Marvolo and Remus look like they were in middle of some serious discussion when I arrive in dining room for breakfast. I greet Marvolo with a kiss on cheek and Remus with a hug.

"Anything interesting this morning?" I ask them serving myself some food.

"We were just discussing new werewolf law." Marvolo replies.

"What do you think of it, Moony?" I ask Remus.

"It may become legal for werewolves to hold jobs. But it does not mean people will be willing to hire them." Remus replies in matter of fact tone.

"You are right Moony, the wizarding world is much too prejudiced for that." I say solemnly.

"What do you suggest we do then, Mr. Lupin." Marvolo asks Remus.

"You can try offering people subsidies and tax rebates if they hire werewolves. That will motivate some people. And if you don't mind me saying so, you should do something about Greyback and his clique. People are not going to accept us as long as werewolves like Greyback are running free." Remus informs Marvolo boldly. Now that is a Gryffindor, I think fondly.

"Subsidies sound like a good idea, I will think something about Greyback. I will be busy at the Ministry whole day, Harry, I will see you in evening." Marvolo informs me and departs.

"Let's go outside, Moony, I love gardens here." I lead Remus outside to the oak tree that I had found on my first day here and erect some privacy wards around two of us.

"Paranoid much, cub?" he asks half jokingly, half seriously.

"I would not put it past my husband to have listening and spy spells all over the place. Did you bring the books, I need." I ask Remus, he hands me a set of ten books and a box.

"That is a gift from Weasley Twins." He informs me.

"Twins?" I ask him opening the box, it contains joke items like instant darkness powder, trick candies, love potions etc. Under all that they seem to have hidden a large collection of sex toys. I feel my face heat up when I look at handcuffs, chains, collars, beads etc. I quickly cover the box and look at Remus puzzled. I had thought that all Weasleys were in on plan against me. Twins and Charlie had not been at the Burrow actually. They were busy with the preparations for opening of their joke shop and Charlie had remained in Romania. But I had thought they will be involved too.

"Yes. You tell me what has been going on in last two days cub and I will then tell you what I have found out." Remus says. In next hour, I inform him of events of last two days since I arrived at Slytherin Manor, the tentative plans I have made and my progress so far.

"Wow cub, you sure got your deviousness from Lily, had she not been a muggleborn, she would have been in Slytherin. So Voldemort wants an heir of Black blood, what do think of that?" He looks at me with a frown on his face.

"I maybe able to use that information to my advantage, what have you learnt?"

"From what I have found out, Dumbledore is the one who came up with the idea of the peace treaty, the Minister was not much harder to convince. They freed Lucius Malfoy as a gesture of goodwill and sent him to Voldemort with the proposal. After hardly any negotiations, they accepted Voldemort's terms. Dumbledore took upon himself to ensure that you signed the contract. That you would be forced to do so one way or another was a given and understood by all.

In an order meeting which included Weasleys, except for the twins and Charlie, Granger, Mad-eye and Snape, everyone was ordered by Dumbledore to find a way to make you sign the contract within two weeks as the Ministry had already set the date for the wedding.

Bill was the one, having access to Gringotts, who found the potions which will not interfere with magic of the contract if you were under their effect. Snape was the one who brewed the potions. Hermione was the one who came up with the idea of putting the potions in your food and to leave you as little time as possible before the wedding to think things through.

The twins did not anything as they were deemed not trustworthy by their mother and Charlie is simply not interested in anything but his dragons. Also the twins consider you their brother and are ready to help you in anyway, even against their family." Remus finished with a small smile.

"How did you get all this information?" I ask him dumbfounded.

"I may have nicked some veritaserum from Snape's stores and Dora is rather good at memory charms." He looks abashed.

"You and Auntie Nymphadora make a good team, Moony. Did you ask her out?" I tease him.

"I will and I will also tell her about you calling her 'Nymphadora'." He laughs.

"Don't please and remind me to send her a nice 'Thank You' gift. I need to meet the twins too." I give him a smile and continue seriously, "I need the list of potions they used on me; I may need it near future. This whole mess looks like Dumbledore's plan all along. From his initiation of the peace treaty and his words last night, he is counting on my need to avenge my parents, my hatred of Voldemort and my need for freedom, to kill my husband and make whatever sacrifice necessary."

"Dumbledore has plans and back-up plans cub. He will try something else once he realises that you are not complying with his wishes." Remus informs me gravely.

"Yes, we need to take him down fast. But the wizarding world love the bastard, we have to do something about that first. He cannot die a martyr's death." I am determined that he will not be worshipped even in death.

"His family used to live in Godric's Hollow, there are bound to be some skeletons buried in his closet. Leave it me, I will find out every dirty little secret the bastard has buried." He looks determined; who am I to oppose after his report on whole contract fiasco.

"You do that. In meantime I will work on taking down his lieutenants." I call for Mimsy to bring us a picnic basket, "Moody and Snape, Dumbledore may call on Weasleys whenever he needs; but he relies heavily on Snape and Moody; Moody, for advice and Snape, to do his dirty work." I elaborated.

"Whose side is Snivellus on? Sirius was convinced he was a death eater and Dumbledore trusts him implicitly." Remus looks confused.

"Oh Snape is the ultimate Slytherin, Moony. He has made himself indispensable to both his masters. His loyalty is to only himself. I have something special planned for our dear potions master, leave him to me. As for Moody, if the twins are up to it, they will have the task to arrange a permanent bed for him in St. Mungo's mental ward." I inform him with evil little smile.

"You are scary cub, did you know that?" Remus mock shudder and I laugh.

"Do you know, Moony that a pureblood Lord is honour bound to avenge all hurts done to his Consort, even past ones." I ask him gleefully.

"Where are you going with this cub?" Remus looks confused again.

"Don't you think the Dursleys will love a visit from Lord Voldemort?" I inform him cackling evilly in my head.

"But you said, you did not want to be indebted to your husband."

"Oh! There is a thing called subtlety dear Moony, I have a plan to fix my public image and get revenge on Dursleys, all with one plan." So I informed him of my plan.

"You are a genius cub, you have motivated me to give my best, so I am off to Godric's Hollow. I will see you tomorrow for your tutoring. Take care cub." Remus kisses me on my forehead.

"You too Uncle Moony. And give my love to Auntie Dora." I escort him to floo in the reception hall and head for library.


I call for Kreecher to bring me Polaris Black's potions journal and clean up the potions lab in Black house. Polaris Black was a world renowned potions master few generations back. He published a lot of newly created potions, but his more dangerous recipes he kept in family. I am planning to use one of these recipes to trap Dumbledore's pet death eater. It will be my ultimate revenge against him, for taunts I had suffered in potions class, to destroy him with a potion.

Marvolo arrived in time for dinner. He had a busy day; Lucius Malfoy was sworn in as the new Minister of Magic. The Wizengamot is going to be reviewing all laws for next two weeks and then the changes will begin. Marvolo seems very enthusiastic to begin changes; I think he is enjoying being the Overlord of the wizarding world a bit too much.

After finishing my night ablutions, I wear a thin night robe and go to Marvolo's bedroom. His bedroom is a very large room. Green marble everywhere, ebony wood, silver drapings, silver-grey sheets on the bed; Slytherin Lord indeed. Marvolo seems to be in bathroom. After yesterday, I am not willing to wait another night for him to come to me. I hang my robe on a post by his bed and arrange myself on his bed naked.

Marvolo comes out of bathroom in his night robes and stares at me incredulously, frozen on his spot. So much for Slytherin subtlety, let's take the Gryffindor route then. I stretch my arms and legs wide open, "I am feeling a bit neglected here." I hiss at him. He got the hint alright. Seconds later his robes are lying on floor and he is on top of me.

##############LEMON#########

I bury my hands in his lovely hair, pull him down and kiss him; hard with lots of tongue sliding over his lips. He opens his mouth in surprise, giving my tongue a nice opportunity to enter his mouth and play around. He appreciates it, moans in my mouth, draping his long body over mine, and covers me completely. I wriggle under him, rubbing my erection against his, drawing new moans from him.

Suddenly I realise something, he needs me badly. The past two years, and Merlin knows how long before the time he was discorporated, he looked like a snake, nobody had looked at him with desire, touched him voluntarily, showed desire for him. I can only imagine what this meant to him, a young, innocent partner, his former mortal enemy to boot, reaching out for him, wanting him, desiring him. He shudders as my other hand starts exploring his body. I can use this power, in and out of bedroom.

I will think more on that later, for now I want him to prepare me as Poppy had ordered. I break the kiss and plead softly for more, spreading my legs even wider and bucking my hips, letting no doubt arise of what exactly I want more of. My enthusiasm seems to please him and desire in his eyes rise to a new level.

A well lubricated finger slips inside me. I cannot deny his experience. He plays my body like an expert musician playing his instrument. I love it, wanted more, and more I soon got. A second finger, and a third one soon join the first. I feel so open, so full; I cannot imagine it could get any better. Until number four joins its brothers, and they start a bunched attack at my prostate. I am overcome with so many sensations in my body, the clever fingers hitting my sensitive spot time and again, the knuckles of his bunched fingers gently pushing against my relaxing muscle, I melt into a puddle of tears and cum as my orgasm hit me.

I watch him apply lubricant generously over his erection and soon he is positioned between my wide open legs. He pushes inside slowly carefully as if he is afraid to hurt me. He starts pushing inside me gently. I need and want more than that.

"Marvolo ... please I am not going to break." I inform him.

"Patience, my lttle serpent." He continues with same pace, until I am literally begging him to move faster. He suddenly stops and moves back until he nearly withdraws and re-enter completely, then continues same movements on a faster pace. By this time, my happy spot is getting all the stimulation it can desire, and I am moaning incoherently and babbling utter nonsense. He is making same noises above me.

Soon I am reaching the peak again, this time we both come together.

#######END LEMON##########

We lay panting side by side for few minutes. When I get my breath under control, I try to get up to move to my room. Marvolo stops me by wrapping his arms around my waist and orders me to stay. He is soon asleep; I am feeling a bit uncomfortable lying in his arms. I am not accustomed to another body beside me while sleeping. But I am not going to deny him this; after all I need him to be thoroughly attached to me. Slowly, I join him in Morpheus's realm.
