Chapter 28. Part A. The Wedding
……………………………………………………………………………………
Right after Severus and Harry leave for their Bonding Time…
The Prince sat with an owl in hand. He couldn't help but be impressed with his son. Part of him was glad that Severus had changed the blade and part of him was furious.
Alessander wondered if that's why Severus had decided to carry the couple's first born. A pregnant Severus would be immune to any harm if the Clan called for retribution. They had been fooled. His son had come up on top, no pun intended. No Vampire would dare touch Harry's pregnant spouse especially when everything could be lost.
Harry was powerful and although he was too young to understand the kind of love that now tied Severus to him he would never forgive anyone if his mate were harmed. His son had played his cards well. A child was a fact in their bond…the pull was too strong for them to be able to resist each other, contraception for Wizards was inexistent, and Harry was in constant danger of attack and needed to train physically and mentally. If the youth were to get pregnant it would be catastrophic. Severus' pregnancy would not only protect Harry and the child but him too.
Folding the parchment he threw it in the fire. He smelled blood and saw Draco standing at the doorway. "You needed something young Mr. Malfoy?"
"I don't wish to interrupt."
"Too late young sir." The Prince rested his head back on the sofa. He could smell the blood on the boy. He could almost taste it
"My apologies, I'll come later."
"Now Mr. Malfoy, I have engagements later on." The Prince announced, his hands resting on the arm rests nonchalantly, the gesture or lack there of reminded Draco of his father.
Draco wasn't sure if this had been such a good idea. The Prince made him nervous. It was like being with his Godfather except that this felt ten times worse.
"Now. Mr. Malfoy." The Vampire closed his eyes feigning sleep.
"I wanted to see if I could go along to Grimmauld Place?"
"I was invited Mr. Malfoy. I can not take additional company."
"I just thought that since you were Lord Black's Sire he'd listen to you and since …"
The Prince had opened his eyes and was looking straight at the boy, "…and since I am your Godfather's father I'd intercede with Sirius?"
Draco nodded nervously. He wanted to see his mother. He didn't know why but he had to. There was an uneasiness inside him that wouldn't leave him alone and he knew it had to do with her.
"Doesn't work that way Mr. Malfoy or have you forgotten your disrespect towards my son and his bonded, not to mention the other guests."
"No I haven't." Draco whispered trying to keep calm.
"You are young so your stupidity might be understood but it will not be tolerated. You will be in my care while my son and my son in law are gone, thread lightly or you will regret it."
"Yes sir."
"Yes Prince Alessander." The Vampire corrected.
"My apologies Prince." Draco bowed and left. His mind was blank but tears rolled down his face, he knew his mother needed him but there was nothing he could. If he tried to sneak away he would be punished and this time it would be the Prince holding the whip. When he got to his room a house elf waited for him with the potions for his back.
…………….
An hour later….
Alessander was staring at the fire when Sirius walked in whistling softly. Everything was going according to plan. The only thing left was to get Remus to sign the marriage contract, Narcissa to agree, and Moony to cooperate, only the last part made him nervous. The more Sirius thought about it the more convinced he was that Remus and Narcissa deserved each other.
"So what's new?" Sirius asked resting his feet on the antique table.
"I got a letter from the King and Queen. Severus changed the blades used for the loyalty oath."
"He did! Well I'll be a muggle's uncle! And?"
"And they want another oath that will prove more binding."
"He won't do it. He's as stubborn as I am. So what do y-, we do about it?"
Sirius asked cocking his head to one side.
"We do nothing Precious. Severus has already taken care of the situation."
"He has? How?"
"I can't say just yet but you'll know when they return."
"Why the secrecy?"
"Because it's that important. I will write to our Sovereigns and explain what is happening they will understand."
"They don't seem the understanding type Alessander."
"They aren't but …" Alessander trailed off thoughtfully. He was going to be a grandfather… his family name was safe. Merlin! Severus could be turned sooner than planned!
"What are you thinking about?" Sirius did not like the calculating look on the Prince it reminded him of unpleasant times.
"I'm thinking about the future my love." The Prince smiled reaching for Sirius, this called for a celebration!…Sirius felt the Prince invade his mouth and had half a mind to resist but the truth was that he didn't want to. He'd come to appreciate the Prince's attention, the Vampire knew exactly what to do and when to do it.
The Prince slipped his hand underneath Sirius's shirt and began massaging the younger man's chest as he pushed him onto the floor once there his hand slid down. Sirius gasped as the hand reached inside and grabbed him, pulling and rubbing at the same time.
"I'll never tire of you dearest." Alessander mumbled pulling on Sirius's and his own clothes until they were both naked. The Prince licked his lips as his eyes traveled over the body of his child. Their eyes met and Sirius braced himself as his Sire bit and entered him with one thrust. Alessander was never gentle; the bastard did not know the meaning of the word when it came to love making but Sirius was not the average Wizard or Vampire. He relished the pain …he wouldn't have changed places for all the gold in the World.
The Prince felt the tightness as he thrust deeper and harder each time. He bent down and licked Sirius neck and bit down again as he pushed and drank, his hands roaming his child's body possessively. Sirius moaned and pulled Alessander closer, the older Vampire closed his eyes, his mate's tightness hurt and pleasured him at the same time…
……………………………….
Meanwhile in another part of the castle…
Remus sat with the items before him. He escaped a look at the grandfather clock. He still had a couple of hours before dinner. He opened up several books he had gotten from the Library and began reading and taking notes. The clock ticked the minutes by and Remus continued scribbling opening and closing this and that book. He cast different spells on the items, sometimes nothing happened and sometimes the items moved rearranging themselves. He was surprised at the intricacy of the spells and the different kinds of magic used; it was like it had been weaved together! He frowned … weaved? He was on to something but he couldn't figure it out. What was it?
Hours later a shout interrupted his concentration. "Moony you in there!" came a loud voice from the hallway.
"Yes."
"Hurry up! You've got ten minutes."
"Ok I'm coming!" Remus spelled the items to remain as they were and got up reluctantly. He was onto something! He knew it. He just needed more time.
……………………………..
Remus met up with the Prince and Severus oblivious to the knowing looks between the two.
"Well I'm ready?" Remus said pulling his tie uncomfortably. He hated the things they reminded him of dog collars.
"Great! Hey wait a minute what about the Malfoy kid?" Sirius asked.
"He's in his room. Lord Gribaldi returned several minutes ago and will keep an eye on him." the Prince answered.
"Good then we're all set."….
………………………
Minutes Later….
Remus walked up the steps behind Sirius and Alessander wishing he hadn't come. Lady Malfoy would be there and the woman made him nervous. She was a pureblood in the strictest sense and as such had little regard for penniless werewolves. Oh well it would only be tonight, he thought
Narcissa stood up when she heard the ward announced Sirius's arrival. Her Lord had sent an owl telling her to expect three for dinner; she had made the arrangements wondering who Sirius would be entertaining. The Minister came to mind but with Sirius who really knew.
…………….
They entered the hall and saw her coming to meet them. Sirius was unaffected by her beauty to him she would always be the snobby brat with the psychotic sister; Alessander admired beauty and poise and thought that she would make a beautiful vampire but alas she was off limits! Remus was stunned, she was beautiful, she was perfection…she was …looking at him like dirt.
"My Lord Black welcome back to Grimmauld Place." Narcissa greeted her Lord with a small bow to cover her shock. Part of her was surprised and part of her wasn't… Sirius had brought a Vampire and a Werewolf to dine.
"Thank you Narcissa been busy, haven't you?" Sirius looked around the house, it still needed al lot of work but it was looking so much better. Narcissa would make his friend a good wife.
"Thank you M'Lord."
"Good! Good! You know Prince Alessander?" Sirius began the introductions off handedly as he walked around the small foyer admiring the elegant sparseness. Yes she'd make a great wife!
"Lady Malfoy." The Prince kissed her hand.
"Prince." She curtisied.
"…and my best friend Remus Lupin." Sirius finished slapping Remus on the back. Remus was caught off guard and was knocked slightly forward.
Narcissa had never been this close to a werewolf and actually debated on whether to give him her hand. The man had been at her husband's funeral and she had said nothing but…she shook her self and extended her hand neutrally this was not her home, if her cousin was sincere she would be married soon and there would be no need for her to associate with Mr. Lupin ever again, she could afford to be tolerant tonight.
"Lady Malfoy-" The Prince began but was cut off.
"Black. Prince Alessander. Her name isn't Malfoy anymore, it's Black."
The Prince nodded in understanding while Remus bore his eyes into his friend. Really was Siri that unfeeling? The woman had obviously loved her husband.
"Well let's eat I'm sure Remus and Narcissa are starving." Remus looked at the Aristocratic pureblood and somehow could not imagine her on the verge of starvation.
…………………………..
Sirius pulled the chair and sat down. Narcissa in shocked surprise didn't say anything but allowed Remus to pull a chair out for her. The Prince rolled his eyes and hoped his child would not over do it.
The first course was brought along with some wine, The Prince and Sirius abstained from the food and apparated glasses of warm blood. Narcissa tried not to gag from the smell and to her surprise found herself making polite conversation with Mr. Lupin as she had decided to address him.
Remus tried his best to keep the conversation going as Sirius ignored Narcissa and began talking to the Prince. He knew the woman was only playing the part of a gracious hostess but he didn't care. Lady Malfoy was not only beautiful but intelligent what he wouldn't give… but that would never happen. Everyone had their place in this world and he knew his, he thought sadly sipping his wine…
Remus nodded slowly to something Narcissa was saying about Egyptian Hieroglyphics and took another sip of his wine. It was cherry and peach his favorite. He took another slow sip. The Prince and Sirius watched him closely while they chatted about the house's history.
……………………………….
Hours later the deed was done and Remus was as drunk as an Irish Wizard. By the time Remus had realized what was happening he was too dazed to do anything but allow himself to be led to the library where more wine was brought. Narcissa was half pulled to follow by a very polite Prince.
The werewolf was the sentimental type and that was a point Sirius was more than willingly to exploit. Telling him about a horrible fate that awaited Lady Black, Remus protested and offered his help. Sirius quickly apparated a legal looking parchment with signatures and seals and placed it before his friend. The former Lady Malfoy and now soon to be Mrs. Narcissa Lupin sat in utter shock as her Lord held Remus's hand while the wolf signed what could only be a marriage contract.
"You can't do this!" she protested.
"Of course I can. Now be quiet or I'll have the Prince escort you to your chambers where you can wait for your turn to sign." Sirius murmured trying not to startle his friend or the wolf into lucidity. Once the paper had been signed Sirius turned to her.
"Sign."
"You're insane! He's, he's…" Narcissa sputtered in disbelief.
"My best friend." Sirius finished handing the quill over to the Prince who presented it to her in turn. Narcissa was close to tears. How could Sirius do this to her! How could he!
"Do you hate me that much my Lord?" Narcissa asked taking the quill.
"My dear Narcissa this is not about my hate for you but my love for him. Sign the parchment or Draco will suffer for it."
"Severus wouldn't stand for it!" Draco! No not Draco!
"He'll never know."
"How can you…!"
"Enough Madam just sign." The Prince whispered from behind. Narcissa tightened her hand around the quill and signed. Sirius smiled satisfactorily, he was almost done.
Taking a knife to his hand he sliced it open and then did the same to his friend. Remus felt the knife slicing through his palm and tried pulling away but Siri was there telling him it was all right.
"STOP IT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" It was obvious her cousin was performing dark magic and she wanted no part of it. Dark Magic on a werewolfe! Was Sirius insane? Frightened she rose leave but the Prince placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her back down.
She remained still when she saw the blood from Sirius' and the werewolf's hands drip onto the parchment and then into a cup. The cup was quickly covered and place daside.
"STOP IT! I WON' BE PART OF THIS!"
Sirius took Remus hand and murmured a healing spell and quickly began the last part of his plan. He noticed Remus trying to sit up, the Wizard kept shaking his head as if clearing it…Sirius wasted no time and apparated another glass of wine and placed it to his friend's lips.
"Leave him alone!" Narcissa couldn't stand what her Lord was doing. This werewolf was his friend! How could he do this to him?
"Narcissa if you open your mouth again I'll hex you." Sirius whispered pushing the glass to Remus lips and making him drink. The Werewolf could barely hold his head up.
"I Lord Sirius Claudius Black recognize Remus Mikeal Lupin as my brother in blood and second in line to the Black name. Remus Mikeal Lupin do you accept the Black name?"
"Tired…" Remus murmured his head leaning against the head rest.
"Answer the question and you can go to sleep." Sirius whispered.
"Leave him alone." Narcissa had had enough.
Sirius looked up, he had warned her. He did not hex her but hit her instead. She fell to the floor and the Prince quickly pulled her back on to the chair. The witch sat in shock shehad never been in struck in her life. Not even Lucius had ever dared lay a hand on her. Not even him.
"Do not interrupt again." The Prince leaned over and whispered. Narcissa nodded too shocked to say anything.
"Answer the question Remus."
"What question?" Remus asked groggily. He was so sleepy why couldn't Siri understand?
"Do you accept the Black name as your own?"
"Accept what? Whose name?" Remus was confused.
"Mine?" Siri asked whispering softly so as not to startle his friend into alertness.
"You want me to…to accept …th' name?" Remus asked. Sirius was asking him for a favor.
"Nothing would make me happier." Remus nodded and patted Siri's head. It was the least he could do for his friend. "I accept."
"Good now repeat after me."
"Ok." Remus answered trying to sit up.
"Don't sit up lean back you can go to sleep soon enough… I Remus Mikeal Lupin hereby…" Sirius recited.
"I Remus Mikeal Lupin hereby…"
"Accept Sirius Black as my Lord and pledge him my obedience…"
"Accept Sirius Black as my Lord and pledge him my obedience…"
"In all things."
"In all ….things. I'm so sleepy …" Remus murmured.
"Just one more thing, drink this." Sirius uncovered the cup he had filled with their blood and carefully held it in front of Remus. Nodding to the Prince who came around to help he placed the cup before his friend and tipped it towards him. Remus's wolf senses flared and his eyes turned a dangerous gold. Sirius did not move but spoke quietly meeting the werewolf's stare.
"It's alright Moony it's just me."
"What do you want?" Moony growled his voice much deeper than Remus's.
"Got some good news for you."
"I doubt that." the wolf grumbled in disbelief.
"Moony we're friends." Moony eyed him doubtfully and inhaled the smell of blood and took the cup from Sirius. "You're playing a dangerous game bat."
"It's part of a spell to make Lupin my brother."
"Dark magic mutt." The wolf whispered looking from the Prince to Sirius his eyes resting momentarily on a frightened Narcissa, the wolf sniffed, Remus liked this one so he'd leave her alone, Moony thought oblivious to the woman's beauty.
"Lupin and you were the only family I knew for a long time. I want to help him and you."
"How?" the werewolf asked picking up on Sirius's blood in the goblet.
"I'm offering freedom from the clan."
"The clan hates us!" the wolf spat angrily.
"Yeah well I hate them for it. They want you back to mate with the Clan leader's niece."
"Her! She's unworthy! She's a whore! I smelled it on her!"
"Our thoughts exactly. We think you both deserve better."
"Who?"
"My cousin Narcissa. She's a very educated and beautiful Lady." Sirius offered with a wave of his hand.
"What say she?" the wolf asked looking at the woman who had been frightened into silence.
"She's already said yes."
"What?"
"Look it's all signed but I need Remus and you to do one final thing for the plan to work.," Siri offered the parchment and the wolf recognized his host's signature and identified the blood used to seal the contract.
"What do you need?'
"I need you to drink this. It's my and Remus's blood."
"Why?"
"It's part of the spell. The clan can not claim you if you're already pledged to someone else."
"Pledged to you?"
"To me. You'd be my heir."
"Werewolves are creatures of the night. The Wizarding World does not even acknowledge our rights yet they are going to respect your will?"
"They will if you have Narcissa as your wife and me as your supporter."
"You're a bat."
"They don't know that."
"I want to help Remus but he'd never agree to it. He's too honorable; he would never go against the clan or take Narcissa as his wife. That's why I had to get him drunk."
"Remus is lonely. We need a mate… but you do the same thing the clan does, you choose for us… instead of letting us choose."
"I'm sorry but Remus would have never chosen anyone he would have gone along with the clan..."
"Remus is kind, too kind. I'm not. I will drink our blood. But the Wizarding World will find out, won't they?"
"Allow me to take care of that small detail."
Moony's eyes shone…the clan had belittled Remus from the beginning…it had never given them a chance! Well damn them! Besides he liked the idea that his children would be heirs to Black wealth! Moony raised the cup and held it to his lips.
"I only ask one thing Moony. Let my blood run through your son…it's necessary."
"We will not share her." Moony growled looking a Narcissa who had shrunk back in her seat.
"No never! I want a blood spell that will guarantee my genes as part of the child." Sirius clarified. "This will also help me when your son takes his place as heir of the Black name. No-one will be able to challenge him."
"It will be done Sirius Black child of Prince Alessander Snape." The werewolf agreed and drank the blood.
The Prince had had no reason to try and control the werewolf. It was obvious that the wolf had observed some of the Professor's intellect and control. He moved away from Moony and walked over to Narcissa the woman sat in utter shock with a bloody lip.
"It can't be! It's a joke you would hand me over to a werewolf. How can you!" Narcissa was near hysterics. Why had he done this why!
"Hush up Narcissa, you're children are going to be theheirs of the Black wealth. I thought you'd be pleased!"
88888888888888888888888888888888
Narcissa had come close to running when Moony had leisurely walked over to her and marked her by pulling out his clawlike nails and very lightly scratched her neck. Turning to look at Sirius, Moony announced, "It's done. She is ours."
Moony left after giving Narcissa a good look over, laying his head back he pulled back into Remus's mind and disappeared until days before the full moon.
Hours later Sirius and Prince Alessander carried a very passed out Remus to the main bedroom and laid him on the bed. Sirius loosened his friend's tie and removed his shoes; his friend would be out for a good while. Narcissa unable to contain her emotions sobbed quietly. She was not a woman who was easily frightened but she had seen the transformation that had come over the Wizard that now lay before her. She was frightened by the prospect that her life was now and forever tied to a werewolf and that her children would bear their father's curse.
Sirius turned to go when he felt somoen grasp hi arm, "M'lord you can't! Please you can't!"
Sirius sighed exasperatedly, "Narcissa we all make sacrifices in this life! Think of it as laying yourself down for your son's sake!" Sirius whispered cruelly. Really what did people expect him to do! Allow Remus to lead a miserable life with the clan when he had it in his power to offer him so much more!
"Sacrifices! What sacrifices have you made! What sacrifices! Damn you Sirius Black! Damn you to hell."
Sirius had had enough,"You bitch! You, your sister and your dead husband are all the same! What have I sacrificed? My friend that's who! You don't deserve Remus! You're an uppity selfish cold blooded cunt and the only reason you're married to him is because I couldn't think of anyone else! Make him happy Narcissa or it's Moony and me you'll have to deal with!"
"DON'T THREATEN ME!"
"Threats? Oh! We are past that! Make him Happy or Draco-"
"Leave Draco out of this!"
"I already had but your hysterics made me remember his name. Enjoy your honeymoon dear cousin." After the door was charmed locked Sirius and the Prince left Grimmauld Place.
…………………………….
The Prince followed his child out. Sirius stormed the stairs and bumped into a couple of elves cleaning. He swore at them and the poor creatures bowed themselves out of his way.
Hours later...
Sirius stood by the long windows looking out. "So you love him." Alessander whispered.
"I always will." Sirius admitted with glassy eyes.
"Why didn't you marry him?"
"I didn't have the guts." Sirius admitted turning away, tears of frustration rolling down his face. Sirius had been the heir to the Black name he could've never married a werewolf. He would have lost it all. His cowardice had broght him to this.
"So that's the real reason you didn't want him to be married, that he'd leave?" The Prince asked emotionless.
"I couldn't stand to be away from him. He doesn't know...I don't think so anyway...I never had the guts to tell him. I was afraid he'd run away...we never even..." Sirius whispered dejectedly.
The Prince nodded and wrapped his arms around Sirius, his child finally broke down and cried in his arms. Alessander could afford to be tolerant and allow the Professor to remain alive...they were mated and nothing could tear them apart. He held Sirius closer to him, his Precious Sirius, so tragic so beautiful...so his...
The next day…..
Remus felt his head pounding …he turned over and sleepily opened his eyes wondering how he had made it back to Potter Castle? The last thing he remembered was Sirius telling him to sign something…he turned on his back and was stretching his tired limbs when he heard a sobbing in the corner of the room. He sat up and turned to see Lady Malfoy!
"Merlin! Madam what…what are you doing here?" Remus asked getting out of bed unsteadily. Unable to recognize his bedroom he asked, "Where am I!"
Narcissa pulled back in the chair and responded despairingly, "You are in Grimmauld Place in the main bed chamber Mr. Lupin."
"BUT WHY?"
"Our Lord Sirius Black offered me to you and you accepted me in marriage. We are husband and wife."
"HE!... I DID WHAT!... WE ARE WHAT!"
88888888888888888888888888888888
I know this shows a very manipulative Sirius but the truth of the matter is that as much as I like the character I don't think he has too many redeeming qualities aside from the fact that he'd go to any lengths to help those he loves.
I think he deserves Alessander and.Alessander does love him in his own twisted way that is.
I must say I enjoyed making Moony a sort of independent personality inside Remus, with his own opinion and emotions. I THINK IT'S MORE FUN THAT WAY!
