This is War
A/N: So, I know this is 3 weeks coming and I wish to inform you that the reason I hadn't uploaded for a few weeks was because my Cat took a turn for the worse and I had to make the difficult decision to put her down a few weeks ago and was in no space to write for a while. Truthfully I'm still mourning the loss of my best friend but I've found the will to write again.
I noticed a slight story inconsistency which I am clarifying now and have amended on fanfic's chapter 16. Dorea took the kids to safety and went to get Charlus hence why she missed a majority of the battle.
Chapter 18: The Moment to Fight part 2
When Harry, Hela and Apolline returned to Black manor, racing into the place the destruction of a once glorious house met their eyes. Stepping over scorched earth and broken furniture and buildings they entered the main dining room where Bellatrix and Narcissa were hugging each other, the younger girl crying while the older just held her. Melania was rubbing Arcturus' back while he just kneeled next to the body of his older sister. They may have been on the wrong side of the Grindelwald War but family mattered in the end, she had taken a curse his son had meant for him. Protecting him like she did when they were kids, and he was being bullied for his small size. Andromeda, Lily, Ted, Sirius and Regulus had been beside themselves as Narcissa ushered them through the floo to the safety of Hogwarts telling Lily to contact Harry immediately before she ran back to the battle. Baron Black, and the Black family had survived, but aside from Arcturus and Melania, the rest were essentially children.
"What happened?" Harry asked Bellatrix, the only one who while still in shock, seemed to have her head still on her shoulders as her iris' had refused to return to normal and instead remained currently as Hungarian Horntail eyes scanning for any signs of danger.
"Father and Aunt Walburga, I didn't realise they had slipped from the celebration. They came, with him, his death eaters and…"
"Demons," Hela finished, the girl nodded.
"You drove them off?"
"Aunt Cassiopeia told us that only divine blessed or touched could destroy them. We were accepted by Death as Peverell's, I was able to destroy them but…" Bellatrix trailed off, Harry nodded in understanding.
"Lord Black," Harry began but Melania stopped him.
"Lord Peverell, my husband is grieving. Give him his space, tend to my granddaughters first," Melania's voice came as more of a warning than anything else, he relented and approached Bellatrix and Narcissa.
"Harry! I… I had to! He… Great Aunt Cassy… Mother… Uncle Orion and Pollux…" Narcissa hiccupped as tears and snot marred her once flawless face, she was anything but the picture of a perfect pureblood.
Harry wrapped his arms around her, placing a hand on her head and gently stroking it in comfort as she cried into his chest.
"It's okay Cissy, you did what you had to in order to protect everyone else," Harry said gently. Harry looked at Bellatrix who was as kneeling next to a lifeless Druella Black.
"Bella?" Harry asked.
"She didn't deserve this, mother wasn't necessarily the best, she did try at some points. She deserved more than just dying from father and aunt Walburga's decisions."
The wards signalled someone else was coming through the floo and almost instantly all wands were raised as Dorea Potter exited the floo followed by Charlus, both of them had their wands out expecting to be coming into a battle.
"Arty!" Dorea gasped, rushing over to her kneeling brother, almost instantly everyone relaxed seeing familiar faces.
"She sacrificed herself for me," Arcturus mumbled, Dorea wrapped him in a comforting hug as she wept.
"Cassy was always protecting us, even when she followed Grindelwald." Dorea and Arcturus started speaking of Cassiopeia, leaving Melania with moments to check over everything else.
"What happened here?" Charlus asked, approaching Harry who was still holding Narcissa.
"I don't know myself; I was called to another emergency with the Devereaux's," Harry replied.
"Shit, multiple places were hit today, Harry. All at once, Death Eaters en mass."
"This attack was led by Lord Voldemort himself, along with… demons, he, Walburga and Father intended to kill us all," Bellatrix growled.
"The other attacks must've been a distraction, meant to distract the Aurors and us and… did you say demons?" Charlus froze, Bellatrix nodded.
"Those exist?" Another nod, then he looked to Harry who nodded.
"Lauretta, Jean-Paul, Nadine and Veroniqua Devereaux were almost killed by them in what appeared to be a trap."
"Merlin's balls, what the hell is going on? It's been silent for months and then… all this?!"
"It seems like Lord Slytherin was no longer content at trying to stay in the dark, it's open warfare now," Harry muttered darkly.
"Gather the men and women, we'll plan our own offensive. I want to hit his major supporters all at once, no mercy. If they surrender we'll give them a fair trial if they don't, they'll be put down like rabid dogs," Harry added.
"It'll take me a few hours to get around to everyone, plus we need to sort this out here. What if I tell everyone to gather at Peverell manor in two days' time and be geared up for an offensive? I'll have everyone gather in their individual teams from the Grindelwald War," Charlus suggested.
"Done," Harry said, a hand placed on his arm brought his attention as he looked into the enraged and determined eyes of Bellatrix.
"I'm coming," she stated, Harry went to argue.
"No, Harry, they attacked our home, our family. I don't give a fuck about school or Hogwarts, you're going on the offensive with Grandfather and Uncle Charlus. I'm coming with you, they need to know that the House of Black is out for its pound of flesh," her crazed look caused Harry to shiver, seeing elements of Bellatrix Lestrange from his time, he simply nodded.
"I won't be in the fight but… I'll monitor the children of the dark families in Slytherin and make sure they don't leave or are apprehended beforehand," Narcissa spoke up from his arms.
"I'll give you a list of the students who are children of our men and women who will help you," Charlus added immediately.
"I don't suppose I'll be able to talk you two out of helping as well?" Harry looked over at Apolline and Hela who shook their heads.
"We'll split apart with the attacking teams, if we encounter any of the demons they'll need a blessed Sentinel to deal with them. It'll be much more efficient," Hela replied, Harry sighed.
"Very well, Charlus, Arcturus, tomorrow night I would like for you both along with Melania, Dorea, James, Andromeda, Ted, Regulus and Sirius to come to Peverell manor, I have something of the utmost importance to tell you. But it can wait a day," Harry said, they looked at him strangely before nodding.
"We will be there, for the moment take the girls back to your manor and take care of them," Melania instructed, Harry nodded and whisked Bellatrix and Narcissa away knowing Hela and Apolline would follow on their own.
Millicent Bagnold had been having a shit day, all of the department heads had been summoned and were dealing with the same issues they had been for a few months. Namely the current state of the civil war that they were clearly in but not everyone had acknowledged. There was a clear divide between the two sides, Lord Slytherin and his dark allies and Lord Peverell and the grey and light parties, with Peverell having the support of Lord Black and Potter, along with Albus Dumbledore.
Currently Millicent had in the room herself as the Minister of Magic, her senior Secretary and personal aid Emily Osbert, Bartemius Crouch who is the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Unspeakable Ripcurl, the Head of the Department of Mysteries. Mafalda Hopkirk the Head of the Department of Education, Thaddeus Nott, the Head of the Department of International Cooperation, Walden McNair the Head of the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
"I have once again heard from a few of the international Ministers of Magic about their concerns regarding our civil war, particularly the French given how involved the Devereaux Family have become with Lord Peverell," Millicent sighed, rubbing her temples.
"What the French claim and say can't be taken seriously, they hardly did anything in the Grindelwald War aside from providing the International Allied Forces with rations. I would hardly consider their concern worth acknowledging," McNair grumbled.
"But still, we cannot be ignorant about the skirmishes that occurred months ago between Lord Peverell and the Dark Lord Voldemort. Somehow our investigations haven't uncovered any of the Dark Lord's more powerful supporters. Unspeakable Ripcurl have your investigations gone any better?" Crouch spat, the hooded figure remained passive for a few moments before speaking.
"I have assigned Unspeakable Ironknight and trainee Croaker to the task, they've yet to come up with anything," Ripcurl replied.
"All you've found are regular dark aligned witches and wizards, some of them have a fancy tattoo and support the Dark Lord, a few of them have been convicted of crimes and guilty of being Death Eaters but they have been barely any out of those few," Nott said.
"Who've you put in charge of interrogations?" Millicent asked.
"Evan Rosier, he's our best interrogator," Crouch replied.
"What about Lord Potter or Black? They've their own share of interrogation knowledge from the Grindelwald War, Black in particular," Ripcurl cut in, Millicent nodded in agreement.
"Bah! We do not need to rely on Potter and Black, I am perfectly capable of running my department," Crouch defended.
"Then why hasn't progress been made," Mafalda Hopkirk finally spoke up, pushing her glasses up her face while peering at Crouch.
"We have made progress, we've removed many potential supporters and death eaters from the streets," he growled.
"But that hasn't stopped the problem, the Dark Lord is still recruiting and causing chaos and bodies are turning up. There've been reports of muggles disappearing across the countryside without a trace. The Muggle Prime Minister is beginning to ask questions," Millicent said.
A rumbling resonated throughout the entire Ministry of Magic, causing everyone to pause.
"What the hell?" Crouch said as he stood up wand in hand, moving towards the door he didn't see the killing curse coming from behind as Thaddeus Nott stood.
"What the hell Nott!" Millicent said shocked.
"You know, Minister, you were a shit minister and an ugly godforsaken bint I've had the displeasure of seeing every day for who knows how long. And I'm glad to be the one who got to curse Crouch in his stubborn back," he gloated.
"So what? You sold your soul?"
"I did what anyone would do for the betterment of our kind, we deserve more, we shouldn't be hiding who we are from muggles who are beneath us. The Dark Lord has the right idea."
"So what, you throw your lot in with him and his lot?"
"I've been following Lord Slytherin since we were in Hogwarts, he has the right ideals."
"Lord Slytherin? He's the Dark Lord. Of fucking course, that means every one of you who follow him are his primary supporters."
"Guilty," McNair sneered.
The temperature in the room started dropping as screams started echoing throughout the ministry of magic. Shadows cascaded throughout the room as scratching and the harrowing of claws on tiles got closer and closer.
Narcissa and Bellatrix sat back-to-back in the bath in Harry's bathroom, water raining down on them. Silence was the only thing that was audible aside from the sound of water hitting their bodies.
"You okay?" Bella asked, voice barely audible.
"No, you? You killed… well, I mean you killed again. Does killing get easier?"
"It's easy when they wear a mask, you don't see their faces nor know who they are or were."
"And when you know their face? I killed our father."
"He was trying to kill us, you stopped him from killing grandfather. You should have gone with the others and escaped with Aunt Dorea for backup. But I'm glad you were here to save grandfather; I wouldn't have been able to transform in time and grandmother wasn't in a position to defend him."
"Are you really going to follow Harry in the raids on the other dark families?"
"Yes, they targeted us, our family. They should know never to cross a Black and leave us alive."
"Do one thing for me?"
"Whatever you want."
"Give them hell."
"I'll make them regret following the Dark Lord."
"Bella?"
"Yes Cissy?"
"I don't want to wait for our wedding to be with Harry."
"Me either, life has become short ever since Harry shattered our lives."
"But he's still the best man we've ever met."
"He is."
"Even if he is from a different timeline to our own?"
"Even still."
"I don't want to be a trophy wife."
"I don't want to be a crazy psychopath."
"So, we doing this?"
"Together."
"Together."
Turning the shower off, Bellatrix and Narcissa wrapped themselves in towels and exited the bathroom. Both girls looked at each other and gave a slight smile.
"How are you two feeling?" Apolline asked, she and Hela had been waiting in Harry's bedroom for the two girls to finish their shower however long they were going to be.
"How do you think we feel?" Bellatrix replied.
"Like shit," Apolline replied honestly.
"We've decided on what we need," Narcissa said, speaking up.
"A night with Harry, alone?" Apolline guessed, both girls nodded.
"We'll go get him for you, see you in the morning mi amore's," Apolline kissed each of them on the cheek.
"Good luck," Hela smiled as she followed Apolline.
The two Black sisters made themselves as comfortable as they could on Harry's bed. It was only a few minutes before Harry himself entered.
"Bella, Cissy? Pol said you wanted to see - oh, sorry, you're not dressed," He went bright red and turned around, both girls looked at him and each other before giggling.
"Harry, you can look. We decided what we needed tonight to help us. And that is you, we want to do this on our terms," Narcissa said.
"You've had a traumatic experience, there's no need to rush into this you two," Harry said still averting his eyes, Bella rolled her eyes at Narcissa before standing up and approaching Harry who still had his back turned to them.
"Potter, you are going to turn around, you are going to get on the bed, and you are going to have sex with two of the Daughters of the Black family, and you are not going to argue about it because it is what we want," she turned him around and jabbed at his chest with a finger purposefully allowing her towel to drop to the ground revealed her nude body.
"Tonight, and all other nights, with us, you will be who you are. Harry Potter, and we will be who we are, Narcissa and Bellatrix Black," Narcissa following Bella's example stood and sauntered over swaying her hips, walking around Harry in a circle, his eyes followed her as she slowly dropped her own towel, Bella meanwhile crossed her arms over her exposed breasts while raising an eyebrow at her younger sister's actions.
"Are you sure?" He asked, voice breaking slightly.
"We're about to start fighting an all-out war, we need to enjoy what time we have together," Narcissa reached up and placed both of her hands on his cheeks before pulling him down into a sensual kiss.
While Narcissa had him occupied Bellatrix used her hands to unbutton his shirt and started pulling it off of him. Breaking the kiss, Harry was immediately pulled into another one by Bella, hers was rough and needy, the exact opposite of Narcissa's sensual kiss. Narcissa helped pull the rest of his shirt off before her hands dropped to his pants and she started unbuttoning them while Bellatrix had him lip locked. Once Narcissa had successfully dropped his pants to the ground Bella let him go and Harry stumbled slightly stepping out of his pants leaving him in his boxers with a rather sizeable tent.
"Are you two sure about -" he was cut off by Narcissa's finger on his lips.
"Shut up and enjoy yourself," she said almost shyly.
Bella pushed Harry's back and he stumbled onto the bell, it hit the back of his knees forcing him to drop back onto it on his back. He leaned up and looked at them, both girls were naked and beautiful, Bellatrix was more athletic and skinnier but had fuller breasts while Narcissa was slightly shorter and blonde, but her hips had more curves to them. Each of them individually would stop a man's heart, both of them together, Harry questioned if he was stuck in a really long sometimes amazing dream.
"Pol mentioned you were really good with your mouth, I'd like to try that out first," Narcissa's voice squeaked nervously.
"Whatever you two want, you're in the drivers seat," Harry replied scooting back on the bed a bit.
"You don't mind do you Bella?"
"Go for it Cissy, I have my eyes on something else," Bella grinned, licking her lips while her eyes narrowed in on Harry's tented erection.
Narcissa walked forwards first, Bella hung back a bit watching. She crawled onto the bed her body coming over Harry's own, when they were face to face she leaned down, propping herself up on her arms, and kissed him again. He responded eagerly to the kiss as his hands caressed her hips. Getting slightly impatient Bellatrix walked up behind the two of them and gave Narcissa a slight spank on her rear causing a yelp.
"Bella!"
"Move up already Cissy, I'm being left hanging here," Bella replied rolling her eyes.
Narcissa poked her tongue out at her sister but shuffled up on Harry's body until she was essentially hovering above his face, his hands remained on her hips as he came face to face with her glistening sex. He pulled down on her hips and immediately his mouth went to work causing Narcissa to let out a surprised squeak before a long moan followed. Eagerly he continued his ministrations on her as Narcissa starts grinding her hips against his mouth.
Bella, upon Narcissa shuffling up more. Hooked her fingers into Harry's waistband of his boxers and pulled them down freeing his erection, the action almost had it entirely smacking her in the face as it was freed.
"Holy shit, Cissy, look at this!" Bella gasped, Narcissa looked over her shoulder letting out a low moan.
"Merlin! She wasn't exaggerating," Narcissa said, but was quickly distracted as Harry sucked on her clit causing her to shiver above him and press her hips down.
Bellatrix wrapped her hand around Harry's shaft, her slightly calloused yet soft hands gripping his length almost too hard, the pressure causing Harry to moan himself at the contact. She marvelled, stroking him in her hand watching the foreskin cover and uncover the mushroom head. Leaning down she inhaled the musky scent of arousal coming from him, noting it was mixed with Narcissa's arousal and even her own as she rubbed her thighs together unconsciously.
Tentatively she flicked out her tongue and gave the head a quick lick, the taste was slightly salty but it wasn't off putting, in fact she found that she liked the slight saltiness as she began to lick a bit more. Harry's appreciative sounds joined Narcissa's as he seemed to lick her with renewed vigour. Bellatrix changed up from her licking to gently sucking the tip, and the gradually moving more and more of Harry's cock into her mouth and throat. Her gag reflex kicked in when she got about half of his shaft in her mouth before she was forced to pull herself off to inhale copious amounts of air, having felt like she was barely able to breath.
"How the hell did Pol fit all this down her throat?" Stroking him with her saliva covering his length was a different experience for Bella, one she found she liked, a lot. Once she'd had enough air she outright shoved herself down as far as she could go, aiming to get more and more every time, determination on her face, the actions caused Harry to involuntarily thrust his hips up and ramming down her throat each time causing a gag, not that it deterred Bellatrix at all. At one point, Bellatrix unconsciously used her free hand to start fingering herself while she was devouring Harry's cock, her fingers smoothly sliding in and out of her own folds as she moaned upon Harry. The vibrations setting him off, throbbing in her mouth.
"Oh my! I'm cumming!" Narcissa shrieked, her entire body convulsing as she fell off of Harry to the side and onto the bed, her breath panting as she shook.
"Fuck that was so hot, hearing you lose it Cissy," Bella said stroking Harry still, his body moving automatically as his hips thrust in her hand.
"Bella!" Harry whined.
"Oh? Am I keeping you on edge?" She teased only to be met with a growl as in a swift motion, Harry had somehow freed himself of her grasp but also managed to throw Bellatrix onto the bed next to Narcissa, she landed with a yelp before Harry was upon her, his lips claiming her own as he pressed her down into the bed.
Her legs wrapped around his waist instinctively as her arms snaked themselves around his torso.
His hardened and saliva covered cock was now rubbing harshly against her moist centre as he dominated their kiss. Her right hand snaked between their bodies and gripped his cock as he rutted against her, then angled it and in one swift motion she felt her lips part as he speared into her. She winced against his lips as he broke her hymen, he paused noting it straight away his body freezing.
"Shit Bella, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to…" he began to apologise but she cut him off with her lips.
"Shut up and fuck me like you mean it Harry!" She growled into his mouth, moving her hips ignoring the slight pain and blood mixing with her saliva, her arousal and his own pre-cum.
Harry and Bella descended into sounds of moaning, groaning, hissing and bodies rutting against one another. She clawed at his back desperately, their mouths in a constant duel as her hips met his own trying to get him to hit the places that set her off. Narcissa, once she had recovered was now laying next to them, watching intently as Harry slid in and our of Bella, her hands were rubbing herself while she squeezed a breast. Feeling left out and leaned over and squeezed one of Bella's breasts roughly eliciting a gasp from her at her touch while Narcissa positioned herself with her breasts pressing into Harry's side as she leaned over placing her lips next to Harry's ear.
"Fuck her Harry, ruin my sister and I," she bit his ear, rolling his earlobe in her mouth he groaned and spasmed, slamming his hips down with force as he let out a growl.
"Oh fuck that feels so hot inside me!" Bella screamed as her eyes rolled back into her head and vision going blank as her body shook in orgasm, matching Harry's own, legs locking as her pussy milked him.
When Bella's eyes opened after her post orgasmic bliss, she heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh and her eyes adjusted to the side of Narcissa riding Harry, her back was to Bella and her hips were rolling giving her the view of Harry's cock spearing up into Narcissa with every roll of her hips. Bella moved to hug Narcissa from behind, her hands coming up to grope her sister's breasts as she placed kisses on Narcissa's neck, even biting her.
"He feels amazing doesn't he Cissy?"
"He does," she agreed with a moan.
They spent the rest of the night making love, Harry and the two Black sisters. The news of the Ministry of Magic falling would not reach them until the next day.
I appreciate you all! Especially the ones who signed up at the start!
