Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter in any sort of way. If I owned the series Remus, Severus, and Sirius would be madly in love with each other!

Warnings: angst but it turns to fluff in this chapter also this chapter is going to begin right after troop arrives at the estate. (I know the time jumps are confusing but please endure them.)
Ps: If you haven't read chapter two or three please do so because you will probably be confused.

"Regular speech"
"Inside their minds"

Without any more distractions let's begin.

Grenade

"Hey Remus lets show Severus the grounds first!" Sirius called out as he and the dogs ran ahead of the other two men. The little pup Mable playfully barked as she ran with her larger doggy friend Connell.

"Ok Sirius." Remus called out to his hyperactive mate as Severus and he followed behind at a more subdued pace.

"Is he always like that?" Severus asked as he stared at Sirius who was acting very child like.

"Yah, He just has a naturally high amount of energy." Remus said in a chuckle. He looked over to Severus who looked lost in thought. He looked into Severus's eyes and could see that they were unfocused so he clapped his hands together to bring Severus out of his little daydream. "What are you thinking about?" He question gently.

"Nothing really I was just lost in thought I guess." Severus mumbled as he looked down with a small blush on his face and his tail wrapping itself gently around his waist. After he answered Remus an awkward silence began to settle. However, it didn't last for long because the triad and the dogs came to a stop at a path that would lead to a large garden with a medium sized greenhouse off towards the back part of the area which Remus and Sirius had built for them. Remus asked Severus to stay put for a minute so he could go talk to Sirius about something. Severus said ok and Remus walked up to Sirius.

"How much have we actually used the garden since we moved here?" Remus asked Sirius as he looked over to the quietly thinking Severus who was also absent mindedly petting Mable and Connell.

"Not much, why do you ask?" Sirius replied back as he too watched Severus.

"Remember when Albus mentioned at last year's Christmas party that Severus liked to grow his own potion ingredients and flowers?" At this Sirius nodded his head in agreement because he could in fact remember that Albus said that. "Well why don't we give Severus the garden and the greenhouse as a sort of welcoming gift."

"You mean like a courting gift?" Sirius asked slyly because he could sense that was in fact what Remus wanted to do. "I think that is a wonderful idea, maybe it would get him to open up to us more." Sirius added. After this he called Severus over to them. This in turn snapped Severus out of his daydream.

"I'm coming!" Severus yelled back at Sirius, but apparently not fast enough because called back to him saying that he walked slower than an old tortoise walking uphill on a cold January morning. At this Severus replied by saying " Yah, well at least I don't act like I have the mental ability of a seven year old child who has consumed more than enough sugar to sweeten all of England's supply of tea." Felling as if his insult was much more mature than Sirius's (in reality it wasn't) Severus walked up to the other two men.

"Now that you're here close your eyes Mr. Old Tortoise!" Sirius said excitedly almost jumping with all the energy contained within his self. At this Severus merely rolled his eyes because he decided to take the mature course of action by asking why he should close his eyes. "Cause we have something to show you. Please close your eyes Remus and I promise it won't be anything bad." Sirius replied while giving Severus his patented you-will-do-what-I-ask-you-to-puppy-eyed-look that was just too cute for even Severus to go against.

"Fine, if will get you to stop looking so childishly." Severus all but sighed out as he did in fact close his eyes while his ears perked up to listen to sounds of the area. In spite of this Severus was not at all prepared for both of his hands to be held as he was led to whatever the two wanted to show him. "Why are they holding my hand? I could have easily followed the noise the two make as they both walk rather loudly." These thoughts ran through his head as he slowly got used to holding their hands allowing his mind to wonder off towards other thoughts like. "I wonder who is holding which of my hands." At this thought Severus started to fell with both of his hands trying to determine whose hand was whose. As Severus was occupied with felling the hands that held his, he missed the bright smiles that played across the faces that belong to his soon to be mates. The two men squeezed back as Severus squeezed their hands in his quest of determining who was holding which of his own hands. It was only a short moment later that the triad had stopped in the middle of the large garden.

"You can open your eyes now Severus!" Sirius said in an excited manner which startled Severus out of his quiet thinking. With his eyes wide open Severus took in the sight that lay before him. Directly in front of him was an open patch of land that was rectangular in shape and took up about 124 square feet. In the large box like thing grew many vegetables like two stalks of corn, next to a tomato plant that had grown very large, next there was a couple rows of cabbages next to a couple rows of lettuce, which was followed by a section of potatoes and different types of squash, and finally at the other end of the box was where the spices and fruits were grown.

To his left there was a small orchard that held things like banana, coconut, apple, orange, and pear trees. To his right was a section shaded by the trees but remained opened enough to plant many flowers. This area held a table and chair set as well as a standalone swing that swung with the breeze. Looking at it Severus couldn't but think of all the different types of flowers that could be grown there.

Finally Severus looked behind himself to see a medium sized greenhouse that just perfect for growing his potion ingredients. Severus couldn't grasp the reason why they were showing this wonderful place to him. So he asked.

"Why are you showing this place to me?" Severus asked. At this Sirius was beginning to reply but was cut off by Remus.

"Someone told us that you liked to garden so we thought as a welcome to your new home we would give you this space to do whatever it is that you wish to do with it." Remus said as he cut Sirius off.

Hearing this Severus blushed bright red from the thought that someone would give him something so nice and grand as this garden space to do with as he pleased." Severus was unsure as to why they would give him something as nice as this, but he didn't want to question his luck. Besides he finally has something wonderful to have and he doesn't want to lose it. So he thanks them.

"I don't know what to say- I mean that no one has ever given me something as wonderful as this not even Albus has, Tha-Thank you so very much." Severus said in an excited kind of way with both his ears and tails perked up that the other two just thought was absolutely adorable.

"You are very welcome Severus, we don't mind. Heck we don't even use it for anything but growing some food. We both hope you have fun with this and make your own." Remus replied. Severus still looked as if he had received a gift from Merlin himself. To show how much it meant to him he went over to the two men and gave each a quick hug while blushing slightly at the feeling he got from it. Time seemed to stand a still after the hugs were given; Remus and Sirius couldn't help but smile even bigger than before at how cute Severus was acting.

The moment was interrupted by three stomachs voicing their need for food. "Why don't we gather some things to take back for dinner so we can have something to eat?" Remus said. As the triad began to gather some things for dinner Severus couldn't help but smile at the feeling of happiness inside of his heart.

Scene change: After dinner. Warning: A little bit of angst but fear not it turns to fluff!

As the Remus led the way to the wing of the house that the triad had both Sirius and Severus walked at a subdued pace because they felt so full. As the triad walked down the large hallways Severus began to second guess his self and the other two.

"What is it about me that make them want to do all of these nice things for me? I mean I know that I'm not the best looking person out there, or the kindest, nor am I the smartest person. I'm a weak person who can't even express how I feel like most other people. Carolos must have thought I was a weaker person then him. He forced me and I was blinded by my love for him that I couldn't even see the warning signs."

With these thoughts rushing through his head Severus began to feel more and more upset. As Remus opened the door to their shared bedroom the wolf side of him began to sense something not right with his mate. Sirius must have noticed because he looked to Remus for reassurance that everything was right. After sharing a look the two glanced back at Severus who had fallen both behind them and into the dark depths of his mind.

"How do I know that I can trust Remus and Sirius? Sirius and Potter always went out of their way to make my life at Hogwarts hell. Remus wouldn't join in their games and jokes they played on me. But he wouldn't even try to stop them from making me feel like lower than dirt. And then there was that time that Sirius and Remus almost killed when Sirius led me to Remus in his werewolf form. How can I trust them? After all that they've done to me?" Seeing that Severus looked about the edge of crying Remus motioned for Sirius to pick Severus up and place the man on the bed. Sirius nodded in understanding as he lifted the now sobbing softly Severus. Sirius held him as softly as he could and quickly deposited Severus on top on the dark grey blanket that lay on the large bed. After Severus was placed on the bed Remus told Sirius to fetch a glass of water from the bathroom, Sirius began to leave into the adjoining bathroom but stopped for a moment to look at his distressed mates. If only he could do more than just fetch a glass of water.

While Sirius was getting the water Remus tried to calm Severus who was becoming more distressed by the moment. As a last effort Remus tried to hug Severus however, he was pushed away with a yell.

"Get away from me!" Severus yelled as he pushed his self back across the bed until his back hit against the headboard. Remus tried to reach out to Severus but was only snarled at as Severus yelled. "Don't touch me!" Severus was beginning to hyperventilate he had worked his self up so much. As Severus yelled that Sirius walked in with glass of water, the sight of his Alpha having trouble calling out to his other mate who was looked like the world around him was falling made Sirius's heart weep. But he pressed those thoughts back as he tried to help.

"Here Severus, you should drink this. It will help you feel better." Sirius said as he held the glass of water out to Severus. Only to have the glass thrown back toward his face, luckily Remus and his werewolf's reflexes were fast enough to save Sirius from a face full of glass. However, Remus who had put his hand out to try and catch the glass before it broke found his hand covered in blood from the glass that bounced off the wall. Remus turned towards his mates with a growl his wolf side coming to the surface. He was about to lunge at Severus but was pulled back by Sirius who saw their other mate curled around himself in a tight ball. "Stop it! You're scaring him!" Sirius yelled out as he tried to get Remus to come to his human senses, Remus's wolf side decided to speak.

"Why should I care?"Remus growled out still upset. "He tried to hurt you Sirius. You're my mate and I must protect you!" Remus yelled out.

"Because he's as much as your mate as I am, look at him." Sirius pointed to Severus who was shivering and crying all at the same time. "You need to protect him too. Besides by the looks of things he needs you more right now than I need you. Please come back to us." Sirius pleaded towards Remus as the situation began to get more intense.

Remus was silent for awhile. He was surprised that his ever loving and submissive mate was standing up to him. He knew that Sirius only stood up to him when something terrible had happened. So he focused in on Severus who looked as if someone had murdered his family right in front of his very own eyes. His resolves soften as he began to worry about his other mate. Sirius was right Severus needed him more now than Sirius did. But the only question was would he let him in?

"You're right Sirius. I-no we both are needed by Severus." Remus said softly. With a nod of his head both he and Sirius climbed on to the bed. Just as they reached Severus, The man looked up with tear running down his face like a never ending river: of regrets, sadness, and fears. The two sat there and waited for Severus to come to them. It wasn't long until he did.

"Why?" Such a simple yet hard question that led to many others was said. Severus said softly in an almost broken voice. But before the two could begin answer he began to cry softly. "Why me? Why am I stuck with the people who hate me? Why am I such a freak? And- why did Carolos rape me?"

The last one was yelled out as Severus just gave up the fight against his emotions. He let Sirius hug him tight as Remus began to whisper sweet nothings to try and help both of his mates calm down. They sat like this for almost an hour until Severus finally stopped crying. A little while after this Severus spoke. "I'm sorry for the trouble" This was last thing that either Sirius or Remus were expecting. The shock showed clearly on their faces.

"What for?" Sirius was the first to break the silence with Severus answering.

"Because I'm a weak person who almost killed you and I acted very improperly." Severus sniffled out as his tail stayed curled tightly around him.

"I probably deserved that." Sirius confessed as he began to think of all the mean and downright horrible things James and he did to Severus during and after Hogwarts.

"We don't hate you Severus." Remus said in a reassuring way towards Severus. He felt like just holding both of his mates and protects them from all harm. Severus looked at them disbelievingly as his ear perked up a little.

"You're not a freak either, who ever told you that should be shot." Sirius said as he reached out to hug the still slightly shivering man. Severus granted the touch while he leaned into the hug great full for someone there that was trying to make him feel better.

"We don't know why it was you, but we are happy. Severus Sirius and I have grown to care deeply about you. Please let us be there for you." Remus said as he joined the hug.

"Whoever this Carolos is he better have someone watching his back while he watches his front because if we ever find that man he is going to pay dearly." Sirius promised as he whispered to Severus. Severus had by now composed himself enough to look both Remus and Sirius in the eyes as he asked his final question.

"How do I know you aren't trying to use me like Carolos did?" Severus whispered calmly, but his tail was still curled tightly around his self showing his fear.

"We could swear to you we won't." Remus replied back within a sec.

"How do I know you're not lying?" Severus asked in disbelief.

"Because we will swear by our own blood that we won't betray, hurt, or use you Severus." Remus replied again.

"I still don't trust you." Severus said. Finally fed up with the man denial Remus grabbed his bloody hand and made Sirius grasp it. He looked at Sirius and whispered to him as he asked him if it was alright. Sirius said yes because he understood what was needed of them to hopefully get Severus to trust them. Sirius picked up two pieces of glass and passed one on to his alpha.

"Severus as witness to this deed we ask that you will finally understand that we wish you know harm." Remus began as he sliced his palm open while he began to chant. As Remus held his palm face up Sirius took his piece of glass and sliced his palm as well. After repeating the chant he clasped his hand with Remus so their blood could mix between their palms. "As our blood mixes together we show that we will be faithful to you Severus even as the end draws near." Remus and Sirius said together while looking into Severus's eyes.

After the words where said a string of white light began to glow through the joined hands. The light showed that Remus and Sirius were not lying and had pure heartily completed their part of the bond. However, it was up to Severus to accept their promise. The light jumped from their hands and slammed its self into Severus's chest where his heart would be.

In a bond such as this the person who the bond is made to can choose to accept or reject the bond. If the bond is accepted the light will fade into that person's heart while the wounds caused by it would then disappear without a trace. On the other hand if the bond is rejected then the light will be reflected away from the person leaving a scare permanently etched into the other person's skin.

It took about ten minutes for Severus to decide. As the light began to fade into his heart there was a moment of peacefulness amongst the triad. Severus looked between the two he could not see any lies hidden in their eyes. He looked down in shame at what he had done, but before he could revert back into the state he was in only a short hour ago his face was lifted by a pair of two different hands.

"How about we take a bath all together? Remus asked as Sirius gently kissed Severus's tear stained check as Remus petted his ears and head. Severus couldn't help but nod gently as he couldn't find any words to express his self. Seeing that Severus had agreed to it Remus gently picked both Severus and Sirius up off the bed and carried both of them to the bathroom.

End of angst now it's time for the fluff!

Bathroom (another bathroom scene)

As Severus relaxed into the bath next to Sirius he couldn't help be feel somewhat shy and awkward about what happened. He had placed most of his inner fears in front of the two. Instead of being disgusted or making jokes about it, the two were surprisingly supportive of him. What shocked him the most was that the two joined in an eternal blood bond just for his sake, the thought alone made him feel like everything was going to be all right, but all peaceful moments must come to an end. As Severus was jarred away from his thoughts when a certain Mutt poured a small bucket of bubbly water over his head, as the bubbles came down on him Severus smiled a little as he fought back with a splash.

"What was that for Mutt?" Severus asked as he wiped the bubbles from his face. Sirius only cocked a bright smile as he splashed Severus back saying.

"Cause I wanted too." At this Sirius stuck his tongue out. Only to have Remus lightly smacked him upside the head, and Severus began to laugh softly. Merriment clearly showed on his face. Remus and Sirius couldn't believe that the man who had just about cried his self dry a little while was actually laughing at them. The two looked at each and back at Severus. Almost identical smiles played on their faces as they watched their soon to be mate being at ease with them.

"I don't know about you two, but I think we should get out because I'm starting to wrinkle from the water." Remus said after a little while. But this only caused Sirius and surprisingly Severus to pout childishly.

"But I don't wanna." Sirius whined like a child as Severus looked to be in agreement with him. Nevertheless, both Severus and he where beginning to wrinkle as well, so the triad decided to finish their bath. Until now the triad did not consider how they were all going to get out of the bath without their private parts showing (They took a bubble bath). Each stood at the edge of the tub looking at each until finally Remus came up with a solution.

"I'll get out first so Sirius can help you two get ready for bed." Remus said to a now blushing as he walked out of the tub. His muscular ass opened for the other two to ogle as he walks out to their bedroom with a towel thrown over his shoulders. After Remus left Sirius bend down to unplug the bath as he two walked out of the bath towards the towel rack. Without looking back to Severus he grabbed two of the towels. He wrapped one tight around his middle and tossed the other one back to Severus. A few moments later he turned around and held his hand out for Severus to grab and said.

"Hey grab my hand." To this Severus blushed and grabbed the hand offered to him. With a smile Sirius led Severus to the large closet in the bathroom. As he opened it up a rainbow of differently colored and pattern set of pajama was shown. Severus's ears perked up at the imagination of wearing any of those pajamas to bed, for he greatly disliked his grey and scratchy sleep shirt. Seeing Severus's dream-like daze towards the pajamas Sirius smiled as he led Severus into the closet. "What are your favorite colors?" Sirius asked Severus who was blushing while playing with his tail as mumbled out something. "What did you say? You need to speak a little louder." Sirius said as he really couldn't make out what Severus had indeed said. So Severus said it again.

"I like purple and white the most." Severus said a little louder while blushing brightly. Sirius thought that Severus was just as cute as a little kitten. With a nod of his head Sirius called out to the closet the colors that Severus liked. At the command the closet rearranged itself so the purple and white pajamas were up front so they could see them. Sirius motioned for Severus to pick one but the man just stood there.

"Go on pick out whatever you like also the drawer in front of you holds underwear so pick one of those too unless you like going commando." Sirius gently pushed Severus forward until the man went about picking his pajamas. "I'm going over there to get my pajamas so you can change over here if you like." Sirius said as he walked towards the back of the closet. Seeing that Sirius was no longer next to him Severus focused on the task at hand. He felt around the different types of fabric that ranged from the softest cottons to the silkiest of the silk pajamas. He made his mind up when he saw a somewhat feminine piece of sleepwear. It had thin violet colored straps that matched the rest of the dress-like top which was opened in the back. The bottoms where small white Shorty short that were mainly hidden by the top. Finally he opened the drawer in front of him a selected a feminine type pair of underwear.

After making all of his selection Severus looked at Sirius who was still making up his mind on which pair of pajamas to wear. Seeing that in was clear for him to change he did so quietly and quickly. After he was dressed Severus began to pleat his long raven hair so he could get ready for bed. When his hair was done it seemed that Sirius was done as well, for he was sporting a sky blue shirt that had a witty saying on it paired with a pair of white shorts similar to Severus that had sexy written across the butt of the shorts. Noticing that Severus was waiting for him Sirius came to him and grab on his hand again but not before mentioning how cute Severus. Which earned another blush from Severus as he followed be hide Sirius while reading the sexy written across his ass as Sirius led him to the bedroom so the triad could sleep.

Bedroom: no smut

When Severus and Sirius walked into the bedroom Severus was awed by its size. The room had a very tall ceiling couple with the massive amount of floor space made the room feel very big. As Sirius led Severus to the bed that could easily fit five grown men comfortably Severus looked confusingly at Sirius because Remus was lying at the top of the bed stretched out horizontally instead of the usual way a person would sleep. Seeing the confused looking man Remus explained.

"It's so I can be against both of you while the two of you sleep side by side." Remus stated. When Sirius saw that Severus was not moving he simply dragged the man over to the bed a motion for Severus to climb in. It took a few minutes for all three men to get situated in the bed with Severus and Sirius spooning while Remus had one arm wrapped around Severus and his other wrapped around Sirius. Before the lights were turned off Severus quickly pecked both Remus and Sirius on the cheek, after that he quickly turned a hid his face in the bedding causing the other two to smile at his shyness. With that the Triad slept cocooned in the warm that their bodies emitted until the new day dawned.

Two months later

During the past couple of months the Triad had grown closer together. It took until the first month for Severus to return the hugs given to him by both Remus and Sirius. He still had trouble with being awkward but that was mainly due to his shyness around his mates. While his godson and Harry's relation seemed to grow into the mature aspects the triad's stayed in the more sweet and innocent stages. With every day Severus becoming more attached to the child-like Sirius and the calm and mature Remus.

Overall life was good. However, when Draco began to complain about a hot itch that was like his own, Severus booked both him and his godson a visit for Dr. Erickson, the man who would become their primary doctor. The visit to the doctors wasn't as bad as Severus thought it would be. The Doctor was a nice and polite man who answered all of Draco's questions with hesitation and in an easy to understand way.

As the visit came to its end the Doctor asked Severus to stay back, so Severus told Draco to go on ahead. When Draco left the doctor asked him why he didn't ask many questions.

"Because I understand that the same will happen to me as well." Severus answered truthfully. The doctor shrugged it off and said that if Severus felt anything odd happening he could contact him either his office number or his cellular number. Severus said thanked the doctor as he walked out of the office feeling good about his self. With that Severus and Draco walked out of the Doctor's office with both of their stomachs groaning for food.

The two at a little restaurant that severed a variety of different food and drinks, they waited at the door to be seated. After the kind waitress Catherine led them to a table that look out on to a river she began to take their orders.

"May I have a Meat and Potato platter please?" Severus asked politely. The waitress asked what kind of meat he replied. "The chicken breast would do." The waitress wrote that down and asked how he wanted his potatoes and what kind of drink he wanted. "Could I have them mashed and topped with white gravy?" The waitress nodded yes and wrote it down and waited for his drink. "Could I have a cookies and cream milkshake please?" At this the waitress finished writing Severus's order down and turned to Draco. Draco ordered a pasta plate that included lasagna, chicken Alfredo, and small portion of mushroom pasta. For his drink he ordered a sweet berry tea. After their meals came the two talked pleasantly about their mates and all of their little habits, overall it was a great lunch.

When the two men got home they were ambushed by Harry and Sirius who were worried about them. But as Sirius hugged him Severus couldn't help but fell as if this was all a dream. So he pinched himself and Sirius. This began a small tickle fight to break out between the two with Remus in the back ground thinking how lucky he was to have such wonderful mates. Even though their relationship hasn't gotten over the sweet and innocent part yet, Remus was still happy. Besides now the person Severus hid away a long time ago was begin to surface and both Remus and Sirius couldn't wait for the sad and socially awkward Severus to disappear to leave be hide the sweet and shy man Severus was in private.

End of Chapter 4.

Yay, I finally got this done hope you all liked it. I felt so bad for not writing in like forever because there really isn't a good enough excuse for it. So any way on a lighter note how did you guys think, did you love it, hate, or neither?

First time doing angst so was it ok?
