Previously:
Gingerly, Severus began to dress himself in one of Sirius' old robes. Sure, he owned many new and high-end robes but he loved his partner's old broken in robes; they were so comfy and he always felt a little sexy wearing Sirius' clothes. Not to forget that the Black heir loved seeing Severus in his old garments; his man was quite possessive but the Slytherin loved it.
With a deep breath he hefted himself out of the hospital cot and smoothed his clothes, stopping when he felt the crinkling of parchment inside one of the robe's inner pockets. Curious as to what it could be he withdrew a letter and examined it, almost losing his breath when he saw it was the letter he'd received from his grandfather when he went to Gringotts.
He wanted to slap himself! How had he forgotten it? Well he would just have to read it now then. Severus didn't think Orion or the others would mind waiting a minute or two. With a look of anticipation he opened the letter and began to read;
Severus;
My beloved grandson I must apologize for not being able to meet you on the day of your but I hope you will know that I love you. True, I do not know you yet but I know in my soul and magic you will be a credit to me and, most of importantly, yourself. My life is filled with things I would like to do over but alas no Time Turner was granted me.
My biggest regret was disowning your mother but I cannot change it. Once disownment is enacted it cannot be undone. Truthfully, I do not feel the need to assuage my guilt in terms of your mother Eileen was a stubborn girl. She never listened to me and did as she pleased, consorting with muggles and eventually becoming impregnated by one.
Tobias Snape was a piece of scum and the only thing that man did right in this world was to create you my child. I know living with him will not be easy or kind but I know you will be made of strong stuff and will survive. I hope once you read this you know you can come to me for anything, Severus.
You should be reading this when you're old enough to understand it; I do not know when that will be but it will most likely take place when you come to Gringotts on your eleventh birthday.
I will not try to contact you as your mother has made it clear she wants nothing to do with me or our world. But you my grandson will be the one to make the decision to speak to me or not after you read this.
I pray to Merlin that I will be alive to see you but if I do not know that I will always be proud of you, Severus. Do your best in all things and never let anyone stand in your way my little Potioneer.
Well enough with the serious stuff. Would you like to know a little about the Prince side of your lineage? I'm sure you do. Well we Princes are known for our skills in potions and healing; our family crest shows our strengths. The cauldron and snake are both symbolic of medicine and potions. We are almost always Slytherins and we prefer to watch the action instead of participating.
You, my child, come from good strong stock; the blood of the Malfoy's, Rosier's, Avery's and Gaunt's flows through your veins. I know you will do them proud in whatever you endeavor to do with your life.
But that is all for now. I look forward to speaking to you soon, my grandson. Until then know I love you and I will always be proud of you.
All my love and care.
Your Grandfather,
Lord Severus Michaelis Prince
Semper Fidelis Ad Nos; this is our motto, our creed. We are always faithful to ourselves; as a Prince we do not lie to ourselves or disillusion ourselves and in doing so we stay true to our soul and magic. Again I love you my child; be well.
By the time he was done the onyx eyed teen was teary eye and couldn't wait to get into Prince Manor so he could talk to this man who loved him. He just wished they could have met, he wished his grandfather had come for him and taken him way from his father's home. Why hadn't his mother never taken him to Gringotts and asked about his inheritance?
But it wouldn't do to go over the wishes and wants that didn't happen; he was in the here and now and it would not do to dwell. Slipping the parchment into his pocket Severus cleaned himself up and went to meet up with his love and family.
He had an appointment with his large bed at Number Twelve and it would not do to be late. He wondered if Sirius would be allowed to sleep with him that night. Hmmmm he would have to instruct his lover to sneak in once everyone was asleep.
*~*~*~*Chapter 11~*~*~*
The next day or two for Severus were painful but amazing for the formerly unloved Slytherin. He'd left Hogwarts for Number Twelve and Walburga's tender care; within a day he was back to being healthy but he was back on his potions for his body condition. Walburga was not taking any chances with her ward and everyone was on board with being cautious in regards to his somewhat fragile health.
Sirius had yet to leave his side except for meetings with his father and Regulus; the onyx eyed male had a feeling the Blacks were plotting something and Severus for one was anxious to see what the three men would cook up for Potter and any of his allies when they were found out.
No doubt his Slytherin friends, Peter and Lily were collecting any and all information about his attack and would relay it when they saw each other over Yule break. For the moment he would enjoy his time off from studying and cramming for his O.W.L.s at the end of term.
Not for the first time he pulled the letter given to him by the goblins and read his grandfather's loving words to him. Always be true to himself; well Severus could do that since it was something he had done all his life. No matter what happened Severus was always himself, even if being who he was got him ridiculed and pranked but even then the raven was proud of who and what he was. That pride was even more heartfelt now that he knew he had a proper family member who loved him aside from his mother.
HIs grandfather, his namesake, loved him even though he never met him and Severus could not wait to meet the man's portrait when he inherited Prince Manor on his seventeenth birthday. Sirius read the note when he snuck into his room their first night back at Number Twelve and all the other man did was hug Severus tightly and let the onyx eyed teen cry his heart out; not saying on word but giving all the comfort the battered Slytherin needed through his loving embrace.
But now he was feeling recovered and needed to keep himself occupied or he'd go stir crazy so he rose from the comfy chair in his room and went in search of his scheming family; finding them in the sitting room with a few other pureblood Lords. Severus stopped in his tracks when all eyes fell on him and he shifted somewhat nervously under so many powerful stares.
But his discomfort was not held for long when Sirius popped up and bounded over to him; that loving shining clearly showing in his grey eyes. "Severus, what are you doing out of your room? You should be resting" The onyx eyed snake just smirked at his overly concerned boyfriend; "Sirius, if I had to spend one more day holed up in my room I was going to go mad. Besides Walburga had deemed me fully healed from my assault and besides I am curious as to what is going on."
Sirius just huffed but calmed when Severus' usually blank dark eyes shown warmly at him, taking this as a sigh that everything was well the taller raven backed off and escorted the Prince heir to an open seat next to him. Orion watched his son and his ward carefully as did Walburga; any sign that Severus was fatigued in anyway and the teen would be back to room rest as they'd began to call it.
The Lord of House Black knew the boy was healed but he was still worried for the child. Too much had been endured for Severus to ever be truly completely healthy but with help from potions and better meals that Prince would live a good life full of love and happiness. However, the slender teen would always have too careful with his body and diet, too much exertion or neglect of his person could spell disaster for Severus.
It made Orion calm down when he remembered Severus was not seeking a career as an Auror or any equally dangerous fields. No, the child wanted to be a Potions Master and the Black Lord and Lady supported the teen's decision as true Masters were rare and from what they saw of the boy's grades and speaking to Slughorn Orion knew his ward was a prodigy in the art of Potions. That intuitive grasp would not be crushed via lack of funds nor support; from anyone, James Potter and Dumbledore be damned.
Severus shivered when he saw the dark smirk lighting up his caretaker's face; Orion truly looked half-mad and sadistic. The slender teen perked up and turned his full attention to Walburga when the woman poke; "Severus, I would like you to meet some close associates of ours. To my right are Lord Abraxas Malfoy and his heir Lucius. To you, Regulus' and Sirius' left are Lord Rodolph Lestrange and his heir Rodolphus."
"They have heard of your assault and came to offer their support in finding the culprits and exposing the blatant favoritism running rampant at Hogwarts. We all agree that your attack should have been deemed worthy for the Aurors to be called in and act investigated fully. Also, the fact the Headmaster did not do that and didn't' even deem to check up on you, the victim, does not sit well with any of us."
"That man has sat in power for too long. He ignores three quarters of the school while fawning over his precious few Gryffindors. It cannot and will not stand. We have gathered to strategize and plan. Our first salvo will be an interview with a reporter from the Prophet that is on our side. Once your attack and the subsequent sweeping under the rug by Dumbledore is exposed Orion, Abraxas and Rodolph will launch an offensive in the Hogwarts Board of Governors."
"Many people on the Board have children or grandchildren on Houses other than Gryffindor and will not be pleased that any student was assaulted so brutally and nothing was done. Do you have any opinions or thoughts to add Severus?" The Slytherin nodded his head; "Yes, I think we should send owls to both Peter and Lily to see if they have heard anything on the Gryffindor Common Room about my attack."
"Both of them have access to hear what James Potter has said and I have no doubt that Potter would not resist the chance to brag about what he did. If we can find proof that it was James, and not just justified suspicion, we can challenge his family in the courts. I want the people who did this to me humiliated and destroyed. What happened to me should not have happened at all!"
"Hogwarts should be safe for everyone no matter whom they are or where they come from. This sense and state of safety will never be achieved if Dumbledore continues to be the Headmaster; that man needs to be banished from the school before something even worse takes place within those walls." After he was done saying his piece Severus was breathing a bit harshly in anger and pain but calmed when Regulus and Sirius gave each of his clenched hands a squeeze, letting the onyx eyed teen know they were there for him.
Now calmed down the Slytherin turned and listened to the Lords and Lady speak about what was to come for Dumbledore and his lackeys. Tomorrow their trusted reporter would arrive at Grimmauld for an interview with Severus and Sirius. The slender raven wondered if now would be good time to announce his and Sirius' relationship to the masses of witches and wizards within Britain's borders.
They would be even more formidable together and besides the public would eat up the fact that Sirius was so enraged and angered by his partner's assault. Yes, the public were idiots but they could be useful in the right situations. HIs name being called let Severus know someone wanted his attention. He turned to stare at Abraxas Malfoy's deep grey eyes; "Yes, you mentioned a woman names Lily would this be the same Lily that will be here over break to learn the lore of Dark Magic?"
Severus nodded; "Indeed, Lily Evans will be staying at Number Twelve and learning under Walburga in Darker Magic's. She does not know much but she is an open minded witch that respects knowledge and would not turn her nose up at something purely because it is outside the norm of society's viewpoint."
The Malfoy Lord nodded; "Yes, I can see that about her. Lucius has spoken about her while he was attending Hogwarts; my son says she is an incredibly bright witch and that she is a credit to us even though she is muggle raised." Severus merely cocked his head to the side; "Lily is muggle raised but she is witch and she knows though she loved her family she belongs in the wizarding world and will do everything she can to assimilate into our world."
The Lords and Lady at the table nodded in respect for Lily's determination and desire to completely embrace who and what she was. Another interesting fact was that Lucius; cold, distant and sometimes cruel Lucius, had spoken about the fiery red head Lily Evans at all. It opened little doors in Severus' mind and made him start plotting a most advantageous match between his dear friend and Lily Marie Evans.
One look at Walburga showed the gears in her sharp mind were turning in the same direction as Severus'. It would be a good match to be sure. Lily was powerful for her lineage and intelligent, not to forget beautiful and sexy in a way that was not overdone or overstated. He may be gay but even he could see that his best friend was a catch; plain and simple.
Of course one could no neglect the fact that Lily would being new fresh blood and magic into the Malfoy line, giving any children a better chance of possessing strong magic that was slowly dying out due to inbreeding between close familial relations; Orion and Walburga were cousins and while Sirius and Regulus were magically strong if they wed a pureblood of close relation their children would be less powerful and the cycle would continue.
It was another reason why Sirius and his match was a good thing for their families. Not only did they love each other very much Severus was a halfblooded wizard and this would bring new blood into the Black and Prince line through their children. Purebloods placed high status on the production of children and Severus would admit he wanted several little ones to love. HE would not admit to anyone but Sirius but he would love to have a large family one day but they both had time before they came to that bridge.
However, he knew many people among the wizarding populace would be hesitant to believe that a pureblooded House would desire a muggle raised man or woman for their child but their concerns would be in vain. Purebloods wanted the best for their children and if a muggle raised, or half blood, would make their heir happy they would agree to it as long as the person of impure blood was worthy; as in they comported themselves in a manner respectful to Mother Magic and their traditions.
That was why muggle raised children were very rarely married into pureblooded families. Many young magical raised in the mundane world did not respect the culture and ways of their new world and in time those time honored traditions were being lost to them; not only that but the Old Ways were being outlawed through biased laws by Dumbledore and his band of cronies.
Caught up his thoughts Severus didn't notice the meeting ending until Sirius touched his hand while giving him a concerned look. The onyx eyed teen just gave his love a small smile; "I apologize Siri but I was lost in my mind." Grey eyes softened into warm silver pools of warmth; "Oh and what has my brilliant man so lost in his head? Me; perhaps?"
Severus just chuckled before flashing a coy grin and whispering a sly "Maybe" into Sirius' ear before he left the room to bid their guests goodbye, leaving his boyfriend in a right state of arousal and annoyance. IT was times like this that teenaged Slytherin loved his life, teasing Sirius was just too much fun sometimes but he knew his man would get him back for it and he could hardly wait to see what the Black heir had in store for him later.
It would surely be interesting to say the least.
~*~*~*Time Skip*~*~*~
Severus laid in his bed later that night thinking about what was to happen in the very near future; he would be meeting with a trusted reporter and give his story about the attack, or what he remembered about it. He would also be giving a bit of background about his experiences at Hogwarts; the bullying, the favoritism and above all else the blatant disregard given to Slytherin students.
It wasn't fair at all the a whole House, a whole group of kids was ostracized and ignored just because they possessed the qualities that Salazar Slytherin prized above all others. It was so stupid to think that just because Severus was a snake that he was only ambitious and cunning.
No, he was so much more than a simple Hogwarts House; he was proud of being a Slytherin but he also possessed several qualities belonging to other Houses; bravery to stand up for himself and his friends; loyalty to never, not once, think about leaving his friendship with Lily just because their friendship wasn't received well but everyone and the intelligence that would make any Claw jealous.
He was a summation of all the traits that belonged to each Hogwarts' House but he just embodies Salazar's more than the others. Severus would bet it was the same for a lot of the kids at Hogwarts. It was narrow-minded to think that just because he was a snake that he was evil or a murderous Dark wizard. Oh he was a growing Dark wizard but he was neither evil nor murderous.
He would use Dark magic carefully and with the proper respect it deserved to be practiced with. However, just this fact would make many in the magical world hate him, fear him and above all else hate him. Such simpleminded fools they were; nothing is black and white in life.
The world they lived in needed to change. The people in power needed to be more compromising and flexible in their laws and directives. Also, they needed to actually investigate what; was they were passing instead of following people like Dumbledore. They needed to start thinking for themselves not following like a bunch of zombified sheep; zombie sheeple...now that was a little disturbing.
With a huff he shifted in his large bed and tried to make his mind shut up but the thoughts kept coming one after the other. The past months all flew by his mind's eyes; only through his burgeoning Occlumency shields did he manage to make sense of the scenes flying by him. So many pictured happy times between him and his friends, not to mention quite a few of him and Sirius snogging or caressing reach other.
Merlin he was so screwed when it came to the eldest Black son. Severus quite plainly adored him and was thankful they were given the chance to get to know each other. Sirius was Morgana sent and when he was with the tall teen Severus felt safe, like no one and nothing could hurt him. When he saw his partner after his assault he immediately calmed and knew somehow that Sirius would make it okay.
It was a feeling so foreign to him but now that Severus had this amazing feeling he never wanted to lose it and would fight to his last to keep it. Most undoubtedly the Black heir was the end for Severus and he could not wait to see where they would go in the future.
With one last happy thought the Prince heir began to drift into sleep, feeling content and peaceful with his life and situation. The sound of footsteps entering his room brought Severus out of his pre-sleep haze almost immediately and he sat up quickly, going for his wand under his pillow. He knew no one could or would hurt him here but old habits die hard when in the past the only reason his father came into his room at Spinner's End was to hurt him.
A soft soothing voice called from the darkness around Severus' bed; "Shhh Sev. It's all right baby it's just me." The ebony eyes teen relaxed quickly once he realized it was just Sirius creeping into his room. With a sigh he stowed his wand back under the pillows and laid down, snuggling into his love's side when the other teen crawled onto the bed and under the covers.
"You alright, baby?" Severus merely nodded, nuzzling Sirius' neck before replying verbally; "I'm okay, just forgot where I was for a minute is all." His boyfriend held him closer and with barely restrained anger his spoke; "No one will ever hurt you again, Severus. No one in this house will allow you to be harmed in any way again. Merlin, I would love to strangle you father. Using magic to end him would be too good for the bastard!"
Severus let his lover rant in a scathing hissing whisper, feeling warmed once again by the love and acceptance given to him by the Black family; hell all of his friends were being amazing and he was fortunate that his situation had changed for the better. He knew there were others like him who would not escape their parents' abuse until they were of age and that bothered him.
Maybe he should speak to Orion and Walburga about it? Surely there were other muggle raised magicals whose home life wasn't up to par? If he could shed some light on their plight if even a little it would be worth it to him in the end. If he shared his past with the reporter maybe the Wizengamot or the Ministry would take a closer look on how the managed muggle raised kids. It had merit; he would speak to his caretakers at breakfast tomorrow.
With a sigh he snuggled deeper into Sirius' side, while a hand snuck out and began to stroke the muscled skin of his partner's abdomen. He liked that Sirius didn't wear a shirt to bed when he slept with him; Severus loved the feeling of his lover's warm skin against his body.
A shudder raised through the teen next to him before in lightning quick movements Sirius had the shifted; Severus looked up at the shadowed from of his boyfriend before he felt a breath freshening charm being cast on his mouth and Sirius' lips descended on his. With another shuddering sigh the onyx eyed male gave into the kiss, twining his tongue with Sirius as the elder of the two began to move his hand under his night robe.
That large warm hand stoked and caressed Severus' slender side and without much preamble slipped into his pants, palming his awakening length until his cock filled out completely. When air became an issue for both they broke apart but remained close, sharing breath as they panted.
Severus finally broke out of his kiss induced stupor and began to participate, moving his slender hand until it was inside Sirius' sleep pants and grasping his lover's hard shaft. Together they began to move, their hands gliding over hard flesh as their hips rolled, clashing against each other in a dance of heated skin and breath.
The slender Slytherin was in heaven and wanted to bring his partner to where he was and threw himself into pleasuring Sirius with his nimble fingers, swiping hid thumb of his partner's cock head, moaning lowly when Sirius released a growl for his efforts. Not to be outdone the elder began to twist his hand on every down stroke, wringing more pleasure and pre-cum out of Severus' already overwhelmed body.
Morgana this was amazing and he couldn't imagine doing either anyone other than Sirius. He could feel his orgasm approaching, bearing down on him from all sides and with one more lunge forward he sealed his lover's mouth in a frenzied kiss to muffle his progressively louder moans. Almost mindlessly he fucked the talented hand that stroked him as his thin hips all but spasmed as he came.
Sirius returned the kiss brutally, almost raping Severus' pliant mouth as he thrust his hips down, pinning his cock against the younger's hip as he rutted, growling ferally as his body stilled and his cock exploded, showering Severus' hand and his sleep pants in his cum.
Together they remained, exchanging chaste kisses as they came down from their peaks. It wasn't until they removed their hands that they realized they were covered in cum and sweat. With little preamble Sirius grabbed his wand from the bed and cast several charms; a freshening charm on the room and bed, a cleansing charm for their hands and pajamas.
Once they were clean and sated the two teens curled around each other and happily drifted into sleep.
I know I know this chapter is mostly filler but I need to set up scene for the coming chapters. The interview, the meeting of the minds over Christmas and maybe an appearance by our dearest Dark Lord. My pairing aside from Siri and Sev are up in the air but I am thinking about a Lucius/Lily pairing and maybe a Voldemort/Peter pairing.
I know the Dark Lord and Pettigrew! But in my fic they will balance each other out. I think that if Peter was ever plainly accepted for the soft soul that he was he would have turned out a nit different. In canon he tried to fit in with the Marauders and never quite manages and though they accepted him into the group Peter was always a bit of a tag-a-long in the Marauder mix.
By having Sirius and by extension Lily, Regulus and the others accept him Peter will be able to explore his softer side. I'm making him fluffy on the outside but with a steel core on the inside.
BUT I GAVE YOU SMUT! So we're even riiiight! ; )It was very sweet and subdued compared to what I usually dish out but I don't think Severus is ready for dildos, but plugs and double penetration just yet but have no fear our other characters won't be so hesitant. I always thought Regulus would be quite good cast as a gentleman in the street but a whore under the sheets.
Yup, Reggie will be quite the little adventurer and with Bella out of the way in St. Mungo's welllll let's just say the Lestrange boys are up for grabs! Yummy three-way loving people! How awesome is that!? VERY!
Anywho, I hope you enjoyed this short update. Have patience with me while I update my other fics but life is insane right now; work, family and friends have me running a mile a minute!
As Always All Mistakes Are My Own!
