"I already agreed." He glanced at me.
""You might have agreed but I didn't give you all the information you'll need. Taking on the era is more than just the title Severus.""
"Clam child all is well. It will take longer than you think." Harry looked up at Salazar, that seemed to relive him.
"What happened?" I asked both of them. Harry brushed his hair behind his ear.
""Lulu, Nev and I took control of the school. I might hold both of their blood lines, I'm only able to take on one placement. Since we hold I bond I was able to be a funnel."" I nodded.
"Should I ask what bought this on?" I raised my eye brow and he glared at me.
""What do you mean by that?"" I just looked at him waiting. ""Severus."" He said getting upset.
"Very emotional lot." Salazar shook his head. Harry glared at him. "Don't give me that look little one you're the one uncloaked." Harry blinked a few times. "I to would like to know what bought this on Ray, I don't believe they chose was made yet."
""Children should not be made to make up their parents mistakes. They should not be condoned for their parents doings. For adults to allow this."" I could see marking on his neck show up. I glanced at Salazar. He looked worried.
"Grandfather." He called watching
""It's unspeakable. Their children for fuck sake. It's like walking pigs to a slater. Children are a blessing from magic. They should be protected not sent off to war. Sent off in their parents place. I knew the control was mess up but this, this."
"Harold." Ignotus said in a commanding voice. Harry wiped around and glared at the painting. The marking bleed to most his face and hands. "I believe it's time to calm down Ray. There is a solution to every problem. One just has to think of what the right solution would be."
""Do not speak to me of solutions. I don't want solutions.""
"Ray." Harry closed his mouth and folded his arms. "What's the problem?" He asked everyone. Harry waved Salazar to explain. Salazar leaned to the side and said something to Ignotus softly. He nodded.
"What are your thoughts?" Ray glared at him. His eyes were black now. Then he took a deep breath.
""Kill them all."" I blinked at him. Ignotus just raised his eye brow. ""I really do like that idea. It would solve the problem. Protection would be my next chose.""
"Protection." Salazar said. Ignotus nodded.
"On what type of skill." He asked Harry. Slowly Harry's mark was pulling back.
""My concern at this time is the kit. Beyond that nothing matters. Thought if that wasn't a concern I would start with the children at risk and move on from there. Safe haven on the full skill. I could use the school. Though it might not be big enough or really the safest place. Riddle has always wanted the school more than everything else. This was his first home and if he controls the school he controls the next generation. The wards are very weak. That could be fixed, but it will take high level casters. I could open the manor. It has the space and it is far more protected."" He said looking at the painting. Ignotus nodded and tapped his finger on the arm rest.
"How would you explain this?" Harry brushed his hair behind his ears.
""Truthfully I wouldn't like to explain. I don't wish to share. They don't need to know. I would seal have the manor before hand. Put others in charge.""
"I will give you my answer later. Work on the first two problems first little one. They will need the action now. I believe it's time for Harry to return?" He got up and walked out of the painting. I looked at Harry and saw he was debating. Then made a sign in front of himself.
""I'm very sorry."" Harry said softly. I raised my eye brow. He smiled softly and nodded. ""Why is Lucuis glaring at Salazar?"" He asked. Salazar waved his hand.
""He is very unbecoming. A pity to his family."" Salazar said. Harry rolled his eyes.
""You think everyone is unbecoming. Salazar you like maybe one person from your house out of thousands."" He said. Salazar waved his hand again.
""You asked, I answered you. He doesn't approve of my opinion of himself. I don't see why I should care when he's kissing my baseters robes. It's shameful.""
""You should have controlled your children better."" Harry told him back.
"I do not claim him." Harry rolled his eyes. "Look at them little one. Clearly I'm right."
""Be nice. Oh Severus wants to know how he would know if magic gave him the gift?"" Harry asked him.
"If that wasn't a subject changer. After the time limits you'll be able to tell." I thought about it and could see that. Harry tipped his head thinking.
""Nothing more? How would you tell if you were given the magic?"" Harry asked.
"Don't bother me with the ifs. When this shows up I'll deal with it. Are you finished with me. I do have other things to concern myself with?" Harry rubbed his eyes.
""Mental picture. Siri wants the shack."" I rolled my eyes.
""That is now your concern. Good night little one. Bring the kit around sometime. Severus."" He nodded to me, got up and walked out. ""Return my frame."" He called back.
""Will you tell Lucuis Salazar doesn't like anyone."" Harry asked me. I glanced at Lucuis and saw him fingering a wine glass. He was looking at Harry, I didn't much like the look.
"Luc?" He looked at me.
"The odds of an Elf turning dark in very low. I was lead to believe there was only one a generation and they were all part of the role blood?" Lucuis said. Harry nodded to him. "Yet here you are." I smiled when Harry gave Draco his plate.
""My blood predates the court as it is now."" Harry said, I let out a breath.
"Which Harry is." Lucuis looked at me. He raised his eye brow. I followed his lead. If he wanted to know something he would have to ask.
"Where did that skill come from Seve?" He asked me. He knew me well enough.
"Salazar created a potions to give someone the ability for a short time frame." I watched his eyes light up. "Which I don't have." They dimmed.
""Severus, the chose is yours. I have enough for now. I can make more."" Harry told me. I held Lucuis eyes waiting for him to ask.
"What's your price?" He asked me. I smirked and waved to Harry.
"All you have to do is ask." Lucuis dropped his mask. "I asked you to join me Luc so we can talk." He fingered his glass again.
"Explain what happened if you would Harry." He said. Harry looked at me. He didn't know what Lucuis wanted.
"When you left." He made a face. Then looked at me. I nodded to him and would translate.
"Throw your bond with Severus, Narcissi and Draco are pulled along. Elf's are mostly a imprinting race. This in turn will imprints onto me. It's becoming an issues with me. Elf's are also an emotional race. We tend to be ruled on our emotions. I left to become full era to Godrick." I said for Harry.
"Just Godrick?" Lucuis asked. Harry nodded.
"Yes I am both Salazar and Godrick's era. But I am unable to take on both title of era. Each era hasn't to be hold by its own body." I said for Harry. "While he holds both throw blood, Family laws won't allow him to hold both. Only a mated member of the family can hold both, the second is held by the bond mate. By magic I am the era to Salazar." I explained. Lucuis looked at me and his eyes glowed.
"What became a problem Harry?" Cissi asked.
"Since we bonded Harry's been getting an eco of Draco, until today he hasn't understood why. He thinks and feels for Draco as his kit." Draco made a face. "Child." I added. He sat up and looked right at Harry.
"I can control the pull better then my elf can. I do understand boundaries." I translated.
"I wasn't aware elf's have two beings." Cissi said looking at Harry worried.
"While I might have a high blood line I am still half blood. If I wasn't a dark elf it wouldn't be much of a spilt. We aren't fully two different people. Just one race is in the driver seat at a time. A dark elf is never the same as the born person. The queen is a wood elf, her first life was an elf, but not of nature. My first life wasn't an elf. That's what gives me a larger spilt. With myself either the human nature is in control or the elf's. Though I am always an elf. It's calmpaticed." Harry tried to explain.
"I'm following you, I just wasn't aware an elf still have human nature." She told him. "Most half bloods are the same Harry." He nodded to her. "What is bothering you with Draco?"
"Riddle is using him as a replacement for Lucuis. It's against my nature to allow him to be in danger. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if I didn't have a link with Riddle. Which means I will be watching the marking. That will bring the elf out and we will kill everyone who stands in the way." Cissi looked his face over.
"I hardly believe you will make it throw the door." Lucuis said. Harry leaned back and smirked.
"It's not wise to underestimate me Lucuis. I could have Riddle over my knee before he could pull his wand. While children should be protected, they should be punished for being naughty. Severus might be the holder of the Era of Slytherin, but I am the head of the Syltherin family. My blood is purer then his." I translated.
"You're a child yourself."
"Lucuis I haven't came of age yet." Lucuis blinked. "I came into my inhairadence before I was 13. Within 24 hours I came into my second life. You are born a elf, you don't become a black elf till you are an adult. Yet I came into both years early. I have everything I know from my elf blood, everything I've learned from my first life and then what I've learned till now. While I might be a child in many eye's I haven't been in the eyes of magic since I was 14. Do not test me. I am giving you much more benefited then you would believe."
"Why?" Cissi asked. Harry tipped his head. "Benefit, why are you."
"Because Luc is my mate." I looked at Harry as he answered her and was surprised. I looked at Lucuis. "Because he tried to kill Harry." He knew Lucuis wasn't at the minter so there had to be a different time. Cissi was even surprised and looked at Luc.
"Lucuis?" She said when he didn't, wouldn't answer. I looked at Harry.
""Truthfully Severus, trickery is in the blood. I don't condom what my father, what they did to you. But we really are twisters'. Adding Salazar just made it a little worse." I nodded to him. "Lucuis gave Ginny Wesley Tom Riddle's dairy that held a part of Riddle in it. He's also the reason Hargid was sent to Azkaban. So I thought it would be smart to give the dairy back to him. Like I thought he gave it to his elf. I just happen to have put some clothes it in. Call it justified pay back. He wasn't too pleased with me."" I pinched my nose.
""By chance do you think you had it coming?"" I asked him.
""That's beside the point. He doesn't like me.""
""Are you always so emotional."" When he didn't answer me I opened my eyes and saw his chair was empty.
"It seems you upset him Severus." I let out a breath. Then I caught something he said. I looked at the painting.
"Taz." I said. He walked into the painting a few minutes later pulling on his robes.
"I was called to be a guardian not." He looked around. "What do you need Severus?" He asked me.
""How did your grandfather punish the twins?"" He blinked and looked at me.
""What are you asking."" He said.
""When they were bad, how did he punish them."" He looked at me like I was out of my mind.
""Unless times have changed like a normal parent. Take them over his knee."" I smirked and nodded.
"Thank you."
"I'm busy." He walked back out.
"How is it I now have 3 fathers, how is this far." Draco asked everyone.
"Don't get worked up Dragon, now answer my question. What do you want." I asked. He folded his arms.
"I do not follow the Dark Lord." He said, I nodded. "I don't see why this matters."
"How many of your class mates are the same." I asked. He looked my face over. I raised my eye brow.
"Most."
"We'll come for brunch tomorrow Severus. I believe Draco is staying." I nodded. "Then tomorrow dragon." Cissi kissed Draco's head and walked out. I looked at Lucuis. He was troubled over something.
"Luc?" I watched Draco get up and slip out. "Luc." I said again and took his hand off his glass and rubbed my thumb over the back. He looked at it than me. "Brunch? Or would you like to stay?" He shook his head.
"I have some paperwork to finish. I don't like the idea of Cissi staying at the manor alone. Yes tomorrow."
"He is his own man Luc." He shook his head again.
"I already know he doesn't follow the dark lord. I've been worried about my own choices also." I looked at him. "You've never truthfully been mind Severus." He started getting up, I held his hand and followed him. I turned him to face me.
"You are concerned over nothing Lucuis. I am and have always been yours. Dose the thought of sharing bother you so much?" He looked away from me.
"What Severus do I have to offer you?" I pulled him closer.
"Why do you think I would want something now when I never have. We accepted our fate, why do you wish to fight it now." He slipped his arm around me. "Fate has never lead us down the wrong path yet. I don't see why she would now. I might be bonded to Harry, that does not change I am mated to you. If you accept this, I will be bonded to you also. You and Harry never have to accept each other. But I expect you both to be able to be around each other."
"I wouldn't be against eggs." He looked at me. I cupped his neck and kissed him.
"You never are. Think before you make your chose." He nodded and pulled back.
"Bruch." I nodded and he walked away. "Take care of our dragon." He said back to me. I waved my wand and the kitchen cleaned itself up. I walked out once it was done and saw Draco in his slick sleeping pants watching Harry's hallway.
"Draco?" He looked back at me.
"I think he's yelling at someone." I walked over to him and could hear Harry hissing to someone. I couldn't make out what was being said though. "What do you think upset him?" He asked me.
"As you should know neither of us have the best understanding of the other. It will take time to work past the past. Chess?" He looked down the hall.
"It might work the same as it does with Father Seve. Maybe you should go talk to him." I lead us to the chess board.
"The hall is warded. Our bonding didn't start off on the best stance either." He nodded and sat down. "Though I'm sure he got upset when I called him emotional."
"Aren't elf's?" He asked me. I nodded to him.
"Though it isn't the first time I've called him emotional. When I have in the past I was very harsh on him. It will take both of us time to get over the past." He nodded and looked down the hall.
"So Potter's an elf?" I nodded to him. "And your mate." I nodded again. "And he thinks of me as his child." I nodded. "I guess that's better than being his friend. I don't know how I feel about a father younger than me." I shook my head.
"At less you don't have his hair." He laughed and nodded.
"Who do you think he's yelling at?" He asked me.
"It could be a number of people or no one. You should already know he has a temper." He nodded. We played a game and I sent him off to bed. I grabbed a glass of whiskey and walked down Harry's hall. I was surprised his wards let me. I opened his study door and leaned against the door frame. He was sitting at his desk going throw some paperwork.
"You dropped your wards." I said after a few minutes. He shook his head no.
""They are still there. I haven't reformed then since Kearter changed them." I took a drink. Then pushed off the wall and sat down on the couch.
"What are you working on?" I asked him.
""Going throw some paperwork I received today.""
"I thought I asked you to stop blocking my side of the bond." He glared at me.
"I'm working on it. Rushing wouldn't be wise. I don't understand how it's any of your concern." I let out a breath. He folded his arms and leaned back.
"I wasn't aware there were risks." He let out a breath and brushed his hair back.
""There could be a back splash, though the bond grows slowly. I'm releasing it the same way. It's not normally smart to do. I didn't mean to snap.""
"I understand. You took what I said out of context though Harry. I'm not use to someone with so many emotions. We both will need time to get over the past and get to know each other." He nodded. "Come it's late." I said and stood. He shook his head. "Harry."
"I don't sleep at night if I can help it." I looked his face over. He looked away from me.
"I will not push us. But I would like to keep you close. Please, I'll watch over you." He looked back at me. "You aren't the only person with a problem sleeping." He looked my face over.
"You want me to join you?" He wasn't upset but something was bothering him. I nodded.
"Please." He got up and nodded. I walked him into his room and he changed into sweats and a sweatshirt. Then let me guild him to my room. I changed into my pants and walked out of the bathroom. He lost his glamour. I got us into bed and pulled him to me.
