Enjoy~
Harry succeeded distracting Severus during their chess games and both of them were thrilled into the competition. It had seems like for hours and neither of them has come to think much to do for the day.
By the time they last played, Severus won and Harry cleaned the game board to tidy up for the incoming guest. Once he set the board on the shelves, he turned around and saw his mate sadness easily exposed to him. He knew it has been nearly eight hours ago he punished him. Harry sat down next to his submissive and Severus was not in the mood to talk much.
"Your punishment is over now," Harry drew the wand from the pocket, "I expect next time you will ask for my permission."
Severus' eyes lifted and felt the suppression was released. He turned and saw his familiar wand at the available hands. Harry handed it over to his mate and the submissive accepted it without hesitating to ask. He had felt secured once more and everything in his control.
"I…thank you, Potter." He finally said it.
Harry smirked, "You're welcome. Now, Remus should be here soon. You can participate to learn new spells if you would like, it will take a couple of hours. Plus, it would lessen the protectiveness over you."
Severus was getting irritated with this 'protectiveness' from him. He was more than capable to do that himself!
"Potter, you defeated you-know-who, why bother need that necessity?" The potion master glared.
Harry's hand soothed the man's hair, "You forgot why you are forced to be here. That vampire we had come across has threatened to kill you and what he had in mind is not pleasant for either of us. He's slight powerful, but enough to overpower you to the point you would be dead within a minute."
Severus was cold on his cheeks and found this conversation was not an average one. He still displeased with being protective, but he hasn't realized the level of his supposed enemies.
"What if I was the one that had killed Bellatrix and he threatens to kill you because of my action, then what would be the circumstances?" His head tilted.
The menace chuckled escaped the Gryffindor's lips, "I'd kill him for attempt to accuse you, but probably privately since the children were around. However, you'd be able to do what you'd like to do, I would be more around and have to explain our situation of our mating business."
Severus huffed and found that no matter what, he'd be involved. Harry hasn't stopped playing his hair due to comfort, but the submissive had no choice in the matter.
"Wonderful," Sarcastically spoke.
Harry hummed, "Or you can sleep in now."
"I am not a child, Potter." He scowled.
The savior nodded once, "No, however, I can understand you do not like this situation and you are only pushing me away." His fingers brushed down the hair slowly for the sensitive fingertips' skin for silky hair.
The onyx glanced away, "It's the only choice I have, Potter. Obviously you're a dunderhead not to realize it." The emerald lightened up a bit, enjoying the conversation was heading.
Harry's emerald narrowed at his mate and stopped touching his hair, "Our mating bond is not against you, Severus. Our soul has recognized and complete with each other."
Harry pulled Severus into his arms, which caused the potion master to tense up, and tried to find a way to escape from this arm trap. The savior held him gently with care and his hand soothed the man's neck at the back. The hand slipped upward to his hair and drew down with soft care. Harry repeated it for a minute and leaned in to press his lips against the man's bare neck.
The onyx eyes shield away from the act and his body gave in. Harry observed carefully and inwardly smiling at the fact he would win his mate well. After all, a date…would be a proper courtship among their status. He pulled away and Severus felt withdrawn for his personal needs. He did not wish it to end, but his mind had quickly shoved it aside and denies it immediately. Harry pulled the man's hair back a bit.
"There is no reason to hide what you feel, Severus." He kissed the man's neck, "No one but me will know what goes on in this room. I can easily ask Remus to come later time. We could," He smirked and kissed his mate's cheek, "…have fun. We'd run wild and-" His voice transformed into a whisper now, "-feel refreshingly amazing."
It shivered down to Severus' spine to think of such…passionate. Everything was confusing to him and not a clue how to approach this properly. Harry was pleased and his hand released the man's silky hair. His hand trailed to the elder's thigh and rubbed the friction for the passionate heat on the spur moment. The potion master's cheeks turned extremely hot and couldn't ignore this. He was failing to resist this and slowly accepting, yet, the fear within him deeply was not allowing it.
"An all-night shag might be quite the fun, aside for myself. However, before we could…" Harry smirked, "…I can take you out onto a date and we can begin the process."
The dark savior quickly removed his hands to abandon his mate and Severus gasped at the absence he yearned for. His body betrayed him by launching onto his dominate mate without a thought to come crossing first. An immoral chortling escaped the Gryffindor's lips with the outcome chance.
"Ah," His long raven hair shook, "You state you have no interests in mating."
Severus somehow found himself guilty. He nearly pulled away and his emotions ran wild and withdrawn so easily, as he returned to hold onto his dominate mate. The questions grew onto him and Harry instantly recognized it no less. He held his submissive closely for support.
"I will listen and be quiet, if you'd like?" He decided to show Severus the former Harry he used to know.
The onyx eyes glanced away briefly and nodded once. His brows formed quickly and gave the tone helpful. It was an unusual circumstances to suddenly feel this way now, even for a mere few days, but he knew Harry for years…well, known him recognizably.
His curtain hair fell slightly forward, "I…am not used to this. No one treat me enough to extend this far and you have gone far enough to change it otherwise." The effort to speak this out was a struggle for the dear potion master, "Others were always constantly needing me for their needs."
Harry frowned, "Their needs?"
"For assistance on knowledge, potions, escape, support, guidance, or other necessary ways to survive." He sensed how concerned his dominate had entered into.
It was easier to breathe again for the savior, "Good. Continue, please," He petted the man's hair for comforts.
The action relaxed the professor no less, "Why should I be dragged into this mess? Why am I feeling this? Will others have to know of us?"
The professor finally relieved the buried questions into freedom feeling. Harry was pleased to see how it was helping and the dark side liked this form of domination over his submissive. This worked well, yet, could not promise the actual result for the later of the day. He had not stopped petting his mate, but it was drawing Severus closely to him without any resistance.
"I think we're meant to be because you deserve someone to love you right. It is natural to feel this way, but I can help you, if you let me, Severus. You know I can do anything for you with the power I have. For example, you wish me to revenge someone and I'd do it without asking or denying you." He kissed the man's hair, "Only Albus is allowed to know. For anyone else, it is up to you. I trust you what you'd like to have in your life."
The former death eater stared at the man-who-lived on a serious conversation among themselves. The answers were simple and at the same time, direct to the point. This balanced between the unsettled peace among the mates and the submissive had not accepted it entirely, but willingly.
"Do we must need to…shag tonight?" He frowned.
Harry smirked, "You know the answer, Severus."
Severus recalled the conversation earlier and nodded briefly. He settled down and relaxed into the man's arms. The dark savior chose this willingly, finding this was bringing their courtship relationship to improve slightly.
"Not tonight…I…not ready." The potion master whispered.
The emerald eyes lessen the darkness, "That is fine, Severus." His lips softly pressed the man's temple.
The onyx eyes glanced away nervously. He was not certain how to respond to such…affection touches toward his dominate. The dark savior allowed him to settled this on his own term and sensed his guest arrived. He leaned in closely to his mate.
"Remus is here. Will you let me invite him in?"
Severus knew there wasn't a way to avoid the particular person, yet, he knew the students needed a proper education for the Dark Art. Harry was rather an effective teacher towards his students and learning the importance of the courses. He sighed and nodded silently to answer nonetheless. The dominate mate accepted this otherwise and patted his mate's shoulders gently.
"I'd like it, if you'd join the lessons I'm showing Remus." Harry gathered up, walking over to the door without a rush.
Severus observed his mate and remained at the couch. The body heat they were sharing had made the potion master at unease for the departing in between them. The savior headed to the door and answered quickly. He grinned lightly and gestured him to enter through quickly. The werewolf understood without question and rushed in until he was in the secretive quarter. The young man closed the door before anyone could locate him within their sight range.
"It is great to see you once more again, Harry. I was worried for so long for my cub." The werewolf grinned and sniffed something in the air.
Harry knew how werewolves were and kept quiet. Severus didn't bother to explain or utter a single word in the matter. The man turned over to the potion master and nodded once.
"Mates, I see." The former Gryffindor stroked his chin and lastly, placed his hands into his pockets, "If I smell the scent correctly, soul twin mate forming here?"
The onyx eyes glanced up, "Precisely…but mutter this to anyone, I won't hesitate to ask him to kill you."
Remus eyed the man briefly and checked over to his 'cub'. He noticed the power has changed drastically from the last time he had seen the boy. Harry shrugged, knowing his mate was kidding and only proving he was still powerful either ways, and went along with him. The werewolf grinned and shook his head.
"You know I am not the one who bullied you. After all, I did get them into detention for acting out like that." He stated straight to the point.
That had comforted the man-who-lived, especially knowing his mate was well looked after before his time being. Severus didn't bother to speak another word and chose to go along with this for the moment.
"Remus, there is a spell you should be using from now on." Harry hummed.
The blond man turned around and sat down with the chair comfortably, "Is it for my protection, Harry? I do not see why I-"
His head shook and chuckled once, "-It is not protection. It is for your werewolf half. A spell that would and will allows your human-mind during the full moon duration."
The former Gryffindor frowned, "There isn't a spell that exist to happen like that."
Severus snorted, "Unfortunately, this spell is not known by the Magic Minister."
The man froze and could not breathe. He noticed something was not in the right manner, especially knowing the potion master tend to be sarcastic. He was uncertain how to react or approach this. This amused the savior no less, despite the fact no one knew he was fighting the dark side or into the dark side.
"The reasons why I want you here is more than to know what I want my students to learn in the lessons I plan. Everything in my lessons are not from the books nor what the ministry had approved of yet. Thus, one of the spells I designed will help your werewolf half during the full moon." His emerald eyes glistened as it darkened.
Remus' brow raised, "An absolute spell?"
"Yes, but the only thing the spell would do after its complete is drain your energy for a couple of hours. I created this spell with another one, who happened to be like you. He was willing at least, gave me information, and did some work on the design. However, I worked out the rest on my own." The dark emerald clued in the werewolf listening in carefully to each and single word.
Mr. Lupin nodded once, "What of the pain after the full moon?" His head tilted.
Harry smirked, "That's what the spell is doing, replacing it to drain energy. I am sure your mate will be delightful to play with you during the full moon and cater to you for a couple of hours."
Remus turned paled at the sound of anyone knowing his mate in session…but, he could see Harry somehow knew. The colors came out brightly red upon his cheeks and softly curled his lips.
"He does hate it, when he cannot hold me during the suffering time or being close to me."
Severus' brow raised, "I do not recall anyone being your current mate, Lupin."
Remus chuckled, "This has been rather recent…since the day before students came to the Hogwarts Express." His hand soothed his neck, "He wants to take things slowly, Lucius is rather a good dominating mate. I thought my werewolf would be the top, but apparently, it knows that he would not be able to carry."
Lucius…appeared on the potion master's thought. This was not something he was informs of. For the first time in his life, he was addled by such surprised. He glanced to his dominate mate, demanding for specific answers, and waited momentarily.
"Voldy had Lucius under a marriage charm. Once the dark mark was removed, he was free to himself. I recently found out he was bonding with Remus." Harry did not once dare to glance away from his submissive.
The man scowled, "You did not care enough to fit in this valuable information, Potter?" His onyx eyes narrowed, "You ought to know that I need to know everything."
If one thing, Harry would not draw himself closer to his mate since he was not comfortable with company. He knew the second option might be more…appropriate action. Remus exchanges glances between the men, uncertain how to remain civil in the matter, and knowing too well that Lucius felt the importance of his close friend Severus.
The emerald eyes did not dare to remove from his submissive, "As I told you, I was recently informed. Besides, wouldn't you prefer to hear it from him or his mate first?" His head tilted.
The potion master gaped, yet, ended it quickly as soon as he could. Remus noted that their relationship was not established or come to their conclusion, as he nodded once without disrupting them. The dark savior waited until there were words to form no less, especially to interact as much he could to learn more of his mate.
"You have a point…but at least tell me, or I will not let this continue." Severus held his chin up.
The emerald eyes rolled, knowing that threat was rather pointless due to the main point of their relationship.
"I will in the future time being." He stated, "Shall I demonstrate the spell, Remus? You can show this to Lucius, if you do not remember to use the spell before the start of the full moon. It can be used anytime, so it would help for others."
Remus hummed, Severus shrugged, and Harry drew out his wand quickly. The golden eyes remained the dark savior and observed this newly developed spell in his own discovery.
Harry swished to the right and swirled upward slowly. The werewolf nodded, grasping the important movement without a doubt, and pondering its pronunciation. Let alone its name.
"Versipellem esse!" The movement was followed through and exposed its light blue glow as it surrounded the werewolf himself.
There was the pulling in tightness, latches in at once, and the glow being absorbed through by the skins so eagerly, but slowly. Severus noted the function in this spell's doing and saw that it held its purpose. Unfortunately, the full moon was not occurring for another fifteen days.
"Do you feel the slight tightness?" The savior's eyebrow raised at Mr. Lupin cautiously.
The former Gryffindor man agreed, "Yes, is that good?"
Harry smirked, "Yes. As long you feel that, the spell is working. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to count on that spell's at work." He shrugged, "You just have to do is think of something important on your mind and cast it."
Remus grinned, "Merlin, I hadn't thought of something like this. Let alone to invent this."
The onyx eyes rolled, "Trust me, I was rather shock when he has various invented spells of his own." He said drily.
Harry shrugged, "Only about a hundred and three spells of my own."
They jerked their head to the savior…uncertain how to speak in such discoveries. They hadn't expected a single person to come up that much on their own. However, Severus suspected it was the inability to sleep for eternity impacted various free times on his hands. Yet, he knew he barely mustered that much during his last year of Hogwarts as a student. He managed up to ten for an average advanced student like himself.
The dark Gryffindor headed over to the kitchen and helped himself a cup of tea. He suspected his mate was not aware of his capabilities. Remus, on the other hand, was not aware of his incident few years ago. Harry began to teach the important spells to cover for the next two weeks and the previous past of what he had already taught.
A knut for thoughts?
