Harriet gasped for breath as Severus gazed down at her and narrowed his dark eyes.
"W-Whats wrong?" Harriet asked as she widened her knees until her hips hurt.
She was naked and open and wet…….what more did he want?
What was he waiting for?
What did she have to do to-
"I'm going to mate you, Harriet Potter." Severus growled in a husky drawl.
Harriet's heart skipped a beat as her full name rolled decadently off of Severus's tongue.
She didn't remember the last time that he had called her Harriet…….if he ever had at all.
"I'm going to claim you as mine forever….. I'll fill you so full that you won't be able to walk…..Would you like that, Mother Hen?" Severus slowly asked.
Harriet laid her head back against the pillows and exposed her creamy throat to Severus while she whimpered in approval and waited.
Harriet hoped for the sharpness of his bite, for the softness of his touch, for anything, really, anything but more words.
"You really are arrogant, aren't you, Potter?" Severus asked in his low, velvet voice.
Harriet opened her emerald eyes and looked up at him with a pleading frown.
"How can you expect me to claim you when you're lying there so improperly dressed for the occasion?" Severus asked.
As he crouched over her, his trousers were so tight from his own arousal that his manhood ached, but Severus held his resolve, even under the crippling pressure of Harriet's pheromones that commanded him to abandon his resistance and dive into her.
While Harriet scowled at him in confusion, Severus reached inside the pocket of his robes and withdrew the Prince family ring that he had kept hidden until the right moment arrived.
Severus had envisioned more impressive plans, filled with romantic settings and sentimental gestures, at least something a bit more poetic, but Harriet's heat took precedence.
Father Raven couldn't dream of anything more intimate than taking Mother Hen as his after she agreed to be his bride.
Harriet drew in a breath as Severus held the ring in front of her and explained, "This is the Prince family ring…. It's been handed down for generations as a physical symbol of true and unbroken love. Emeralds for fidelity, amethyst for trust, and a diamond for devotion...This ring has waited decades for its next owner. It seems that time has come at last……"
With an incredulous frown, Harriet glanced from the ring up to Severus's face.
Her heart fluttered as he moved away.
Although her aching center flared and her sore muscles smarted, Harriet reluctantly sat up in bed and gazed at Severus while he knelt down on the floor and held the ring out to her.
"Harriet…Potter…….Mother Hen," Severus asked in a low, seductive purr that sent shivers of anticipation down her spine, "I'm asking you today with complete sincerity….will you become...my wife?"
Harriet violently nodded her head as she extended her hand out to her lover and gasped, "Yes! Yes, Father Raven…..Severus Snape, I'll be your wife!"
It all happened in an instant.
Severus slipped the antique ring onto Harriet's finger before he pounced on her, vanished his clothes with a nonverbal spell, and slipped inside of her as he hovered over his mate in her nest.
He interlaced their fingers as Harriet closed her eyes and moaned at the sensation of being so deliciously full at last.
Severus smirked to himself while he watched the face that she made at the sensation of feeling him sheathed within her at her most vulnerable moment.
Harriet groaned as Severus pushed her hands back and let her knuckles press into the soft layers of her nest as he rolled his hips over hers.
He bent down and placed wet, nipping kisses across her throat and collarbone as he took her agonizingly slowly.
When his careful motions caused him to brush against something wonderful, deep in the cavern of her womanhood, a harsh cry erupted from Harriet's lips and Severus chose that moment to claim her as his.
In one surprisingly rough bite, he clamped down on Harriet's neck and elicited a scream of pleasurable pain from the omega underneath him.
Severus sympathetically lapped at the bite with his tongue while he let go of one of Harriet's hands.
He slyly snaked his palm in between them to roll her sensitive rosebud between his fingertips in an attempt to ease her suffering.
The first time that Harriet crested and writhed in his arms with a long, deep moan thrilled Severus.
Harriet's second and third climaxes sent him soaring over the peak of pleasure with her as he spilled himself deep within her.
There had been no contraceptive charm cast, no precautionary potion drank, but that only seemed to excite them both further as they stared into each other's eyes while they each panted for breath.
Severus bent down and crushed his lips against Harriet's in a loving kiss as he reluctantly slipped from her.
When he pulled back, Harriet laid a hand over her flat belly and stared at Severus with wide eyes as she wondered if her hungry womb was already accepting his next daughter or son.
"I-I could be with child again." Harriet stammered as she gazed up at Severus.
Harriet enjoyed the glint of pride that she distinctly saw flash in Severus's dark eyes before he bent down and began to cover her flat belly in gentle, tender kisses.
Harriet sighed happily as her fingers tangled in his raven-black hair while he lavished her in tender affection.
When his hooked nose bumped against the round underside of her swollen, heavy breast, the gentle cry that left Harriet made Severus lick his lips in anticipation.
As his mouth latched onto a hardened nipple, Harriet's legs wrapped around his waist.
Severus moved between her knees as his manhood obediently rose to answer his mate's silent, needful plea…….
—————————————————————
Heats consumed vast amounts of an omega's energy.
After Severus made love to Harriet once more, she nursed Lily, ate the massive lunch that he prepared for her, and then fell into a deep, restorative sleep.
Downstairs in the living room, Severus cradled little Lily in his arms while he quickly wrote a letter.
Professor McGonagall,
My sincerest apologies but I find myself unable to return to the castle for the next seven days. In my absence, I am humbly asking you to temporarily oversee the few matters that I've left on my desk. Should any specific calamity arise that cannot wait, please owl me at this address.
Sincerely,
Professor Severus Snape, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Severus had barely finished signing his name when he heard movement echo from the bedroom that he shared with Harriet.
He glanced down at baby Lily who blinked back at her father curiously.
Severus clutched his little daughter safely in his arms as he folded up his letter, addressed the envelope, and then sent it off to Hogwarts in the talons of an owl.
"I think your Mummy's already awake." Severus cooed to his daughter.
Lily put her little hand into her mouth as a needy whimper sounded from Harriet's room.
Severus patted Lily's tiny back as he glided up the stairs with his precious darling nestled in his arms.
—————————————————————
Father Raven's suspicions were correct, although he was shocked at what he saw when he and fledgling entered the bedroom.
Mother Hen was indeed awake as she sat in her nest with an arm under her sore breasts and her legs widened to invite Severus.
"Where were you?!" Harriet snapped irritably at her alpha.
Lily laid a hand on Severus's chest as he answered his mate, "I was writing a letter to explain my absence while you rested. Lily watched me the entire time….If you don't believe me, ask her." He explained with a sarcastic smirk before he added, "In case you haven't forgotten, we still have our daughter in our care."
Harriet's anger seemed to dissipate as her emerald gaze drifted over to her little one.
In spite of the pounding waves of arousal that ricocheted through her, primal instinct took over when she saw her pup, and she reached her arms out towards Severus before she thought.
Severus walked over and handed Lily back to her mother.
"Sorry, I just…...I had to hold her." Harriet admitted with a sigh as she watched Lily wriggle in her grasp.
Cuddled against her mother's exposed breasts, Lily placed a tiny hand on one of Harriet's swells and gladly latched on, much to Harriet's dismay.
Severus furrowed his brow when he saw Harriet start to pull away from their baby while she cried, "N-No! Not now!" Her eyes were wild as she looked up at Severus and gasped, "I-I need you again! I-I need to please you!"
Lily whined as Harriet thrashed around.
Severus swept over in one, swirling rush and stilled his mate as he placed one hand on her thigh and one hand on her shoulder while he whispered soothingly, "Relax…….relax, that's better…….calm down and let her nurse. Nothing you'll ever do will please me as much as watching you care for Lily. You're a mother first and a mate second. Her belly will be full and she'll be asleep in a few moments, you know that."
Harriet's chest heaved as she struggled for breath while she gazed into Severus's dark eyes.
In the throes of her heat, it was a cruel torture to be that close to Severus, to inhale his scent and feel his touch, but be deprived of…….
Father Raven's heart broke at the desperation that he saw in Mother Hen's unsettled, green eyes as she looked at him longingly with fledgling at her breast.
To temporarily appease her, Severus crawled into Harriet's nest and kissed her lips gently as he settled himself behind her.
"Sev….." Harriet begged him as she whispered softly.
"A moment longer…..my love…." Severus whispered back as his slender fingers deftly ghosted over Lily's little tufts of red hair, "A moment longer……"
Father Raven was as anxious as Mother Hen to continue their loving, although Harriet endured a more brutal, direct influence from her hormones which her alpha managed to escape.
After Lily had been fed, changed, and laid in her cot for a comfortable nap, Severus would not hesitate to claim Harriet again~.
—————————————————————
The week of Harriet's heat proved to be wonderfully exhausting for Mother Hen and Father Raven.
Fledgling remained blissfully unaware of her parents' escapades since she had been cared for as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
By the end of that week, Mother Hen had been covered in the purple and red marks that proved just how thoroughly her new mate had satisfied her.
She enjoyed the stinging ache that Severus's tongue and teeth had left on her skin, that, along with her nipples that he had sucked red, gave her a deep sense of contentment.
Harriet Potter belonged to Severus Snape unquestionably.
Severus had never taken a mate before, but his lover had taught him that servicing an omega through a cycle was more work than he realized.
However, he found that supporting Harriet through her heat was a genuinely rewarding task, much like looking after Lily.
Father Raven had become more fatigued than Mother Hen by the last day of her heat.
When Severus finally woke up later that morning, the bedroom door creaked open, and Harriet padded into their room with a tray full of breakfast.
Severus sat up as she walked over and placed the tray down on the bedside table.
"I'm the alpha." Severus said flatly, "I'm supposed to be tending you."
"You have tended me." Harriet replied with a shrug as she slipped off her night robe and padded over to join him in her nest, "I'm the omega, I'm supposed to nurture you. I think that qualifies you to receive a meal of gratitude from your new mate."
Severus stared at Harriet as he began to drink the tea that she had brewed for him.
He took a bite of the warm waffles on the tray and tasted the biscuits that sat on a seperate plate, so fresh from the oven that they were still piping hot.
Severus's dark gaze drifted down to Harriet's belly while he ate.
He had emptied himself inside of her too many times to count during her heat and it was almost as if that alone had caused the slightest hint of a swell below her navel.
Father Raven felt his feathers bristle with pride as he wondered how long it would be until Mother Hen hatched another one of their fledglings in her nest…….
