The Bonds That Tie
It was no secret to those sitting in the main room why Harry dragged Severus away to feed. It wasn't the feeding that Harry didn't want public, it was how strong the arousal was going to run between the two of them when Harry fed. Harry had drank from Draco more than enough times for everyone to see that Harry didn't get worked up with him, even back when Draco had virgin blood. Harry was still drawn to Severus in more than one way. Of course, no one said a word lest not wanting to invoke the vampire's wrath; they all knew better after Harry's admittance over the Christmas holiday the level of desire he had when it came to Severus's blood. Sure, this would probably change when Severus became a vampire himself, but the arousal between bonded mates would forever remain. Also, Harry made his intentions quite clear before Severus went willingly with him. No one minded, or cared. It's not like the two were bothering anyone with what was clearly going on just a floor above, but the group was sure Harry had ensure no sound would leave the room itself, as well as ensuring they could not be interrupted. After all, by their count, Harry and Severus hadn't had full blown sex since Christmas holiday. It had been about four months since then.
"Is this wise, to let Harry bring in others?" Rabastan asked in the silence.
"If this goal is to be achieved, we need allies. Yes, I have my death eaters…But the reputation they have as well as my own doesn't ensure to the people that we're not out to hurt them. We need Harry and whatever allies he can gather to his side to swing the vote. Those affected by what I've done in the past forgiving me, working alongside…That will make the difference." Voldemort informed. "I trust Harry's judgement and plan."
"Should we also go out to find followers?" Rodolphus questioned.
"I'll bring it up with Harry next time we speak. I have the goal in mind, but it's his plan. As he mentioned; this has to be done carefully with Dumbledore revealed first…We don't want a lot of attention on us." Voldemort reminded. "For now, send word to the others to just keep eyes and ears open for anything else that can be used against Dumbledore."
"Yes, my lord," The two Lestrange brothers replied.
. . .
Upstairs, Harry had Severus pinned to the door of his room. Their bodies pressed together as Harry was holding Severus's two arms up and over his head with only one hand. The potions master was powerless to fight the teenager off. Harry's vampire strength was like breaking through cement with bare hands. Severus knew Harry picked up on his arousal during the mini meeting in the main room, their bond or Harry's incredible sense of smell gave him away. After they'd been making out for fifteen minutes Harry easily moved Severus over to his bed and released his hands while crawling over him, straddling the man's lower half. Harry broke the kiss and only pulled back far enough to stare into the man's eyes.
"Do you want this?" Harry asked.
"I'm not putting up much of a fight, Harry…" Severus replied.
"No. I want a real answer, Severus. Last time was me driven by needing blood and basically seduced by the scent of yours…You only nodded because I overpowered you. I have not forgotten what you said back in December. I'm not desperate for blood right now, I'm acting purely on what I felt was mutual desire through our bond." Harry informed. "If we're doing this, I want to hear it from you that it's what you want. If it is not, I'll feed and back off." He paused. "So I ask again…Do you want this?"
Severus was staring into Harry's green eyes before he brought his hands up to caress the vampire's face. "Yes." Severus said. "Yes, I want this, Harry. I want you." The older male responded with no hesitation.
Harry needed nothing else than Severus wrapping and arm around Harry's neck and pulling him back down, initiating the kiss between them this time. Harry kissed the man fully in return, making it passionate once more with their tongues dancing. Severus eventually moved his hands to Harry's front and then lowered them to try and yank the boy's shirt up and untuck it. Harry didn't stop him, but adjusted so Severus could get at the buttons to undo them and open the shirt up so Harry could completely remove and toss it somewhere. Harry started work the buttons on Severus's outer jacket before scooching himself down to have more fun with it. Severus tilted his head downward to watch Harry take a button into his mouth and yank it off with his teeth. The potions master blushed furiously, but said nothing; he'd just repair it like last time. It was also kind of arousing to see Harry playfully remove his clothes, Harry didn't stop at the outer jacket because with each place that opened up, Harry also used a claw to cut the strands holding the inner shirt buttons.
The vampire carefully pulled Severus up to pull the articles from the older male's body. Harry kept Severus in the sitting up position as he went in to assault the man's neck with his lips and tongue until he found the place from last feeding and bit down. Severus moaned, grabbing onto Harry's sides to keep himself balanced while the teenager fed. Harry felt Severus's hips moving to grind against Harry, the arousal getting beginning to take over.
"Ha-Harry…Please…" Severus pleaded.
Harry withdrew his fangs and licked the place to stop the bleeding before he grabbed Severus's wrists gently and pinned them above the man's head before leaning in. Severus saw the red starting to show, but said nothing as Harry kissed him again. The vampire rocked his hips against Severus's making the potions master moan into Harry's mouth. Eventually, Harry let go of Severus's hands to get lower and work the man's pants off, then his own, now leaving the two completely nude. Harry broke the kiss to scoot down and take hold of Severus's throbbing length and run his thumb over the precum leaking out, then use that to slightly lube up the shaft while he stroked up and down. Severus threw his head back slowly, enjoying the feeling until Harry decided to lower his mouth and start sucking, while minding his fangs.
"Oh god," The older man breathed out, his body entirely relaxing on the bed.
Harry swirled his tongue around and bobbed his head up and down while continuing to stroke for a little bit until he ensured his claws were shrunk back to normal nails, then wordlessly and wandlessly cast a lubrication charm in his free hand while balancing on his knees. Severus didn't even flinch when Harry's lubed fingers found their way to his ass and slid between the cheeks. Severus adjusted his legs to up and bent to give Harry more access, which then let Harry start working the lube around the entrance and massaging it to relax. Severus already knew to watch his breathing and stay relaxed or it would hurt. The vampire finally slipped a finger inside as Severus gripped the blanket beneath his body and tensed a moment.
"Ssh…Breathe, love…" Harry reminded. Severus knew this, but it was only his second time. It was odd to feel shy, but Harry probably suspected and felt how Severus felt. Harry didn't start pumping his finger until he was sure Severus had unclenched, and the first movement made Severus moan. Harry smiled and worked his finger in and out at a steady pace, then went back to sucking the man's cock lightly.
"Harry…" Severus panted. "M-More…" Harry was happy to oblige and on his next finger thrust inside, he added a second finger to make Severus moan out. Harry began moving them right away and Severus was trying to work his legs apart farther.
"I can make it better if you want deeper…" Harry offered. Severus only nodded to him as the vampire pulled his fingers out and sat back. "Turn around, on your hands and knees." Severus flushed a little, but he did tell Harry he wanted more and agreed to the teenager's suggested of making it better and deeper. Severus looked over his shoulder as Harry leaned forward to capture the man's lips quickly, then pulled back and smiled lightly. "Trust me…"
Severus nodded as Harry pressed gentle, but loving kissed down the man's back the brought his fingers up Severus's legs and butt cheeks. Harry slipped his fingers back inside the older man slow, drawing out the pleasure and Severus moaned softly, his head bowed. Harry set one hand on Severus's hip and began to pump his fingers in and out, paying special mind to the place that sent the wave of pleasure though his bonded; he'd read about G-Spots and that males had ones just inside the ass, shaped like a walnut. Harry didn't focus on it last time because he was too lost to the bloodlust, but setting was wanted by both, and taken much slower. Harry would refresh that shock of pleasure every few thrusts inside with his fingers.
"Harry! Oh, god…H-Harder, faster!..."
Harry began to move his two fingers harder and faster, as requested, and subsequently, deeper too. Severus had lowered his top half, face against the pillow, moaning out at the incredible feeling he was getting. Harry kept this up for a little while before he used his free hand to lube up his own length and hold it in place at Severus's entrance. "Ready, love?" Harry asked softly. Severus nodded to Harry, still trying to catch his breath. "Or do you need a minute to calm down?"
"N-No, I'm alright, Harry…" Severus assured. "Please?"
Harry withdrew his fingers and his cock replaced them. Severus only hissed once, but worked to stay relaxed as Harry pushed in steadily. Severus moaned when they became flush with one another. Both hands on the man's shoulders, Harry got the nod of going ahead with moving from his soon to be mate and started to rock his hips back and forth slowly. "Doing alright?" Harry questioned.
"Fe-Feels good…" Severus told him.
Harry smiled and kept his pace and force slow to start, using his hands to massage the potion master. Severus always seemed stuff and Harry just wanted him to relax entirely, forgot about everything going on in the world. Allow himself some leeway to enjoy life. Harry felt like this helped, and since they'd come together in acceptance of the situation; that helped too. Severus could let his guard down with Harry, somehow knowing the teenaged vampire would always be there to keep him safe. Harry picked up pace after a few minutes, running his hands up and down the man's back and broad shoulders, eventually stopping on the older male's hips to go in fully with his thrusts.
Harry moaned softly. "Oh, Severus…"
It made Severus happy to know Harry was enjoying this too; it was so much better with how connected they were through the bond now. Everything felt at its max, but this was likely just the acceptance of knowing they were bonded and things were willing. Severus suspected that things would feel very intense when he was a vampire and they mated fully. Oddly, he was looking forward to it. Severus never thought he'd admit to such, but he truly was looking forward to a lifetime with Harry in a peaceful world that they were working to create with the others. For once in his life, things felt amazing and his heart was slowly starting to open up and the walls around it falling.
In their lovemaking, Harry eventually pulled Severus down next to him as they laid next to one another. The vampire was easily able to thrust from behind while holding Severus tightly, then making it just a little better moments later by using one arm to lift the man's leg. This didn't go on too long as Harry went back to having Severus on his back, but legs held by Harry's arms and the pushed up to his chest. At some point, because Severus lost track of time, the potions master was surprised when Harry lifted him and pressed his back against the wall. It shouldn't have shocked him, Harry was very strong as a vampire, but just hadn't assumed the boy would be so bold. It didn't last too long and when they returned to the bed, Harry laid back and let Severus ride him for a little while before flipping the man back down and pressing their bodies together as they made out and Harry kept up his thrusting until both of them were at their limits.
"Harry…I'm-," Harry had silenced Severus's next set of words with his lips, already knowing. Severus moaned against Harry's mouth as the man gripped onto the vampire tightly and his back arched. Harry felt Severus release with a cry of pleasure, breaking the kiss to moan out. "Harry!"
Harry was right behind with cumming on his next thrust inside. "Sev!" Harry groaned.
Pleasure washed over both of them, leaving Severus breathing deeply and Harry only imitating the need to breathe because it truly let him feel his humanity. He did breathe hard, but it wasn't necessary. The two made out heavily while calming down and Harry pulled out, casting a cleaning spell on them both before the vampire got off the man and simply laid beside him. Harry wrapped his arm around Severus's midsection and gave the man a gentle kiss before summoning the blanket over them.
"Surely you can't expect me to go to bed now, Harry…It's two in the afternoon." Severus stated.
"Of course not, but rest," Harry suggested. "You're tired."
"If I sleep now, I won't sleep tonight," Severus told him.
"I can always tire you out again." Harry chuckled. "Sleep. I'll make sure you don't sleep too late."
"Promise?" Severus asked.
"On my heart." Harry assured.
"Okay," Severus gave into his future mate's request. The man finally closed his eyes and let tiredness take him to sleep.
Harry laid there a while, holding his intended close. Seeing the man peaceful was a nice sight to see him relaxed and Harry smiled. Things were going to be okay. Harry relaxed fully, closing his eyes. Not that he'd sleep, but he could pretend for a bit. No one would be bothering them as the door was warded from being opened without Harry allowing it. Today had been great, things were finally looking up and that made Harry happy.
. . .
Harry had spent the last two days just enjoying vacation. Regretfully, the students would be returning to Hogwarts on Sunday night and start classes once more on Monday. Harry was relaxing at the Malfoy's house, spending time with Draco and his usual group of Slytherin friends while working on the plan to alert those of Dumbledore's Army about an emergency meeting at Tom's old muggle home. It was vacant, and Harry just needed to be there once to create the portkey into the coin. Severus had to go out for an Order meeting at Grimmauld, Harry finally allowed Albus back there as long as he didn't start his nonsense again. It was a farce really, Harry just wanted all eyes and ears on him and since no one knew about Sirius's picture being enchanted but Remus, Harry always knew what was happening. However, from what Harry picked up, only some of the Order had gone to Hog's Head while the other half was at Grimmauld. Right now, Harry was sitting with friends and the usual group who hung at the manor. Given there was an Order meeting, Harry knew Severus would return with information and Voldemort would call a meeting to be updated.
"Harry, sweetheart…Are you alright?" Narcissa inquired at random.
"Fine, why?" Harry replied.
"You just seem…Very on edge, like you're waiting for something to happen." Narcissa mentioned.
"I'm always on edge, Mrs. Malfoy. Unfortunately. With how things in my life have gone, I'm always expecting something bad to happen." Harry answered honestly.
"I suppose that's fair reasoning." Lucius agreed.
A second later, the fireplace flashed green and everyone expected Severus to come through, but it was Ron and Hermione's faces in the fireplace. Harry instantly put up a shield to protect his former friends from seeing anyone but Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, and the other Slytherin friends. Harry gave them a look that said be quiet.
"What do you want?" Harry asked.
"Harry, please…We know things aren't good with us right now," Hermione started.
"Understatement," Harry folded his arms.
"Harry, Fred and George had us patched into the meeting with the senior Order meeting at the pub secretly. They're trying to keep it from you, but Remus has been taken prisoner by some death eaters. He got caught on his mission to figure out where their base is. He hasn't checked in for days, but Dumbledore has said he got an alert Remus was in danger." Ron informed.
"What?..." Harry seemed to freeze.
"We knew they weren't gonna tell you and…-" Hermione admitted.
"Why hasn't the Order been dispatched to find him?" Harry asked, tone going cold.
"They were, a week ago, mate. But they have no leads and Dumbledore is preparing to call him as good as dead and the searches are called off to not lose anyone else." Ron mentioned.
"We'll try to keep you updated." Hermione added.
"They're just gonna give up on him?! Where was he last seen?" Harry demanded.
"W-We don't know, Harry." Ron said.
"Then you're of no further use to me." Harry remarked as he banished them from the fireplace and lowered the barrier. "Call your death eaters…Now." He told Voldemort.
Not daring to refuse the very angry vampire, first sign being the instant blood red eyes, Voldemort pressed his wand to the mark on Bellatrix's waiting arm. It took seconds for the death eaters to swarm in, including Severus.
"Yes, my lord?" The death eaters all bowed to Voldemort.
"Harry? What's wrong? I felt your anger spike…" Severus walked up to the vampire.
"Severus, don't touch me right now…I don't want to hurt you by mistake." Harry warned as Severus took a few steps back. "Which one of you has Remus locked up as prisoner?"
"Harry…" Severus tried.
"Did you know?" Harry glanced at him. "Tell me, Severus…Did you know Remus was missing. You swore to me no more secrets…"
"Harry, I swear on our bond…I only just found at when I went tonight's meeting. As soon as Albus ended the meeting, I was coming right back here to tell you and promise that against the man's orders, I would search for him. I know how much he means to you. I swear, I did not know prior to tonight." Severus vowed.
"I believe you," Harry remarked.
"How…Did you find out?" Severus asked.
"The Weasley twins patched the Junior Order members into a floo call and then Ron and Hermione contacted the manor to let me know Remus has been missing for a week, captured, and Dumbledore is calling off the search." Harry looked back at the death eaters. "Now, I want a response…Understand if you're holding back information, or lie…You'll meet Pettigrew's fate in a much more painful way. This I promise you…" He paused. "Who took Remus and where is he?"
"Answer him." Voldemort ordered. "I specifically said we're keeping a low profile…"
"My lord…None of us went against that order." Corban stated as the others nodded.
Harry eyed each of them, breaking into their minds and seeing for himself. Their lucky break, all were telling the truth. "Very well then…" Harry closed his eyes.
"Ha-Harry…What are you gonna do?" Draco asked.
"I believe you know the answer without me having to say it." Harry vanished from his place.
"Where did he go? Draco?" Lucius looked to his son.
"Harry's going to find Remus himself and then…I wouldn't put it past him to kill those responsible." Draco said softly.
"Harry isn't a killer…" Severus said.
"Not of the innocent, Uncle Severus…But he'll absolutely go after someone who hurts the people he cares about. You heard him, he threatened death to our allies here if anyone was involved and held back information or lied. He killed Pettigrew." Draco reminded. "It was in his eyes. Harry is going to rain hell on earth on whoever was bold and stupid enough to take Remus…He told me once before that I was family and he'd kill for me. How much damage you think Harry will do for someone hurting Remus and taking him hostage?" No one could deny it. "That cold, calm demeanor…That's silent rage. We all theorized Harry being actually mad. This is that. He's pissed."
