Lily's nails nearly scraped the paint off as her fingers raked across the wall.

Severus was usually a gentle, tender lover but that night he had been deliciously possessive and wickedly punishing.

Lily groaned at the way he nibbled on her collarbone and tightened his grip on her hair while he pounded into her from behind.

"You're mine…...my love, all mine." Severus growled in her ear.

Lily whimpered as his velvet voice sent shivers straight down her spine, all the way into her aching center that greedily swallowed his manhood.

"...Yours." Lily panted in reply as Severus snaked a hand around her middle to find the sensitive outer bits of her womanhood.

While the children and Tilly slept, blissfully unaware, Severus and Lily made full use of the silencing charm that he had cast earlier while they crashed over their blissful peak together.

It only heightened Lily's pleasure when she felt her husband empty himself inside of her in a euphoric haze.

Lily hadn't thought anything about it, the Hogwarts staff dinner that they had attended that evening.

She had sat loyally at Professor Snape's side, his charming, beautiful, polite wife.

Lily had thought that Gilderoy Lockhart had approached her with the same smile and kind words that he used on everyone.

Severus had not shared her feelings, especially when his wife and his most hated colleague had shared a laugh together.

Severus had clenched his fork in his fist as he watched Gilderoy Lockhart display the audacity of laying a hand on his wife's shoulder while they jested.

The touch lasted only a second or two, but that brief amount of time had been enough to send murderous thoughts rippling through Severus's mind.

He had sat with a scowl on his face for the rest of the meal, forced out of social politeness to watch his arrogant enemy openly attempt to charm his mate.

Lily had held Severus's hand under the table for the duration of the event, but that had done little to assuage her alpha's injured pride.

As soon as they had put their children to bed, Severus had attacked his mate, much to her enjoyment.

The moon sat high amidst the twinkling stars as Lily slumped against the wall while Severus lifted her into his strong arms and carried her back to their bed.

"Sev…….." Lily whispered as she wove her fingers into his dark hair while he gently sat her down on top of the covers.

When he glanced at her, the feral look in his black eyes sent an unwelcome gush of arousal surging from Lily's center.

She had only seen her stoic lover that wild on a handful of occasions.

Lily felt almost ashamed of how much it thrilled her when Severus showed her such devoted dominance.

Omegas enjoyed strong alphas.

"I love you, Sev." Lily reassured him with a gentle smile as she took her hands out of Severus's hair to cup his face, "Only you………….you don't have to worry, sweetheart."

"...Does everyone know that?" Severus asked in a dangerously low purr as he crawled over Lily and placed harsh kisses on her skin.

Lily gasped as he nipped at her navel, nuzzled along the scars that his children had left on her body, and nudged his hooked nose into the undersides of her dense breasts.

"T-They should, love." Lily whimpered as Severus purposely placed a biting kiss teasingly close to her nipple in cruel avoidance of the bud that hardened in readiness for him to latch, "I…..I'll gladly tell anyone, our children will-"

"-Our children." Severus interrupted as he let his tongue snake out to swirl around the center of Lily's breast.

She whined needily as she tried to lock her alpha in place and force him to cure the ache in her that he had created, but Severus refused to be coerced.

In one elegant movement, he avoided Lily's grasp and hovered over her with his black hair hanging down to frame his face.

"...Seeing another's….hand….on your shoulder….made me want to vomit." Severus hissed at Lily with a harsh sneer.

Her chest heaved as she listened to her incensed alpha's words while he continued, "Our rings aren't enough, our daughter at school, our sons at home...Your hand in mine……..apparently those are not qualifying messengers of the bond between us…..It boils my blood that anyone dare challenge the strength of our love."

The authoritative tone in Severus's deep, velvet voice while he hovered over top of her made Lily's green eyes widen and her legs spread in a gesture of anticipatory welcoming.

"So eager……." Severus murmured as his black eyes flitted over his wife to eventually settle on the enticing cavern between her thighs.

"Only for you…….Sev." Lily whispered as she relaxed against the pillows and waited, with a cocky grin on her lips and her lustrous, red hair on display.

Lily reached up and tenderly stroked Severus's cheek.

As his black eyes moved back to meet her gaze, shimmering with need and melting with the desire to be loved, Lily sought to comfort her wounded husband.

"I'm your omega, Sev. Your wife….your mate. Haven't I given you my heart?... My soul?...My life?" Lily asked as Severus turned his head and kissed the palm of her hand.

She had him and she knew it.

"...Children?" Lily asked with a smile, "...A home with warm food and a cozy bed?"

Severus placed another warm, wet kiss to the inside of Lily's hand before he moved down and covered her forearm in affectionate nips.

"I'll give you anything that you want, sweetheart." Lily sighed as Severus kissed over her bicep and across her chest.

"Anything!" Lily gasped as his incisors scraped against a particularly sensitive spot at the bottom of her throat, "I-I'm yours, S-Severus! Let me give to you!... Let me love you!"

Severus's kisses ghosted along Lily's elegant neck until they reached her mouth as his hips sank down.

Lily slipped her legs around his waist and drew in a breath when she felt her alpha's heavy arousal press urgently into the underside of her bottom, unbearably close to her waiting center.

"Lily……" Severus whispered as he licked her lips, "You're a good wife, an excellent mother, a wonderful omega…...It is my error, not any fault of your own."

"...Error?" Lily asked as she felt Severus twitch against the soft flesh of her rump.

Severus gave her another long, languid kiss before he pulled back and peered down at her with his black eyes glowing ominously.

"If I had filled your belly with another child…...then even Professor Gilderoy Lockhart himself wouldn't be able to ignore the evidence of your union with Professor Snape." Severus whispered against her lips.

Lily gasped as Seveus possessively grabbed her thighs to squeeze their suppleness in his skilled hands.

She gripped the sheets and gnashed her teeth as Severus once again claimed her for his own.

The contraceptive potion had been long forgotten.

Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Snape seemed too concerned about another pregnancy, they were both far too absorbed in the fantasy that enraptured most mated couples.

Severus watched in fascination as he dreamed about watching Lily's belly swell right in front of him while she sweetly sang her pleasure as they made love.

Lily's thoughts were nearly the same, although in her mind, it was the pleased look that would appear on Severus's face at the sight that excited her most……

As soon as the second years had learned about Polyjuice Potion, Draco had taken it upon himself to become an expert on the matter.

He must have tried over a dozen times, but finally, and secretly, he had a perfectly brewed batch hidden and waiting for use in a forgotten boys' lavatory at the top of the castle, close to the storage rooms.

Draco imagined that the concoction could come in handy.

Every day, as he watched Tom Riddle chat with Harriet, distract Harriet, and pull smile after disgustingly happy smile from her face, he waited for the right opportunity to present itself.

Finally, one afternoon, while Hermione and Ron walked out of the courtyard, Draco sat by the Slytherins, a conveniently short distance away from where Harriet and her friends had been stationed.

He watched his darling trail behind Ron and Hermione until he felt his face twist into a scowl as Tom hurriedly stood up and called out, "Harriet!"

Draco quickly stared at his book as she whirled around to answer, although he listened carefully to the conversation that followed.

"Tom!" Harriet called with a fond smile as she discovered who had spoken to her, "Did you finish the Transfiguration homework?"

"Oh yes." Tom nodded, "It was quite simple, it took me a quarter of an hour only."

Harriet's face fell in disappointment as she laughed, "Wow! I wish it was that easy for me! I can't get past question five."

Both Slytherin boys in her presence seized their moment.

"Well, I'd be happy to help." Tom kindly offered as he flashed a chivalrous smile at Harriet, the perfect picture of a young gentleman.

"...I don't want to trouble you." Harriet replied with a nervous laugh.

"It's no trouble at all." Tom said with a warm seriousness in his tone, "Really, meet me back here before dinner, it'll be quiet then and we can think. I'd be glad to give you a bit of guidance."

Harriet looked down at her feet for a brief second before she gathered her courage and met the intensity of Tom's dreamy gaze with her own eyes, "...Thanks."

"Of course." Tom nodded with a handsome smile.

Draco watched the way that Tom Riddle kept his eyes on Harriet until she disappeared from sight.

After he finished watching his rival interact with his love, Draco wore a smirk instead of a frown.

For once, he had a plan that was much better than yearning communications written in the pages of an old diary.

—————————————————————

Harriet understood that the courtyard was usually deserted before dinner.

So did her two best friends and as they all sat in the Gryffindor common room moments before Harriet was scheduled to go and meet Tom for their study session, Ron stared at her with wide eyes.

Hermione's face had narrowed into a concerned scowl.

"Harriet……" Hermione began as she spoke with wisdom beyond her years, "You and Tom…..you two will probably be alone…..in the courtyard, you know."

"I trust him." Harriet said with a smile as she checked to make sure that her homework was safely in her bag.

"I don't!" Ron said with a mirthless laugh, "No one invites a girl to study alone if they have studying on their mind. He's going to try and snog you!"

"He is not!" Harriet snapped as she looked up at Ron with a frown on her face and her cheeks bright red at his obscene suggestion.

"...He may." Hermione shrugged warily, "Just be careful, Harriet, would you like for me and Ron to stay nearby in case something goes wrong?"

"No." Harriet frowned, "What do you two think I am, pathetic? Tom would never hurt anyone….Besides, I can take care of myself if there's any need."

Ron and Hermione blinked.

"...Thanks anyway." Harriet huffed as she stood from her seat on the common room sofa and stomped out of Gryffindor tower.

Hermione and Ron exchanged a look.

They let several seconds pass before they both stood and silently, stealthily followed behind their friend.

Across the castle, in the Slytherin dormitories, Tom also prepared himself to meet Harriet for their study date.

He had just straightened his striped, green tie when he heard footsteps behind him.

Tom stood by his bed as he turned around to greet whoever had come.

His dark eyes narrowed when he saw that Draco had appeared with his wand raised threateningly towards him.

"...Malfoy?" Tom asked questioningly.

"STUPEFY!" Draco shouted without warning.

He flinched as Tom was violently knocked backwards onto the bed, dazed and stunned.

Draco rushed over, hurriedly pulled two hairs from his rival's head and raced out of the door.

He could barely make it to the boys' lavatory fast enough.

After Draco barged into the abandoned bathroom, his hands trembled as he added Tom's hairs to the Polyjuice Potion and hurriedly swallowed it down.

The urge to vomit threatened to overwhelm him as he leaned over the porcelain sink.

One second passed.

Two, three…...

After Draco resisted his body's instinct to retch, he watched the skin on his hands begin to crawl.

Sensations of pulling and twisting slowly took over.

With a gasp, it was done.

As Draco lifted his head to look into the bathroom mirror, he found not himself staring back from the glass, but Harriet's precious Tom Riddle…….
