Somewhere: With Hydrus and Orchid
Hydrus wiggled in the stranger's embrace. He hated everything about this situation. Hydrus hated how warm she was, he hated how gentle she was being, he hated how she had hurt his family. But more than that, he hated himself. He hated his own weakness for allowing himself to be captured, he hated how his body craved the woman's touch, and he hated the strange feelings that swelled and bubbled within him.
"I have you now, baby boy. You're all mine now." Orchid cooed, still hugging the boy. Hydrus shook his head weakly, but he couldn't bring himself to separate himself from her. Orchid placed a finger under Hydrus's chin, tilting his head up, and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. Multicolored lights of ambient magic surrounded the pair as they kissed, their bodies, minds, and magic perfectly coalescing. Memories of each other's lives flashed through their mind's eye. A deep, undeniable sense of correctness and wholeness took root in the pair's very souls.
"What did you do to me?" Hydrus asked softly. He nuzzled and kissed her cheek, unable to control himself, his body and magic craving her. Orchid wasn't any better as she kissed the boy back, her hands roaming and relaxing his body.
"I didn't do anything to you, baby, and I swear that on the lives of my daughters. We have one hundred percent magical compatibility. The frequency at which we generate and release spirit particles as part of our magical signatures is exactly the same. Magically speaking, we're the same person. You can't deny it, Hydrus. We belong together." Orchid looked deep into the boy's eyes as she spoke.
"You belong with me." She reiterated. Hydrus gave a small whine as Orchid placed a kiss on his forehead. "My family. I belong with them, with my mum Bellatrix." He protested weakly. Orchid cupped his face, smiling fondly with adoration in her eyes. "You love them, and that's fine, but that doesn't change anything. You can love everyone in the world with all your heart, but your soul and your body will always be mine." Hydrus pursed his lips at Orchid's words, because he knew she was right, and he hated that.
"Why are you doing this? Kidnapping me and hurting my family and blowing up my home. Why?" He asked, trying to switch topics. Orchid pulled him into her lap and rested her chin atop his head, inhaling the scent of his magic.
"I'm a werewolf, baby, and so are my daughters and a majority of my house. All over the world, werewolves are persecuted and put to death, just because of what we are. There's no place that's safe for us. The Dark Lord and the death eaters completely conquered this country, the people here love them, and since you're the son of the Dark Lord, that makes you a prince. If I have you on my side, then I can create an all-werewolf society. A place where my daughters can grow up without worrying about being put down like rabid animals." Orchid explained, passion burning in her eyes.
"And the thought of just asking me for help never occurred to you?" Hydrus asked seriously. Orchid tightened her hug before answering.
"Your birth mother would never allow it first of all. Secondly, people don't want to be werewolves even if I figured out a way to control the transformation." She explained. Hydrus leaned into her, relaxing fully under her touch. "You couldn't enact this grand plan in a different, smaller country? With a bunch of super werewolves, you could have done it. You didn't need to hurt the people I love." He reasoned.
Orchid hesitated before she answered. "I saw an opportunity here and I went for it. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you, truly." Hydrus sighed, he knew Orchid was sorry, he could feel it.
"Then let me go. I'll talk to mum and whoever else you want me to, but please let me go." Hydrus pleaded. Orchid shook her head, however. "I can't do that, baby. The second I let you go my family will be killed and I can't let that happen."
"Let me help you. There must be some sort of compromise that everyone can come to." Hydrus begged. Orchid placed a kiss on the top of his head. "This is the only way, baby. I'll spare your family, I promise, so don't worry. Just leave everything to mommy." Orchid placed Hydrus back on the mattress and separated from him. The both of them instantly felt the loss of warmth and unity.
Hydrus tried getting to his feet, holding out his arms. "Please! Don't leave me!" He begged. Orchid shook her head, her eyes watering. "I'll be back soon, baby, I promise. There's no way I'm ever going to let you go. Mommy just has to go check on some things." She tried to explain. It was difficult to physically separate herself from her mate. Every cell in her body down to the soul level, wanted, needed, to be with Hydrus. And she knew the boy felt the same way.
"When I get back, we're going to breed. Mommy is going to make sure you fill her up with your delicious smelly cum. Just be patient, ok? Mommy will milk you every day." Orchid declared, drooling heavily. Hydrus kissed his mate heavily, licking at her drool with gusto. They moaned as their magic came together again.
"I love you." Orchid and Hydrus said at the same time. The boy tried to wrap his arms around Orchid but denied him. "I promise I'll milk you Hydrus, but it has to be later. Mommy needs to go now." Orchid panted, fighting back her beast instincts. Hydrus could only pout and whine as his mate blew him a kiss and left. Her absence left a small void in him.
Nott a House: With Orchid
Orchid made her way through the dark winding halls of Nott a House with impatience. Already, she could feel the void of her mate's absence starting to form. In all actuality, she had not expected to be completely magically compatible with Hydrus. While she was happy to have found the other half of her soul, it did complicate things. Their bond was still fresh, which meant for the time being, they would be completely codependent on each other's physical and magical presence for stability. Orchid would need to be even more careful as well. Losing a partner that shared complete compatibility was akin to suffering the Dementor's Kiss. Orchid definitely did not want for herself or Hydrus.
She needed to capture Bellatrix next. Orchid would have to give definitive proof of her compatibility with Hydrus, and there was no way Bellatrix would believe her until she saw with her own eyes. That's why she was here now. She knew how the other woman thought, Orchid knew her Dukes would be the perfect bait. Making her way down to the dungeons Orchid was caught off guard when she didn't see her prey wrapped in chains. In fact, there was no one in any of the cells.
Orchid frowned as she placed a finger to her telepathic earring, trying to get in contact. "Nathan, where is she? She's supposed to be here." Orchid inquired. A nasally voice answered her. "She never showed up Lady Parkinson. I've checked with Paul and she's not there either." The Duke of Nott said.
A spike of genuine fear shot through Orchid like a lightning bolt. If neither of her dukes had captured Bellatrix, then it meant she was moving unpredictably. She chewed her lip as she thought of a new plan. Orchid took a deep breath and refocused. She couldn't afford tunnel vision when it came to Bellatrix. Spinning on her heel, she disapparated back to her hideout.
Gringotts Meeting Room:
Bellatrix scowled heavily as she crossed off yet another property from the lists. She had come to Gringotts and demanded an assist list for House Nott and Bulstrode. Bellatrix utilized her own cadet houses, Burke and Macnair, to scope out the various businesses and private properties of her enemy. So far everything had come up empty.
She would need to do something drastic to draw out Orchid. But what? The other woman had covered her tracks well. Bellatrix fought back tears of frustration as she tried to hold it together. Storming out of the room, she bumped into a goblin. Snarling like an animal, Bellatrix whipped out her wand, the killing curse on her lips.
"Wait! I can help you find him!" The gravelly voice called out. Bellatrix glared evilly at the creature. "Well? Out with it!" She snapped.
"Your son is an official ward of House Lestrange. They have a way of knowing where all their members are at all times." The goblin quickly explained. Bellatrix looked down at the creature, suspicion in her eyes. "Why would a goblin help a witch? What do you have to gain from this?" She asked distrustfully. The goblin bared his fangs in response.
"Your ministry made it quite clear that the boy is our business. That demon, Antonin, killed my father and raped my sister. I'm not doing this for you or your blasted spawn, I'm doing this so I can protect what little family I have left." The goblin snarled out. Bellatrix tilted her head as she considered the goblin's words.
"What's your name?" She demanded.
"Bearan." He answered. Bellatrix grunted acknowledgement. "Tell me, how do I find my son?" She asked.
"A Blood Scrying Ritual. It would allow you to know where members of your bloodline are." Bearan explained. Bellatrix narrowed her eyes. "I've never heard of a ritual like that." She said, suspicion coloring her tone. Bearan clenched his fist, trying to control his temper. "That's because it's Lestrange proprietary magic. Wizards don't exactly advertise their secrets." He said bitterly.
"How long does it take to set up?" She asked. The goblin puffed his cheek as he thought. "Two, maybe three days. You'll need to be involved in the setup. It'll also require a rare gemstone, any should do, but higher quality tends to give better results."
Bellatrix sighed in frustration as she thought of her options. "I'll meet you back here in a few hours. There are some things I need to take care of. Also, this should go without saying, but if this fails, I will show the Goblin Nation what the devil really looks like." She threatened, before she stormed off, still in a severe mood.
Bearan let out a sigh of relief as the pressure of Bellatrix's presence lifted with her absence. He did not get paid enough for this.
"I fucking hate my job" He said to himself, leaving to prepare for the ritual.
Bellatrix made her way through Grimmauld, stopping to check on her family. "How are they?" She asked Andromeda. The brunette gave a slight nod of her head. "They'll be fine, some blood and some rest and they'll be right as rain. Have you found out anything?"
"Not yet, but I did learn something interesting. Hydrus is an official ward of House Lestrange. They have a secret ritual that lets them find members of their house. I need to prepare for the ritual, but I need you to do something in the meantime." Bellatrix said softly, so as not wake her resting family.
"Anything." Andromeda answered. "Go to Hogwarts and speak to Severus. Tell him we need access to the Book of Acceptance. Bring me anything you can find on the children of House Parkinson and their cadet branches." Bellatrix ordered.
"I will." Andromeda assured. "But you need to sleep and try to recover your energy."
"What I need is Hydrus. I won't rest until he's back in my arms." Bellatrix said angrily.
"How do you expect to help when you're exhausted? You're about to perform a ritual, aren't you? You need all the energy you can get. Sleep, Bellatrix, no arguments." Andromeda said firmly. Bellatrix glared at her sister defiantly.
"I'll wake you when I get back. Now go to bed." Andromeda repeated, unyielding. Bellatrix pursed her lips before she nodded, leaving to go lay down. Checking on Druella and Narcissa one more time, Andromeda disapparated.
Somewhere Else:
Orchid practically jogged through the twisting stone corridors of her hideout, the void inside her growing, threatening to send her into a state of endless depression. She had been separated from her mate for far too long. After she realized that Bellatrix wasn't going to fall for obvious bait, Orchid had to revise some of her plans. She had been overseeing an attack on House Avery. The Avery's had once been a cadet house to House Gaunt with the both of them sharing ties to Salazar Slytherin.
Attacking House Avery was a big deal and a massive show of force. Even with House Gaunt inactive for now, the Avery's were a large cadet house, with many of their members being prominent in high society. But no one anticipated having to fend off super werewolves, especially when the full moon was still so far away. Many of the members of House Avery had been bitten, spreading the unique Lunalight lycanthropic curse. Once their brainwashing was complete, Orchid would release them to go after her next target.
Houses Crabbe and Goyle. The cadet houses for House Malfoy. If she could weaken the Minister's powerbase before going after him, it would make transitioning the country into an all-werewolf society much easier.
Orchid came to a stop at a seemingly random section of wall, before it parted, revealing the spartan dorm room where Hydrus was being kept. The musky smell of semen invaded her sensitive nostrils, and tickled the beast part of her brain something fierce. She caught sight of the large, now empty flask, on the bedside table, and grinned wolfishly.
The purple blood that had once filled it was Fairy Blood. Just a few drops made for a powerful aphrodisiac, and Hydrus had drunk all of it. His face was beet red and his skin clammy as he used both hands to furiously jack off to no avail. The poor boy was stuck in an insatiable heat. The two met eyes, and for a moment they stared at each other, Hydrus breathing heavily and Orchid drooling.
They rushed each other, colliding right in the middle of the room, sending them crashing to the floor in a heap. The two mates kissed, bit, and scratched at each other in an animalistic rut. Ambient magic thrummed around the pair as they reunited. Simply being around each other again after a few hours was enough to send the pair into orgasmic bliss. Hydrus sprayed, blasting Orchid with spunk over and over again, like a continuous firework. She collapsed on top of him, her robes and pants completely ruined.
"I love you." They said in unison. Orchid nuzzled the boy, kissing him gently. "What do you call me?" She asked. "Mommy." Hydrus answered correctly. Orchid kissed him again, grinding her crotch against his. "And who do you belong to?" She questioned.
Despite the madness and lust that clouded his mind, Hydrus still averted his eyes. "My family." He said weakly, out of breath. He closed his eyes and cringed slightly, waiting for Orchid to punish him. As she cupped his face, Hydrus recoiled, expecting to be slapped. The blow never came however, and he opened his eyes warily.
"That's right. I'm your family now. I'm the only mommy you'll ever need. The only person you'll ever need. You belong with your family, you belong with me, Hydrus. I'll take good care of you." Orchid declared. She clung to him obsessively and her gaze territorial.
Orchid had been planning on sparing Bellatrix and the others, had promised it even. But she didn't swear on it. She had been blinded by her feelings of finding her literal soulmate. Her separation and reunion with Hydrus had put her human and beast brain in complete sync as she came to a single conclusion.
Bellatrix and the others would never give up trying to take her mate away from her. So, they had to die. Orchid licked her lips as Hydrus kissed at her jawline and neck, grinding himself against her. With a surprisingly steady arm, she drew her wand. A moment of lucidity made itself known through the mind-numbing pleasure she was experiencing.
"Look at me, baby. Look at mommy." Orchid purred out in a silky voice. The two made eye contact and Orchid whispered her spell.
"Legilemens."
Orchid's consciousness slipped into Hydrus's mind with embarrassing ease. The boy was barely a novice level occlumens, despite the fact Orchid knew he had a talent for psychic based magic. It wasn't entirely his fault. His teacher, Bellatrix, was a shoddy occlumens herself, and she refused to let anyone else teach her son the art. Orchid gave a mental smile at that, that selfishness was coming back to bite Bellatrix in the ass.
Completely unhindered, Orchid began to alter Hydrus's memories. Every single mention of Bellatrix was replaced with Orchid. Every touch, every positive feeling, every shared moment, Orchid put herself in place where Bellatrix should be. She didn't stop there though, Orchid replaced Narcissa and Andromeda with her daughters, Primrose and Pansy. She replaced Druella with her favorite cousin, Tulip Parkinson.
With her work done, Orchid retreated from the boy's mind, back into her own body. She watched Hydrus blink in confusion, before he gave her a big smile. "Hi mommy." He said warmly kissing her softly on the lips. Orchid kissed him right back, grinning. What she had done wasn't like the Dark Lord's or Amelia's rumored complete personality rewrite. It also didn't instantly take place like psychic surgery did. Memory alteration using legilimency took time to become permanent. Usually, a week or so. Orchid quickly began to take off her drenched robes, smiling like a lunatic. In only a week Hydrus would completely forget about his previous family and be hers forever, she just had to keep him busy until then, and take caution to not trigger any conflicting thoughts that might cause him to resist the alteration. Once he was hers Orchid could dedicate her time and resources to killing Bellatrix without causing her soulmate any emotional pain.
Orchid pressed her sizable breast in Hydrus's face. "What do you call me?" She asked. "Mommy." Hydrus answered, his voice muffled. "And who do you belong to, baby boy." Orchid purred out. "You, mommy. I belong to you." Hydrus said confidently. A deep hotness formed in her core at his words.
"That's right. Such a good boy. Now drink up, it's been much too long since you've had mommy's milk." Hydrus took both of Orchid's nipples in his mouth and began to suckle greedily as warm, sweet breast milk filled his mouth. He squeezed and kneaded Orchid's large chest as he drank his mother's milk.
Orchid let out howling laughter as wave after wave of ecstasy crashed through her. Just a few more days and her ultimate victory would be assured. She looked down at her son, her soulmate, with absolute love and adoration in her gaze. Orchid was never going to let him go, and once the few people that could challenge her were eliminated, she would introduce her son to the rest of his new family.
