rise in his lover's pants. He probably would have laughed if the situation were not so serious.
"Vegeta, please get up. Snape is in heat," Goku begged.
That finally got his attention. Vegeta shot up out of the bed. "Nani?!"
"Somehow when Remus touched Snape's hand it triggered his heat cycle. I think that he had been fighting the pull toward Remus and now it's too much for him to handle," Goku explained.
"Shittama! Where is Snape now?" the prince asked while he properly dressed himself. He now wore a dark blue gi similar to Goku's. He was a bit disoriented from the sleeping potion.
"He took off toward the Forbidden Forest, but I'm sure once everything has set-in he will look for Remus."
"Where's the Wolf?"
"Downstairs. Snape marked him, so he can track his scent. I'm just not sure if he's fully aware of that. Vegeta, I'm not positive if Lupin wants Snape as a mate - he was kind of confused."
"Shimatta!" Vegeta was out of the door and downstairs when he came across the slowly recovering wizard. This was so not good. Snape would regain his senses and would be fighting mad to get to this male. The only reasonable thing to do was to get Remus into Snape's private rooms. It was even more important that he found Snape before things got out of hand.
"Kakarott, I'm going to look for Snape. Explain to the Wolf what is going on, but whatever you do, get him-" Vegeta said as his pointed a slender gloved finger in the Dark Arts teacher's direction. "- into Snape's room."
Without another word Vegeta turned to leave the tower but he returned to his mate and brought his lips to him. Goku moaned into his prince's hot warm mouth asking for more but soon the prince and soft luscious lips were nothing more than faint traces against his own.
~oOo@oOo~
The Potions Master was now resting at the forest's edge. He didn't trek too deeply into the forbidden area. He knew he had failed miserably. Snape transformed back into his human form not long after he left Lupin and Goku.
He wanted Remus J. Lupin to be his mate. He had been attracted to him all through their school years, but had resisted, fearing more rejection and ridicule. He learned that lesson early on. He had never really examined his motives for learning to become an animagus. He should have known the first time the spell worked and he became a wolf - there was no avoiding his desire for Remus. The need burned in him during full moons - to change, to watch his intended - even from a distance, but he couldn't bring himself to do it lately, especially since Black was always with him.
He had seen others - students and teachers - go through their dating rituals and courtships. They all seemed strange to him. This attraction he had for Remus was different, he knew it, but he didn't understand why. Finally, at Dumbledore's insistence Snape, along with Lucius and select students from each House, took a class called Other Species and Their Origins.
At first Severus didn't understand why he needed to take such as course but he soon realized what the Headmaster was getting at. He still didn't know that he was a Saiyan even though the class had briefly discussed Saiyan mating rituals.
Severus had deduced that he was going through some sort of weird wizarding puberty. He struggled to resist his attraction to the werewolf during their remaining school years, becoming even more withdrawn.
It wasn't until they had left Hogwarts that he admitted to himself that he missed the young werewolf and Remus really meant something to him. His heart ached at the loss of never telling him of his true feelings.
Ever since Potter's third year he resented Dumbledore for not assigning him the most coveted position as Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor. After that year he didn't think that he would ever recover from seeing Lupin and having his heart broken again.
Then the Headmaster had informed who the new Dark Arts professor would be. He was both ecstatic and terrified to see Remus return to Hogwarts. Then Vegeta and Goku showed up. That hunger he had felt for Lupin came crashing back over him, even worse than before. Somehow the couple had reawakened his long-buried Saiyan instincts.
Severus needed the other male. He could still smell him; still taste him. He was on fire, his blood burning in his veins. His skin was hot to the touch and he *itched *. It felt like flames were running down his back, ending at the base of his spine where Vegeta had touched him.
It was becoming so hard to think. The only thing that kept running through his mind was his hunger to claim and dominate the werewolf. Snape's head snapped up and he growled a warning when he sensed another male. He sniffed an intruder - a marked, pregnant male - unclaimable.
"Go away Vegeta!" he bared his teeth at the blue-blooded Saiyan.
"No, you need to get back to the Wolf and finish this."
"I will not force a claim on him," he spat.
"You've all ready marked him. What's keeping you from bonding to him? If you continue like this you will become a danger to those around you."
"What the fuck do you care?!" Clearly Snape was not in a talkative mood.
"I don't, but the old man does." Vegeta's hand rested on his tummy, as a protective gesture against Snape. He didn't want any harm to come to his unborn child.
"I...he doesn't want me as a mate. I've seen the way he looks at me."
Vegeta scoffed. "Don't be so sure. Why don't you remove that ridiculous charm so he can see you for who you really are."
Snape was slightly affronted. "How did you know?"
"Hn, even though I can not penetrate your mind, some of your thoughts leaked through. Remove the charm," Vegeta said with finality.
The teacher thought back to when the charm was cast. Dumbledore didn't give him details, but told him the charm was necessary because a mysterious enemy was looking for him. It was also needed because he had been stupid enough to join Voldemort and receive Dark Mark, without considering the consequences of that decision.
As Severus became older the charm would progress, making him look as if the evil deeds he was supposedly performing were taking their toll on him. The charm was cast to be undetectable and designed so only he or Dumbledore could remove it.
However, he had discovered years ago that Dumbledore deceived him yet again. The charm could not be removed until either the Dark Lord was defeated or Snape had admitted to himself he had found his 'intended'. Severus had never believed the spell would ever be removed.
The unlikely defeat of the Dark Lord seemed to depend upon the improbable success of Potter. He had long since given up on Remus accepting him as a mate, and no other person had attracted his interest. Not that he was really looking for another mate. Snape gritted his teeth in frustration. Vegeta was right. The situation had changed and he could remove the concealing charm. "I will do it after I claim Remus, but not before."
"Kakarott has brought him to your rooms - I do not think he will reject your claim. But I warn you now Snape, you've delayed too long for this to be a gentle thing. The moon is too close to being full, and after waiting over fifteen years to claim him, your animal instincts will be more feral.
I doubt that Lupin will be able to establish himself as the dominant mate." Vegeta thought back to when he and Kakarott had mated. The moon had been full, and the affair had been brutal and bloody.
"I have no intention of allowing him to dominate me," Snape growled, baring his teeth.
Vegeta smirked. From the very first day he perceived Snape as a dominant male. "Try not to kill him."
The Saiyan males walked back to the castle in relative silence. However, Vegeta knew that with each step Snape was becoming more unhinged. He was fighting his aggressive side not to bolt in search of Lupin. This was going to be interesting. Not only was Severus fighting his heat but he was also fighting the effects of the upcoming full moon.
At least the effects of the full moon wouldn't be as bad since the Potions professor's rooms were deep in the dungeons.
~oOo@oOo~
As Harry walked into the Great Hall all eyes were on him. He tried his best not to blush in embarrassment and buckle under the pressure of the funny looks but it was hard. He caught some of the hushed whispers as he made his way to sit with his friends.
"Can you believe it? He and Malfoy are supposed to be soul mates..."
"No wonder he never dated any girls..."
"What a waste..."
Harry finally arrived at his house table. He really didn't feel at home with his housemates either. Dean and Seamus were staring at him in disapproval. Ginny looked as if she had been crying, as well as Padma and Lavender. Colin Creevy just glared along with Neville. Apparently, their savior wasn't supposed to like boys. This was not how he had wanted every one to know that he was gay.
"Harry, did everything turn out okay with Draco?" Hermione asked. None of the Trio was interested in eating at the moment.
"Yeah, Mr. Malfoy told us that knew about us being bound."
"He was okay with it? That's good to know. Now, maybe I can ask you," Hermione continued on without pausing. "Harry, you do know that once you and Draco get married and bound it's for life, right?"
Harry gave this some thought. He didn't know that he would be mated to Draco forever but it just seemed right. He didn't have a problem living the rest of his life with someone that he loved. Even more importantly, Draco loved him back.
"To be honest, I didn't know - but I don't care. I love Draco and nothing is going to keep us from being together," he replied truthfully.
"But what about You-Know-Who?" Ron cut in.
Leave it to the redhead to spoil a good moment. Harry frowned. "What about him? From what I've heard, Voldemort has been keeping a low profile. Should I put off being happy waiting for what might happen? If I do, he's already won."
"But..."
" No," Harry shook his head in denial. "I refuse to worry about it. Hermione, did you ever if out that information about male pregnancies?"
"Yes, Harry I did. It seems that only a few were recorded. Believe it or not Godric Gryffindor was one. Your bloodline is one of the few in the wizarding world to have male pregnancies. It is also one of the few that has members finding their soul-mates." Hermione couldn't bring herself to tell her friend that the other wizarding bloodline was Slytherin.
After dinner the Trio trekked back to Harry's tower. They had some studying to do. None of them noticed a piece of paper slipping out of Hermione's notebook and gliding noiselessly to the other side of the room.
Blaise had been preparing to see Draco to give him his class notes for the weeks he had been in a coma. Since he didn't have time earlier when Harry showed. As he stood to leave for the infirmary, he spotted the sheet Hermione dropped. He quickly stepped over and trapped it beneath his loafer.
Bending down to retrieve the paper, his eyes widened when he carefully read the contents of the note:
{Among some of the oldest wizarding bloodlines to bare children from male 'mothers' included Merlin, Gryffindor and Slytherin. This also meant that their male descendants inherited the ability to conceive. In more recent history it has been discovered that several bloodlines carry the trait for male pregnancies: Black, Malfoy, and Lu-} The note ended with there.
So, Draco had the potential to become pregnant. Blaise tucked the paper in his book bag. Granger had been researching some very *interesting * things, and he some questions for the brunette.
~oOo@oOo~
~ Miles away from Hogwarts ~
Voldemort sat proudly upon his self-proclaimed throne. Most of his followers remained, returning to him when he summoned them. He looked about his sanctuary, examining his minions with a shrewd eye. He knew that something was going on with Malfoy and Snape but he couldn't quite place it.
No matter though, he was going to have their loyalties proven once and for all. He inwardly smiled as he beckoned his newest follower closer.
"My Lord, how may I be of service to you?"
"Tell me, my pet, what has Lucius and Severus on edge?" the dark wizard asked.
"It seems that Dumbledore has requested to aid of outsiders, Muggles, but they are like no Muggles that I have ever seen."
Crimson orbs ignited. "Tell me."
~oOo@oOo~
Vegeta stayed alongside Snape until they were inside of his private chambers. Snape refused to ask how in Merlin's name did Goku get into his rooms without setting off the wards or using a password. Remus stopped his pacing like a caged animal long enough to stare at Snape in wonder as he entered the room.
The prince took a seat next to his mate. His tail thumped loudly on the black leather sofa while Goku's tail coiled around his wrist to show the other males that the royal was clearly off-limits.
"Remus. . " Snape began, trying in vain to make eye contact as Remus ducked his head.
"I am not going to say that I understand because I don't. How can you be a Saiyan, Severus?" Remus had finally stopped and watched from under his bangs as Snape moved over the bar.
"I just recently found out myself," Snape pulled out a half-empty bottle of brandy, wishing it were stronger. He was trying to stay away from Lupin but his scent was starting to suffocate him. It didn't matter where he turned, the scent of spice and wood tingled his senses. Snape put the bottle back down unopened and bit back a growl.
"Look as much as we want to stay and watch the show, I'm tired. Fight it out for all I care, or better still kill each other. I'm warning you both - your need to be dominant is going to be strong," Vegeta said, not wishing to be in the room any longer than necessary.
"Remus, are you. . .?" Goku asked, concerned for his friend's well being.
Vegeta smirked as Lupin distractedly waved them away, not tearing his eyes off Severus.
"See ya." Goku grinned, grabbed onto Vegeta, and vanished into thin air.
The wizards hardly noticed the pair had left.
Remus edged closer to Snape. Snape rumbled a warning deep in his chest and lunged at his prey, pinning him to the floor with his weight.
"Damn it, Severus what's gotten into you?!" Remus felt a thrill of fear, as he felt the corded muscles in the arms he was struggling to remove from his shoulders.
Snape ran his tongue over his prey's ear, and then nibbled on his lobe, before breathlessly hissing, "Let's make this as painless as possible." His voice flowed smoothly over Remus' ear making him shiver. "For years now I've denied myself the pleasure of claiming you."
The silkiness of the Potions Master's voice was making the other male melt. He so rarely got to hear that tone. Snape brought a hand up to caress Remus' slightly wan face. Unable to wait, he crushed the other's lips with his own, his tongue - asking, begging, demanding admittance. Lupin allowed him in and Severus plundered his mouth. Remus returned the kiss and their tongues continued the battle for dominance.
He finally drew away, pulling in shuddering breaths. He was burning again; the fire searing its' way down his spine. He had to make Remus his.
Severus inhaled Remus' scent. He could sense that Remus was an Alpha male and fighting for dominance would take a great deal of effort. Snape didn't want to hurt him, but he had to be in control. Remus was a strong spirited wizard and Severus knew he was going to fight him tooth and nail.
The other wizard smelt the Saiyan's arousal. It was just like this when they were on the pitch. Remus snarled and brought up his knee to Snape's chest and pushed him off. Remus rolled over quickly and rose to his feet. He stood in a fighting stance. Snape landed on his back, but quickly regained his footing.
"I am not some bitch that you can use for breeding Snape!"
"I want you as my mate, you fool, not my bitch. But you *will * submit to me." The hungry look was back in the Saiyan's obsidian orbs. Severus removed his long flowing robe and overcoat. Remus took an involuntary step back as Snape moved closer, standing before him in his long sleeve Eton collar white shirt and black trousers.
Remus sucked in a breath of air. The sight of the Potions Master sent a wave of blood straight to his groin. He could feel himself getting hard. He had always thought Snape was a walking sex god and didn't even know it. However, Remus pushed those kinds of thoughts to the back of his mind. That had to wait until this fight was over - until then he had bigger fish to fry, as the Muggle saying went.
The wizard's charged each other. Snape swung with his right but Remus ducked to avoid the hit. He quickly punched Snape in the stomach. Severus took the hit with a grunt. He countered the move with kick to Remus' side.
The fight for dominance had begun.
~oOo@oOo~
Loud booms could be heard on the upper levels of the castle. Dumbledore and McGonagall sat together drinking tea.
The Headmaster smiled at the recent turn of events.
"Honestly, Albus, none of the girls have ever been this destructive."
"Hmmm...I seem to recall some broken furniture with Madam Hooch. . "
"Really, Albus! I still think that Remus and Severus should have been outside for this," Minerva commented while inhaling the calming drink.
"Oh, nonsense my dear, If anything they are tearing up Severus' main room. I placed protective wards around the room to ensure that no one outside or near his chambers would be harmed. He can put it back together in no time," he explained beaming.
"What should we tell the students if they ask?"
"That Professors Snape and Lupin are on a short leave," Dumbledore smiled at the Deputy Headmistress.
Minerva shook her head. She had never in all her years thought she would live to see the day when Severus took a mate. She figured that everything happens for a reason. She would have to send Prince Vegeta and Mr. Son a personal thank you gift for making the young wizard come to his senses.
~oOo@oOo~
Harry was sitting in his room with Hermione and Ron chatting quietly when they heard his roommates climbing the stairs. In this stage of his pregnancy, Vegeta could no longer levitate himself or cast energy blasts, which everyone was quietly thankful for. Vegeta was now like a child wielding a wand.
The prince seemed more worn-out and tired. Dark visible shadows were always present beneath his expressionless charcoal eyes. Madam Pomfrey had given Goku strict instructions to bring the prince back to the infirmary if Vegeta complained about any cramping or spotting.
Harry was thinking about Draco. His life had taken a different turn of sorts. He was unconsciously fingering his engagement ring when Ron broke into his thoughts.
"Hey mate? Are you going to tell us what Malfoy wanted or what?" the redhead asked. He had come to terms about the Slytherin prince being in his friend's life but he wasn't going to change his opinion of him overnight. And he certainly wasn't ready to start calling him by his first name just yet.
Harry had been wondering how he was going to break the news of his engagement to his best friends. He knew that Hermione would be elated but Ron was still trying to adjust to the situation. He thought that maybe he could put it off for a day or two but Hermione had spotted the ring.
"Harry, is that an engagement ring? Did Draco propose to you?"
"Uh, yeah. It was rather unexpected, but Mr. Malfoy had convinced me that I belonged at Draco's side. When Draco came to he asked me to marry him," Harry explained in a quiet tone.
~oOo@oOo~
Panting heavily Remus lay underneath his soon-to-be-lover. He was tired and bleeding. Snape had his share of wounds, but his were worse. He cursed himself for being so weak. Remus had never expected to be so easily dominated. But it had happened. Snape, of all people, had beaten him into submission. He showed an unbelievable amount of strength and it still appeared that he had been trying to hold himself back.
Now Remus was pinned to the floor on his stomach, Snape sitting on his thighs. One arm was twisted behind his back and Snape's fingers coiled in his hair, pulling his head back to bare his throat. Remus nearly whined, his fear and arousal mingling to torment him unbearably. He needed. . .oh god, he needed this. . .
"Severus, please. . " he begged, shuddering.
Snape bent to him, his face feral in desire. He could hardly think, the blood, the sweat was taking his mind away. There was just this all- consuming need. . .
"Say it," he growled, dipping his tongue into the hollows of Remus' neck. "Say you are mine."
"Yes. . .I-I am yours. . " he conceded breathlessly, drawing his head further back to bare more of his vulnerable throat.
Snape gave a howl of triumph as he buried his teeth into the tender pale flesh between Remus' neck and shoulder. The wolf's blood was tangy. Remus moaned softly as Severus suckled the crimson substance as if he was a babe drinking from his mother's breast.
Snape gently released his mate, and turned Remus on his back. He looked at him hungrily and returned to his neck, lapping up the waning remnants of blood, kissing the wound making his mate moan again.
Gasping for air Remus clung onto his mate's shoulders. "Severus, you shouldn't have done that," he said worriedly.
Obsidian orbs stared longingly into passion-filled golden ones. Snape placed a phantom kiss on the side of Remus' mouth. "I know what I'm doing. You have no fear of my turning into a werewolf. That will only work if *you* are in your wolf form. Now, since I've marked you, your wolf self will not harm me. I will be identified as your dominant mate," Snape replied smoothly, a smirk marring his features. Strangely, it reminded Remus of the short-tempered prince.
Snape suddenly rose, drawing Remus to his feet. He left the room, knowing Remus would follow without question.
Remus noticed that his mate's room was fairly large with a four-poster bed decorated in royal blue. He had not expected that. For the longest time he imagined that Severus' bedchamber would be decked out in his house colors.
Remus could tell that Snape was a neat freak. Nothing was out of place. Even the bookshelves were immaculate, not even a speck of dust. He then wondered why the Potions Master's storeroom looked like a natural disaster had gone through it. He shrugged his shoulders as best as he could and cautiously followed.
The werewolf stood at in the door of the bathroom quietly watching the Potions professor. Severus pointed his wand at the mirror and said a spell. A sliver of light expelled from the tip of Snape's wand hitting the mirror to only bounce back and hit him.
Remus was about to shout at him for doing something stupid when the effects of the spell took hold. Snape's skin color deepened from its normal sallow appearance to a golden tan. Crooked stained teeth straightened and brightened to a gleaming pearly white. Remus saw sharp canines and incisors. He licked his lips, remembering the euphoria Snape's bite had brought him, becoming even more aroused.
Remus saw auburn highlights throughout the jet-black hair. The dark hair didn't look greasy and stringy, but soft and straight. Remus could also make out a slight widow's peak from the pulled back hair. He stared closely and for the second the time that night he saw the resemblance between his mate and Vegeta.
Remus was at a loss for words but if he had to describe the vision before him he could sum it up in one word, "Beautiful."
The word left Severus stunned. The charm had been in place for so long, he no longer knew what he really looked like.
Now, with no other doubt in his mind he turned to Remus and smirking with delight he began to stalk his prey.
Remus was thoroughly enjoying this game. He may be claimed, but he wasn't yet captured. He backed away from his hunter, retreating until the backs of his legs made contact with the bed.
Snape growled in delight and pounced, pressing his smaller mate down onto the bed. All control gone, he ripped away the tattered remnants of Remus' shirt.
Once again Remus found himself under the powerful Saiyan. He arched his back giving into the all-consuming need that had arisen in his groin.
His mouth was plundered, devoured. He was drowning in his desire. He struggled to touch Severus everywhere, to rip his clothes off, and whined in frustration when Snape captured his wrists and pinned them to the bed.
"Mine," Snape purred, laving his claim mark.
He clutched at the bed linen as Severus' wicked tongue glided over his skin, tasting every bit of him.
Somewhere along the way Snape the professor had turned into Severus the lover. Remus' mind was beyond reason. All that mattered was that tongue, those fingers. He moaned with pleasure as Severus teased and licked his nipples making them sensitive. His fingers tortured his abdomen with teasing touches. Severus continued downward, dipping his tongue into his navel, drawing a shudder of pleasure from Remus. He followed the trail of brown hair that disappeared beneath Remus' trousers.
Growling possessively, Severus broke the zipper and button on said trousers. Severus had never realized how tempting his mate could be until he lay there, splayed beneath him. Even though Remus' face appeared thin, his body was marvelously fit and healthy. How could he have hidden this beauty beneath those ragged teaching robes?
/Note to self: Burn all of his clothes and buy him new ones/ he mused as he continued with his task of making Remus mewl with desire.
~oOo@oOo~
Mirrored obsidians orbs stared deep into each other. Both warriors sensed the beginnings of the new bond. Goku smiled in the darkness of his shared room as he spooned close to Vegeta, rubbing his expanded belly. Vegeta closed his eyes in contentment. Goku sensed the new life within his mate's body, and eagerly anticipated the day that he would hold his precious child.
"Go to sleep Kakarott," came the gruff, sleepy command.
"I can't."
"Why not?"
Goku propped himself up on his left elbow. "I was just thinking about the baby."
Vegeta smiled, half-asleep, "I'm sure that he will be fine."
"He, huh? I'm praying to Kami that he will bless us with a beautiful girl," he exclaimed bending down to kiss his lover on the temple while running slender fingers through flaming hair.
"If Kami cares anything about us he will give us a boy. Now, go to sleep," Vegeta commanded again, biting back a yawn.
"Do you think that he will notice?"
Vegeta knew which 'he' Kakarott was referring to. "Well, if he doesn't the wolf will." The prince chuckled. "I would give anything to be a fly on the wall to see his reaction."
Goku leaned over to give his mate a chaste kiss before closing his eyes to get some much-needed sleep.
~oOo@oOo~
Severus woke early the following morning with a splitting headache. He couldn't remember being sick since. . .well, never! Not only did his head hurt, but also his lower back was killing him.
He touched the wound on his neck where Remus had returned his claim and purred with delight. The night had been long and exhausting and he felt drained. He could feel his skin *itching *. Was this a normal effect of mating? He wasn't sure, and was unable to interpret these sensations.
He suspected it was probably related to moon, but Severus wasn't worried. From what he had learned and observed he wouldn't be able to transform without a tail, which had been removed when he was younger.
Severus untangled himself from his slumbering mate and stretched languidly, running slender fingers through tousled reddish-black hair. He quietly eased off the bed placing both feet on the floor. He needed to take something for this headache. After that he was going to have a house-elf to bring them breakfast. As soon as he stood to take a step he fell over.
"Goddamnit, now what?!" he cursed.
Unfortunately, the loud noise woke-up Remus.
Remus blinked a few times to get his vision to focus. He felt content for the first time in his life. He smiled at the recent memory of Severus making love with him. A light blush highlighted his cheeks. He was very surprised how aggressive the formerly shy Severus had been. His blush deepened as certain images passed through his memory.
Every muscle in his body ached. At one point he thought that Snape was going to kill him from the savage claiming. He never would have thought that Severus was a sadist. The place where Snape bit him still throbbed angrily. /Hell, I'll probably never be able to sit down again. /
Remus turned over to seek out his bedmate, only to find that he was on the floor cursing up a storm. He peeked over the side of the king size four- poster bed.
"Sev, what are you doing down there?"
Severus huffed, blowing his hair out of his face. "Well, don't just lie there looking at me, help me up, Rem." The professor easily slipped back into using his lover's nickname from when they went to school.
Remus climbed out of bed, not thinking about his lack of clothes, to help his mate to his feet. He swayed a little. He had no intention of leaving this room today. It was a good thing there were no classes today or else Remus would be in serious trouble.
Thinking of Sirius, Remus frowned. He was going to have to talk with his friend and explain to him what happened. Remus just wasn't sure how he was going to break the news to him that he and Snape, no correction - Severus, were mated.
Remus held out his hand to his partner. Once the Potions professor was standing something snaked itself around Remus' right wrist.
"Oh, my god! Sev, what the hell is that?!!"
Severus looked down to see what his mate was looking at. "Shit!" he exclaimed, then fainted, pulling Remus down with him.
~oOo@oOo~
A/N: Yup! I'm evil for ending it there but hey at least I sorta guarantee that you'll come back to read the next chapter ^_~ Well, what do you think happened to Severus and what has Remus on edge? Were you happy with the Severus & Remus pairing? If not, than I'm sorry, I tried. I wanted a Sirius & Severus pairing but I wasn't feeling it. I think that they work better as opposites. So, tell me what you think?
Voldemort is planning something big. Hmm, looks like he's going to be trouble. Any guesses on what he's planning.
Wow, Harry and Draco are engaged. Cool! Well, I'm not going to drag out their engagement 'cause I want to get to the wedding night ^_~
Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have.

Teaser Chapter 10: You are mine!
The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was sitting across from his friend. Remus didn't know what to do with his hands or feet or anything that he could rattle on the table. Finally after twenty minutes of staring at his partner in crime and pranks, Sirius decided to break the ice.
"Moony, I-"
"Padfoot, I'm sorry for last week and avoiding you all this time." Remus had cut him off.
Sirius shook his head. "I over-reacted and..."
"And you were jealous." Remus smiled. Their friendship would survive, he'd hoped. "I need to tell you something Padfoot, and I don't want to lose your friendship over this," Remus had lowered his voice. He could feel his heart move into his throat and it was pounding loudly in his ears.
Sirius brushed some of his long bangs out of his cerulean eyes. He grabbed onto his friend hand silently giving him encouragement.
"Whatever you have to say Moony, you can tell me."
Remus was about to tell his friend his secret when. . .

WARNING: This is about male/male relationships. If you have a problem with that then I suggest that you go elsewhere.
As a side note: This chapter has been edited for lemons so if you want the unedited version of this chapter please let me know and I'll will send it to you by email ^_~
Hello everyone! First of all I would like to say thank you to each and everyone of you for the fantastic reviews and encouragement for me to continue. I'm writing this fic for my very good friend Kewla ^_~
Next I want to give a special thank you to the Pixel Goddess for keeping me in check and adding her input when my brain could not supply that special touch. I would be lost without her ^_~
Now, to answer some questions that were eating some of you at the core:
~V: You were on the money with the 'blood' theory. It's was more animalistic in nature. That's why Sirius wouldn't have been the right choice for Snape.
~LingXiaoyu: Not necessarily using the term soul mates but intended bond mates.
~Christine G: The triangle was to throw you off. Did it work? Read on and find out it anything comes of it. As for Voldemort let's just say that there is more going on than he's letting us all believe ^_~
~Nelia: You're right it's not good when Voldemort was asking Lucius about the bond. Well, I'm glad that Remus and Sirius' relationship was in question. Yes, that's why Goku is so protective of Vegeta because of the loss of their first child.
~Kewla: I'm glad that you approve of the choice in pairings. Oh, and so you know we haven't saw the last of Parkinson. Angst? No way! Like I said before nothing bad will happen to *any* of them. You're correct about Harry and Draco but read on and find how the students of Hogwarts will response to their relationship.

~oOo@oOo~
Goku reappeared just outside the pitch, still keeping a firm hold on Remus and Snape. He stood between the raging men, as Snape continued to growl.
"Snape, get a hold of yourself!" Goku yelled. Gone was the cheerful Saiyan to be replaced by a stern and meaningful fighter.
The Potions Master gradually came back to his senses, shocked by his own behavior. He lost the tight rein of control that he had over his emotions. When Remus touched him, the only thing he wanted to do was to take the other wizard and claim him.
This was what Dumbledore had warned him about. Snape had been fighting the pull since he had come of age. For the longest time he didn't know what was going on with his body. The only thing that he knew was that he wanted - no he needed the werewolf, like a drowning man needed a lifeline.
His instincts to mark the werewolf over-powered his being. He had tried for so long to avoid Lupin that he had purposely picked arguments with Sirius to distract him. However, he should have known that once the Headmaster had pointed it out there would be no way to ignore his growing attraction toward Lupin. He thought that by ignoring the feeling that it would dissipate. It didn't work - being this close to his desired mate only fueled the fire.
What made matters even worse was it was a few days until the next full moon. Remus' sense of smell was sure to be heightened, so that meant.
"Of all the idiotic stunts that Black has pulled this by far is the most." Snape muttered. Goddamn Sirius, all of this was the bloody mutt's fault.
"What happened back there?" Remus was confused. He could smell that Snape's scent was little off. It was as if he was... Lupin's eyes snapped open in surprised recognition. "Severus...?"
"Tell him Snape," Goku urged.
Severus growled and yanked his arm out of Goku's grasp. "I will not subject myself to Lupin's ridicule over wanting him as my mate. I have - " Snape ranted, then realized what he just said. "Shit!"
"Ridicule over...mate...?" Remus stared at him, stunned.
Snape's next move was totally unexpected by Lupin. He cupped Remus' face between his smooth large hands and passionately kissed him. When Severus broke the kiss, Remus stared at him in wonder. Snape backed away, morphing into an animal as he moved.
For the first time Remus recognized the illegal animagus he had only caught glimpses of in the past. Golden eyes widened at the retreating figure. Under the blanket of night a large silver wolf vanished through a thicket of trees that outlined the Forbidden Forest.
Remus stood in shock, bringing his fingers up to touch his lips. The kiss had left him wanting more. "Goku, what...he kissed me?"
Goku smiled at the stunned wizard.
"Why would Snape do that?"
"He was marking you."
Remus growled in confusion and annoyance. "Does he think I'm that weak? He thinks he can just claim me without a fight? I'm not some submissive male that he can come to when he can't find someone to get off on!" Remus snapped. He was not happy that he was being marked like some Beta.
"No, that's not it Remus," Goku replied, grinning.
"Then what the bloody hell?" Remus asked, exasperated.
"You're his 'intended'. Snape is a Saiyan. That's how..."
Goku didn't get a chance to finish because he was suddenly busy picking Remus up off the damp grass. Remus had fainted from the news.
In the blink of an eye Goku faded from view with his load, returning to the tower for Vegeta's help in dealing with this. Snape had to be found before the teacher's need overtook him. If it took too long, Snape would tear up the castle searching for his mate.
It wouldn't be good for anyone else to come across the unpredictable male. Snape could accidentally hurt them in his quest to find Remus, which Goku wanted to avoid at all costs.
~oOo@oOo~
Draco was now sitting up in bed. The potion that Madam Pomfrey had given him did the trick. His mind wandered a little with his eyes closing slightly. His father had visited earlier and left the package that he asked for. Now he was waiting for his boyfriend to come.
The door opened partly to reveal not the dark haired Gryffindor, but another blonde.
"Hi Dra."
"Blaise, shouldn't you be in class?" Draco asked, a little disappointed that it wasn't Harry, but still pleased to see his friend.
"Yeah, but I wanted to make sure that you were doing better."
"Yes, I am feeling much better. In fact-" but Draco stopped mid-sentence as the door swung open to reveal the object of his dreams.
"I'll talk with you later." Blaise grinned, easing out of the room.
"Hey," Harry greeted. "I got your message." He took the chair that was next to the bed. He smiled at Draco, and asked him teasingly, "What could you possibly need that is worth making me late for class?" Harry was just thankful that he didn't have Snape for his morning class.
Draco said nothing as he got up and properly welcomed his boyfriend. Harry melted on the spot, forgetting about that he had classes to attend. Draco pulled away slightly letting his forehead touch Harry's. Strands of blonde hair fell about his face.
"Harry...I was going to...to wait until Christmas...but in light of what had happened...I can't wait," Draco began. His stomach was doing somersaults. He took a deep breath. /I can do this/ he thought.
"Just tell me," Harry encouraged.
Draco reached under the blankets and pulled out a small forest green velvet box. He turned it toward Harry and opened it. "I've never done this before so please bear with me." Draco's voice quavered.
He removed the tiny object from its' plush confines and held Harry's left hand in his. "I known for quite some time that I love you Harry but I was too afraid to tell you for fear of you rejecting me, but after my accident I don't ever want to lose a chance to tell you how I feel. I love you Harry and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?"
Draco had the gold band half way on Harry's slender finger. The ring was encrusted with four small diamonds surrounding the large center stone.
Tears streaked down Harry's face as he nodded his head and hugged his now fiancé. "Yes, Draco. Yes." Draco cupped his face and sealed their promise of marriage with a hot fiery kiss. Their tongues swirled around each other, playing and promising delights that would come once they joined.
Clapping could be heard behind them. They broke apart, both of their faces flushed. The teens' chests were heaving as they tried to calm their breathing.
"I was hoping that I would catch you Dragon, before you went back to sleep."
"Father, I thought that you and Professor Dumbledore were in a meeting?"
"Lucius decided that he needed to make sure that you were well, just in case young Harry here said 'no'," Dumbledore replied with amusement.
"You knew?" Mirrored silver eyes accused.
Lucius' facial expression never changed. "I knew all along that you and Pot- Harry would end up together."
Draco's face slipped just a little but he recovered. "You knew! And you didn't tell me - us?" he gestured between himself and Harry.
"You needed to figure that out on your own, without any help from me or your Mother. Narcissa was worried that you wanted to marry Parkinson," Lucius concluded with a slight sneer of disdain in his low even voice.
"Speaking of Pansy, what's going to happen to her now?" Harry asked.
"Considering what she has done to you and Draco, not to mention what Miss Parkinson has done to Prince Vegeta, I think that expulsion would be in order," Professor Dumbledore noted with some sadness. His normally cheerful smile was gone - even the dazzling twinkle in his rich blue eyes was no longer present.
"Could you two excuse us? I need to speak with my son in private," Lucius requested.
Harry gave Draco a chaste kiss before departing with the Headmaster. Once the door was closed Lucius sat down in the chair that Harry was occupying just mere moments before.
"Dad-" Draco addressed his father.
"When will you and Harry seal your bond?"
"I don't know. We haven't made any plans that far in advance. I just proposed to him. Why do you ask?" Draco could feel his father's apprehension about the upcoming ceremony.
"I'm not going to hold out on you about this my Dragon. You and Harry must be bound before your eighteenth birthday. You know that right?"
"Yes, you've stressed that I don't know how many times." Draco waved it off as superfluous information. "I was thinking right before Spring Break. That way we could use that time for a honeymoon or something."
Lucius inwardly smiled at his son's thinking. That was clever planning. "Dragon, I must request that you keep the guest list down to a bare minimum."
"Why Father? I know that Mother would love to plan such an auspicious event."
"There are reasons that I cannot and will not tell you," Lucius said thinking about what Voldemort would do once he found out. "However, I'm more concerned about your wedding night."
Draco raised an elegant brow. He figured that his father wasn't worried about him knowing what to do. It was more likely he was concerned because he doubted Harry had any experience pertaining to the sexual aspects of a relationship.
Now, as the young Slytherin thought about it, he realized there were other issues as well. "Uh, Dad?"
"Yes Dragon."
Draco bit down on his lower lip, making it swell a little. This action alone was enough to let Lucius know that his son was worried about something.
"Could Harry...I'm not exactly sure how I should word this but-"
"You're wondering if Harry could get pregnant, right?"
The other blonde nodded his head without opening his mouth.
Lucius let out a long sigh. "As far as I know Dragon, it is very likely that he could after the first time."
Another thought crossed Draco's mind. "What if he's not ready?"
"You mean to have kids, or sex?"
"Both."
The elder Malfoy smirked. "I cannot tell you how to solve that problem. However, I will tell you this: try talking to him about it." Lucius stood to leave. "Now, I must go. I have some other business that I need to tend to before I go. Try and get some rest. Don't worry about it too much." With a swirl of his cloak Lucius was gone.
The Malfoy heir had plenty to mull over. Draco settled down in the bed to think about how to discuss the upcoming binding ritual that would join him and Harry together, but no matter how he looked at it it was a high probability that Harry would become pregnant.
~oOo@oOo~
The tall Saiyan warrior laid Remus down on the sofa and stalked upstairs in search of his partner. Goku walked through the bedroom door to find Vegeta sprawled out on the bed. The vision of the smaller was something that Goku could only describe as beautiful.
Vegeta was asleep on top of the comforter. His spandex uniform had become uncomfortable around his expanding stomach. The royal glowed as each day passed by. Goku never had seen such beauty as he did when he drank in the radiance of his lover, but he had no time to submerge himself in such erotic thoughts. There was a serious problem that needed to be resolved.
Goku groaned inwardly. "Hey koi," he said nudging his partner.
"Hmm?" Vegeta answered in his sleep-induced state.
"Geta, please wake-up," Goku pleaded. He cursed the sleeping draught for working against him instead of with him.
"Not now Kay. I'm too tired." Vegeta was having a very good dream. Goku saw the rise in his lover's pants. He probably would have laughed if the situation were not so serious.
"Vegeta, please get up. Snape is in heat," Goku begged.
That finally got his attention. Vegeta shot up out of the bed. "Nani?!"
"Somehow when Remus touched Snape's hand it triggered his heat cycle. I think that he had been fighting the pull toward Remus and now it's too much for him to handle," Goku explained.
"Shittama! Where is Snape now?" the prince asked while he properly dressed himself. He now wore a dark blue gi similar to Goku's. He was a bit disoriented from the sleeping potion.
"He took off toward the Forbidden Forest, but I'm sure once everything has set-in he will look for Remus."
"Where's the Wolf?"
"Downstairs. Snape marked him, so he can track his scent. I'm just not sure if he's fully aware of that. Vegeta, I'm not positive if Lupin wants Snape as a mate - he was kind of confused."
"Shimatta!" Vegeta was out of the door and downstairs when he came across the slowly recovering wizard. This was so not good. Snape would regain his senses and would be fighting mad to get to this male. The only reasonable thing to do was to get Remus into Snape's private rooms. It was even more important that he found Snape before things got out of hand.
"Kakarott, I'm going to look for Snape. Explain to the Wolf what is going on, but whatever you do, get him-" Vegeta said as his pointed a slender gloved finger in the Dark Arts teacher's direction. "- into Snape's room."
Without another word Vegeta turned to leave the tower but he returned to his mate and brought his lips to him. Goku moaned into his prince's hot warm mouth asking for more but soon the prince and soft luscious lips were nothing more than faint traces against his own.
~oOo@oOo~
The Potions Master was now resting at the forest's edge. He didn't trek too deeply into the forbidden area. He knew he had failed miserably. Snape transformed back into his human form not long after he left Lupin and Goku.
He wanted Remus J. Lupin to be his mate. He had been attracted to him all through their school years, but had resisted, fearing more rejection and ridicule. He learned that lesson early on. He had never really examined his motives for learning to become an animagus. He should have known the first time the spell worked and he became a wolf - there was no avoiding his desire for Remus. The need burned in him during full moons - to change, to watch his intended - even from a distance, but he couldn't bring himself to do it lately, especially since Black was always with him.
He had seen others - students and teachers - go through their dating rituals and courtships. They all seemed strange to him. This attraction he had for Remus was different, he knew it, but he didn't understand why. Finally, at Dumbledore's insistence Snape, along with Lucius and select students from each House, took a class called Other Species and Their Origins.
At first Severus didn't understand why he needed to take such as course but he soon realized what the Headmaster was getting at. He still didn't know that he was a Saiyan even though the class had briefly discussed Saiyan mating rituals.
Severus had deduced that he was going through some sort of weird wizarding puberty. He struggled to resist his attraction to the werewolf during their remaining school years, becoming even more withdrawn.
It wasn't until they had left Hogwarts that he admitted to himself that he missed the young werewolf and Remus really meant something to him. His heart ached at the loss of never telling him of his true feelings.
Ever since Potter's third year he resented Dumbledore for not assigning him the most coveted position as Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor. After that year he didn't think that he would ever recover from seeing Lupin and having his heart broken again.
Then the Headmaster had informed who the new Dark Arts professor would be. He was both ecstatic and terrified to see Remus return to Hogwarts. Then Vegeta and Goku showed up. That hunger he had felt for Lupin came crashing back over him, even worse than before. Somehow the couple had reawakened his long-buried Saiyan instincts.
Severus needed the other male. He could still smell him; still taste him. He was on fire, his blood burning in his veins. His skin was hot to the touch and he *itched *. It felt like flames were running down his back, ending at the base of his spine where Vegeta had touched him.
It was becoming so hard to think. The only thing that kept running through his mind was his hunger to claim and dominate the werewolf. Snape's head snapped up and he growled a warning when he sensed another male. He sniffed an intruder - a marked, pregnant male - unclaimable.
"Go away Vegeta!" he bared his teeth at the blue-blooded Saiyan.
"No, you need to get back to the Wolf and finish this."
"I will not force a claim on him," he spat.
"You've all ready marked him. What's keeping you from bonding to him? If you continue like this you will become a danger to those around you."
"What the fuck do you care?!" Clearly Snape was not in a talkative mood.
"I don't, but the old man does." Vegeta's hand rested on his tummy, as a protective gesture against Snape. He didn't want any harm to come to his unborn child.
"I...he doesn't want me as a mate. I've seen the way he looks at me."
Vegeta scoffed. "Don't be so sure. Why don't you remove that ridiculous charm so he can see you for who you really are."
Snape was slightly affronted. "How did you know?"
"Hn, even though I can not penetrate your mind, some of your thoughts leaked through. Remove the charm," Vegeta said with finality.
The teacher thought back to when the charm was cast. Dumbledore didn't give him details, but told him the charm was necessary because a mysterious enemy was looking for him. It was also needed because he had been stupid enough to join Voldemort and receive Dark Mark, without considering the consequences of that decision.
As Severus became older the charm would progress, making him look as if the evil deeds he was supposedly performing were taking their toll on him. The charm was cast to be undetectable and designed so only he or Dumbledore could remove it.
However, he had discovered years ago that Dumbledore deceived him yet again. The charm could not be removed until either the Dark Lord was defeated or Snape had admitted to himself he had found his 'intended'. Severus had never believed the spell would ever be removed.
The unlikely defeat of the Dark Lord seemed to depend upon the improbable success of Potter. He had long since given up on Remus accepting him as a mate, and no other person had attracted his interest. Not that he was really looking for another mate. Snape gritted his teeth in frustration. Vegeta was right. The situation had changed and he could remove the concealing charm. "I will do it after I claim Remus, but not before."
"Kakarott has brought him to your rooms - I do not think he will reject your claim. But I warn you now Snape, you've delayed too long for this to be a gentle thing. The moon is too close to being full, and after waiting over fifteen years to claim him, your animal instincts will be more feral.
I doubt that Lupin will be able to establish himself as the dominant mate." Vegeta thought back to when he and Kakarott had mated. The moon had been full, and the affair had been brutal and bloody.
"I have no intention of allowing him to dominate me," Snape growled, baring his teeth.
Vegeta smirked. From the very first day he perceived Snape as a dominant male. "Try not to kill him."
The Saiyan males walked back to the castle in relative silence. However, Vegeta knew that with each step Snape was becoming more unhinged. He was fighting his aggressive side not to bolt in search of Lupin. This was going to be interesting. Not only was Severus fighting his heat but he was also fighting the effects of the upcoming full moon.
At least the effects of the full moon wouldn't be as bad since the Potions professor's rooms were deep in the dungeons.
~oOo@oOo~
As Harry walked into the Great Hall all eyes were on him. He tried his best not to blush in embarrassment and buckle under the pressure of the funny looks but it was hard. He caught some of the hushed whispers as he made his way to sit with his friends.
"Can you believe it? He and Malfoy are supposed to be soul mates..."
"No wonder he never dated any girls..."
"What a waste..."
Harry finally arrived at his house table. He really didn't feel at home with his housemates either. Dean and Seamus were staring at him in disapproval. Ginny looked as if she had been crying, as well as Padma and Lavender. Colin Creevy just glared along with Neville. Apparently, their savior wasn't supposed to like boys. This was not how he had wanted every one to know that he was gay.
"Harry, did everything turn out okay with Draco?" Hermione asked. None of the Trio was interested in eating at the moment.
"Yeah, Mr. Malfoy told us that knew about us being bound."
"He was okay with it? That's good to know. Now, maybe I can ask you," Hermione continued on without pausing. "Harry, you do know that once you and Draco get married and bound it's for life, right?"
Harry gave this some thought. He didn't know that he would be mated to Draco forever but it just seemed right. He didn't have a problem living the rest of his life with someone that he loved. Even more importantly, Draco loved him back.
"To be honest, I didn't know - but I don't care. I love Draco and nothing is going to keep us from being together," he replied truthfully.
"But what about You-Know-Who?" Ron cut in.
Leave it to the redhead to spoil a good moment. Harry frowned. "What about him? From what I've heard, Voldemort has been keeping a low profile. Should I put off being happy waiting for what might happen? If I do, he's already won."
"But..."
" No," Harry shook his head in denial. "I refuse to worry about it. Hermione, did you ever if out that information about male pregnancies?"
"Yes, Harry I did. It seems that only a few were recorded. Believe it or not Godric Gryffindor was one. Your bloodline is one of the few in the wizarding world to have male pregnancies. It is also one of the few that has members finding their soul-mates." Hermione couldn't bring herself to tell her friend that the other wizarding bloodline was Slytherin.
After dinner the Trio trekked back to Harry's tower. They had some studying to do. None of them noticed a piece of paper slipping out of Hermione's notebook and gliding noiselessly to the other side of the room.
Blaise had been preparing to see Draco to give him his class notes for the weeks he had been in a coma. Since he didn't have time earlier when Harry showed. As he stood to leave for the infirmary, he spotted the sheet Hermione dropped. He quickly stepped over and trapped it beneath his loafer.
Bending down to retrieve the paper, his eyes widened when he carefully read the contents of the note:
{Among some of the oldest wizarding bloodlines to bare children from male 'mothers' included Merlin, Gryffindor and Slytherin. This also meant that their male descendants inherited the ability to conceive. In more recent history it has been discovered that several bloodlines carry the trait for male pregnancies: Black, Malfoy, and Lu-} The note ended with there.
So, Draco had the potential to become pregnant. Blaise tucked the paper in his book bag. Granger had been researching some very *interesting * things, and he some questions for the brunette.

~ Miles away from Hogwarts ~
Voldemort sat proudly upon his self-proclaimed throne. Most of his followers remained, returning to him when he summoned them. He looked about his sanctuary, examining his minions with a shrewd eye. He knew that something was going on with Malfoy and Snape but he couldn't quite place it.
No matter though, he was going to have their loyalties proven once and for all. He inwardly smiled as he beckoned his newest follower closer.
"My Lord, how may I be of service to you?"
"Tell me, my pet, what has Lucius and Severus on edge?" the dark wizard asked.
"It seems that Dumbledore has requested to aid of outsiders, Muggles, but they are like no Muggles that I have ever seen."
Crimson orbs ignited. "Tell me."
~oOo@oOo~
Vegeta stayed alongside Snape until they were inside of his private chambers. Snape refused to ask how in Merlin's name did Goku get into his rooms without setting off the wards or using a password. Remus stopped his pacing like a caged animal long enough to stare at Snape in wonder as he entered the room.
The prince took a seat next to his mate. His tail thumped loudly on the black leather sofa while Goku's tail coiled around his wrist to show the other males that the royal was clearly off-limits.
"Remus. . " Snape began, trying in vain to make eye contact as Remus ducked his head.
"I am not going to say that I understand because I don't. How can you be a Saiyan, Severus?" Remus had finally stopped and watched from under his bangs as Snape moved over the bar.
"I just recently found out myself," Snape pulled out a half-empty bottle of brandy, wishing it were stronger. He was trying to stay away from Lupin but his scent was starting to suffocate him. It didn't matter where he turned, the scent of spice and wood tingled his senses. Snape put the bottle back down unopened and bit back a growl.
"Look as much as we want to stay and watch the show, I'm tired. Fight it out for all I care, or better still kill each other. I'm warning you both - your need to be dominant is going to be strong," Vegeta said, not wishing to be in the room any longer than necessary.
"Remus, are you. . .?" Goku asked, concerned for his friend's well being.
Vegeta smirked as Lupin distractedly waved them away, not tearing his eyes off Severus.
"See ya." Goku grinned, grabbed onto Vegeta, and vanished into thin air.
The wizards hardly noticed the pair had left.
Remus edged closer to Snape. Snape rumbled a warning deep in his chest and lunged at his prey, pinning him to the floor with his weight.
"Damn it, Severus what's gotten into you?!" Remus felt a thrill of fear, as he felt the corded muscles in the arms he was struggling to remove from his shoulders.
Snape ran his tongue over his prey's ear, and then nibbled on his lobe, before breathlessly hissing, "Let's make this as painless as possible." His voice flowed smoothly over Remus' ear making him shiver. "For years now I've denied myself the pleasure of claiming you."
The silkiness of the Potions Master's voice was making the other male melt. He so rarely got to hear that tone. Snape brought a hand up to caress Remus' slightly wan face. Unable to wait, he crushed the other's lips with his own, his tongue - asking, begging, demanding admittance. Lupin allowed him in and Severus plundered his mouth. Remus returned the kiss and their tongues continued the battle for dominance.
He finally drew away, pulling in shuddering breaths. He was burning again; the fire searing its' way down his spine. He had to make Remus his.
Severus inhaled Remus' scent. He could sense that Remus was an Alpha male and fighting for dominance would take a great deal of effort. Snape didn't want to hurt him, but he had to be in control. Remus was a strong spirited wizard and Severus knew he was going to fight him tooth and nail.
The other wizard smelt the Saiyan's arousal. It was just like this when they were on the pitch. Remus snarled and brought up his knee to Snape's chest and pushed him off. Remus rolled over quickly and rose to his feet. He stood in a fighting stance. Snape landed on his back, but quickly regained his footing.
"I am not some bitch that you can use for breeding Snape!"
"I want you as my mate, you fool, not my bitch. But you *will * submit to me." The hungry look was back in the Saiyan's obsidian orbs. Severus removed his long flowing robe and overcoat. Remus took an involuntary step back as Snape moved closer, standing before him in his long sleeve Eton collar white shirt and black trousers.
Remus sucked in a breath of air. The sight of the Potions Master sent a wave of blood straight to his groin. He could feel himself getting hard. He had always thought Snape was a walking sex god and didn't even know it. However, Remus pushed those kinds of thoughts to the back of his mind. That had to wait until this fight was over - until then he had bigger fish to fry, as the Muggle saying went.
The wizard's charged each other. Snape swung with his right but Remus ducked to avoid the hit. He quickly punched Snape in the stomach. Severus took the hit with a grunt. He countered the move with kick to Remus' side.
The fight for dominance had begun.
~oOo@oOo~
Loud booms could be heard on the upper levels of the castle. Dumbledore and McGonagall sat together drinking tea.
The Headmaster smiled at the recent turn of events.
"Honestly, Albus, none of the girls have ever been this destructive."
"Hmmm...I seem to recall some broken furniture with Madam Hooch. . "
"Really, Albus! I still think that Remus and Severus should have been outside for this," Minerva commented while inhaling the calming drink.
"Oh, nonsense my dear, If anything they are tearing up Severus' main room. I placed protective wards around the room to ensure that no one outside or near his chambers would be harmed. He can put it back together in no time," he explained beaming.
"What should we tell the students if they ask?"
"That Professors Snape and Lupin are on a short leave," Dumbledore smiled at the Deputy Headmistress.
Minerva shook her head. She had never in all her years thought she would live to see the day when Severus took a mate. She figured that everything happens for a reason. She would have to send Prince Vegeta and Mr. Son a personal thank you gift for making the young wizard come to his senses.
~oOo@oOo~
Harry was sitting in his room with Hermione and Ron chatting quietly when they heard his roommates climbing the stairs. In this stage of his pregnancy, Vegeta could no longer levitate himself or cast energy blasts, which everyone was quietly thankful for. Vegeta was now like a child wielding a wand.
The prince seemed more worn-out and tired. Dark visible shadows were always present beneath his expressionless charcoal eyes. Madam Pomfrey had given Goku strict instructions to bring the prince back to the infirmary if Vegeta complained about any cramping or spotting.
Harry was thinking about Draco. His life had taken a different turn of sorts. He was unconsciously fingering his engagement ring when Ron broke into his thoughts.
"Hey mate? Are you going to tell us what Malfoy wanted or what?" the redhead asked. He had come to terms about the Slytherin prince being in his friend's life but he wasn't going to change his opinion of him overnight. And he certainly wasn't ready to start calling him by his first name just yet.
Harry had been wondering how he was going to break the news of his engagement to his best friends. He knew that Hermione would be elated but Ron was still trying to adjust to the situation. He thought that maybe he could put it off for a day or two but Hermione had spotted the ring.
"Harry, is that an engagement ring? Did Draco propose to you?"
"Uh, yeah. It was rather unexpected, but Mr. Malfoy had convinced me that I belonged at Draco's side. When Draco came to he asked me to marry him," Harry explained in a quiet tone.
~oOo@oOo~
Panting heavily Remus lay underneath his soon-to-be-lover. He was tired and bleeding. Snape had his share of wounds, but his were worse. He cursed himself for being so weak. Remus had never expected to be so easily dominated. But it had happened. Snape, of all people, had beaten him into submission. He showed an unbelievable amount of strength and it still appeared that he had been trying to hold himself back.
Now Remus was pinned to the floor on his stomach, Snape sitting on his thighs. One arm was twisted behind his back and Snape's fingers coiled in his hair, pulling his head back to bare his throat. Remus nearly whined, his fear and arousal mingling to torment him unbearably. He needed. . .oh god, he needed this. . .
"Severus, please. . " he begged, shuddering.
Snape bent to him, his face feral in desire. He could hardly think, the blood, the sweat was taking his mind away. There was just this all- consuming need. . .
"Say it," he growled, dipping his tongue into the hollows of Remus' neck. "Say you are mine."
"Yes. . .I-I am yours. . " he conceded breathlessly, drawing his head further back to bare more of his vulnerable throat.
Snape gave a howl of triumph as he buried his teeth into the tender pale flesh between Remus' neck and shoulder. The wolf's blood was tangy. Remus moaned softly as Severus suckled the crimson substance as if he was a babe drinking from his mother's breast.
Snape gently released his mate, and turned Remus on his back. He looked at him hungrily and returned to his neck, lapping up the waning remnants of blood, kissing the wound making his mate moan again.
Gasping for air Remus clung onto his mate's shoulders. "Severus, you shouldn't have done that," he said worriedly.
Obsidian orbs stared longingly into passion-filled golden ones. Snape placed a phantom kiss on the side of Remus' mouth. "I know what I'm doing. You have no fear of my turning into a werewolf. That will only work if *you* are in your wolf form. Now, since I've marked you, your wolf self will not harm me. I will be identified as your dominant mate," Snape replied smoothly, a smirk marring his features. Strangely, it reminded Remus of the short-tempered prince.
Snape suddenly rose, drawing Remus to his feet. He left the room, knowing Remus would follow without question.
Remus noticed that his mate's room was fairly large with a four-poster bed decorated in royal blue. He had not expected that. For the longest time he imagined that Severus' bedchamber would be decked out in his house colors.
Remus could tell that Snape was a neat freak. Nothing was out of place. Even the bookshelves were immaculate, not even a speck of dust. He then wondered why the Potions Master's storeroom looked like a natural disaster had gone through it. He shrugged his shoulders as best as he could and cautiously followed.
The werewolf stood at in the door of the bathroom quietly watching the Potions professor. Severus pointed his wand at the mirror and said a spell. A sliver of light expelled from the tip of Snape's wand hitting the mirror to only bounce back and hit him.
Remus was about to shout at him for doing something stupid when the effects of the spell took hold. Snape's skin color deepened from its normal sallow appearance to a golden tan. Crooked stained teeth straightened and brightened to a gleaming pearly white. Remus saw sharp canines and incisors. He licked his lips, remembering the euphoria Snape's bite had brought him, becoming even more aroused.
Remus saw auburn highlights throughout the jet-black hair. The dark hair didn't look greasy and stringy, but soft and straight. Remus could also make out a slight widow's peak from the pulled back hair. He stared closely and for the second the time that night he saw the resemblance between his mate and Vegeta.
Remus was at a loss for words but if he had to describe the vision before him he could sum it up in one word, "Beautiful."
The word left Severus stunned. The charm had been in place for so long, he no longer knew what he really looked like.
Now, with no other doubt in his mind he turned to Remus and smirking with delight he began to stalk his prey.
Remus was thoroughly enjoying this game. He may be claimed, but he wasn't yet captured. He backed away from his hunter, retreating until the backs of his legs made contact with the bed.
Snape growled in delight and pounced, pressing his smaller mate down onto the bed. All control gone, he ripped away the tattered remnants of Remus' shirt.
Once again Remus found himself under the powerful Saiyan. He arched his back giving into the all-consuming need that had arisen in his groin.
His mouth was plundered, devoured. He was drowning in his desire. He struggled to touch Severus everywhere, to rip his clothes off, and whined in frustration when Snape captured his wrists and pinned them to the bed.
"Mine," Snape purred, laving his claim mark.
He clutched at the bed linen as Severus' wicked tongue glided over his skin, tasting every bit of him.
Somewhere along the way Snape the professor had turned into Severus the lover. Remus' mind was beyond reason. All that mattered was that tongue, those fingers. He moaned with pleasure as Severus teased and licked his nipples making them sensitive. His fingers tortured his abdomen with teasing touches. Severus continued downward, dipping his tongue into his navel, drawing a shudder of pleasure from Remus. He followed the trail of brown hair that disappeared beneath Remus' trousers.
Growling possessively, Severus broke the zipper and button on said trousers. Severus had never realized how tempting his mate could be until he lay there, splayed beneath him. Even though Remus' face appeared thin, his body was marvelously fit and healthy. How could he have hidden this beauty beneath those ragged teaching robes?
/Note to self: Burn all of his clothes and buy him new ones/ he mused as he continued with his task of making Remus mewl with desire.
~oOo@oOo~
Mirrored obsidians orbs stared deep into each other. Both warriors sensed the beginnings of the new bond. Goku smiled in the darkness of his shared room as he spooned close to Vegeta, rubbing his expanded belly. Vegeta closed his eyes in contentment. Goku sensed the new life within his mate's body, and eagerly anticipated the day that he would hold his precious child.
"Go to sleep Kakarott," came the gruff, sleepy command.
"I can't."
"Why not?"
Goku propped himself up on his left elbow. "I was just thinking about the baby."
Vegeta smiled, half-asleep, "I'm sure that he will be fine."
"He, huh? I'm praying to Kami that he will bless us with a beautiful girl," he exclaimed bending down to kiss his lover on the temple while running slender fingers through flaming hair.
"If Kami cares anything about us he will give us a boy. Now, go to sleep," Vegeta commanded again, biting back a yawn.
"Do you think that he will notice?"
Vegeta knew which 'he' Kakarott was referring to. "Well, if he doesn't the wolf will." The prince chuckled. "I would give anything to be a fly on the wall to see his reaction."
Goku leaned over to give his mate a chaste kiss before closing his eyes to get some much-needed sleep.
~oOo@oOo~
Severus woke early the following morning with a splitting headache. He couldn't remember being sick since. . .well, never! Not only did his head hurt, but also his lower back was killing him.
He touched the wound on his neck where Remus had returned his claim and purred with delight. The night had been long and exhausting and he felt drained. He could feel his skin *itching *. Was this a normal effect of mating? He wasn't sure, and was unable to interpret these sensations.
He suspected it was probably related to moon, but Severus wasn't worried. From what he had learned and observed he wouldn't be able to transform without a tail, which had been removed when he was younger.
Severus untangled himself from his slumbering mate and stretched languidly, running slender fingers through tousled reddish-black hair. He quietly eased off the bed placing both feet on the floor. He needed to take something for this headache. After that he was going to have a house-elf to bring them breakfast. As soon as he stood to take a step he fell over.
"Goddamnit, now what?!" he cursed.
Unfortunately, the loud noise woke-up Remus.
Remus blinked a few times to get his vision to focus. He felt content for the first time in his life. He smiled at the recent memory of Severus making love with him. A light blush highlighted his cheeks. He was very surprised how aggressive the formerly shy Severus had been. His blush deepened as certain images passed through his memory.
Every muscle in his body ached. At one point he thought that Snape was going to kill him from the savage claiming. He never would have thought that Severus was a sadist. The place where Snape bit him still throbbed angrily. /Hell, I'll probably never be able to sit down again. /
Remus turned over to seek out his bedmate, only to find that he was on the floor cursing up a storm. He peeked over the side of the king size four- poster bed.
"Sev, what are you doing down there?"
Severus huffed, blowing his hair out of his face. "Well, don't just lie there looking at me, help me up, Rem." The professor easily slipped back into using his lover's nickname from when they went to school.
Remus climbed out of bed, not thinking about his lack of clothes, to help his mate to his feet. He swayed a little. He had no intention of leaving this room today. It was a good thing there were no classes today or else Remus would be in serious trouble.
Thinking of Sirius, Remus frowned. He was going to have to talk with his friend and explain to him what happened. Remus just wasn't sure how he was going to break the news to him that he and Snape, no correction - Severus, were mated.
Remus held out his hand to his partner. Once the Potions professor was standing something snaked itself around Remus' right wrist.
"Oh, my god! Sev, what the hell is that?!!"
Severus looked down to see what his mate was looking at. "Shit!" he exclaimed, then fainted, pulling Remus down with him.
~oOo@oOo~
A/N: Yup! I'm evil for ending it there but hey at least I sorta guarantee that you'll come back to read the next chapter ^_~ Well, what do you think happened to Severus and what has Remus on edge? Were you happy with the Severus & Remus pairing? If not, than I'm sorry, I tried. I wanted a Sirius & Severus pairing but I wasn't feeling it. I think that they work better as opposites. So, tell me what you think?
Voldemort is planning something big. Hmm, looks like he's going to be trouble. Any guesses on what he's planning.
Wow, Harry and Draco are engaged. Cool! Well, I'm not going to drag out their engagement 'cause I want to get to the wedding night ^_~
Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have.

Teaser Chapter 10: You are mine!
The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was sitting across from his friend. Remus didn't know what to do with his hands or feet or anything that he could rattle on the table. Finally after twenty minutes of staring at his partner in crime and pranks, Sirius decided to break the ice.
"Moony, I-"
"Padfoot, I'm sorry for last week and avoiding you all this time." Remus had cut him off.
Sirius shook his head. "I over-reacted and..."
"And you were jealous." Remus smiled. Their friendship would survive, he'd hoped. "I need to tell you something Padfoot, and I don't want to lose your friendship over this," Remus had lowered his voice. He could feel his heart move into his throat and it was pounding loudly in his ears.
Sirius brushed some of his long bangs out of his cerulean eyes. He grabbed onto his friend hand silently giving him encouragement.
"Whatever you have to say Moony, you can tell me."
Remus was about to tell his friend his secret when. . .
