Inside the Atlas Ward: With Bellatrix and Hydrus
Bellatrix stifled her laughter as she helped Hydrus to his feet. "It's not that funny." Hydrus said grumpily. She ruffled his hair and pecked him on the forehead. "Come, let's sit back down. Tell me where you think you went wrong." Bellatrix guided her son back to the table where they had begun their lesson. The boy tilted his head, a pondering expression on his face. "I know I said the spell right, and I did have the intention to light my wand up. So maybe I overpowered it? If my intent and power don't match up, then I guess the spell fails." Before Bellatrix could confirm his theory, Hydrus waved his wand once more and said, "Lumos!". Sure enough, the tip of his wand lit up with the same bright light that Bellatrix had demonstrated earlier.
"Hey look at that! I did it." Hydrus turned to look at his mother and she met his gaze radiating pride and warmth. "Well done. I admit, I didn't quite expect you to learn so quickly. But learning a spell and mastering it are two different things. For your next exercise, I want you to try charming some of these feathers to glow. Once you can do that we'll begin working on silent casting" She instructed. Hydrus gave her a determined nod before turning to stare at the feathers. Surprisingly enough, the boy did not jump right into waving his wand, but actually thinking on how he would accomplish his task.
"What's the difference between charming space and charming an object? Mum didn't give me a different incantation so that must be the same. I guess it has to come down to a change in my intent. If my intent changes, then so does the ratio of power. But how do I balance the two? If I focus too much on power the spell backfires. Do I focus more on my intent instead then? If I learn more in that direction, will my magic compensate for the difference? Only one way to find out, I guess." Returning from his thoughts, Hydrus once again picked up his wand and pointed it at one of the feathers. "I'm going to make this feather glow." He repeated the thought over and over again, focusing on what he intended his magic to do. "Lumos!" The results were mixed. The spot where he had pointed his wand glowed intensely, but the rest of the feather remained mundane.
"Oops, my fault, I should have told you that when charming an object, you have to-" Bellatrix began, before Hydrus quickly shook his head at her. "Don't tell me! I can figure this out." She raised an eyebrow, but fell silent, nonetheless. The boy stared at the feather a bit more, in deep thought. Bellatrix watched as he picked up his wand and repeated the charm, only this time he dragged his wand along the length of the feather, repeating the incantation over and over again.
"Tada!" Hydrus presented the glowing, its light pulsating and giving off waves of its outline. Bellatrix took the thing gently, her eyes wide with amazement. She had fully expected her love to be talented, but this was something else entirely. Charming objects wasn't nearly as advanced and complicated as enchanting, but learning to charm an object usually wasn't something taught until third year. For Hydrus to figure out how to do it all on his own, and do it effortlessly, with no previous magical instruction, was a bit mind boggling. She could wonder at the extent of his talent later though. Right now, Bellatrix needed to properly congratulate him on exceeding her expectations.
"Very well done, Hydrus! Charming an object, even with a lighting charm, is well above beginner level. I'm very proud of you." Bellatrix purred, and pulled him into her bare chest, smothering him. She could feel the praise she gave him go right to his dick. Bellatrix grinned, determined to get him even more excited. "You're so smart and talented, my love. And you're all mine. You belong with mummy, isn't that right, my Hydrus?" Bellatrix whispered into his ear, her voice tinged with possessiveness and lust. Due to their proximity, she could actually feel his heart start to race, and his breathing became labored, as he nuzzled himself into her bosom, trying to get even closer to her.
"Mummy, I love you so much." He gasped out, slightly muffled due to his face being buried in her tits. Bellatrix couldn't help the extremely smug smile that came to her face as she continued to hug her son, petting the back of his head. "I saw how you looked at your toys, Hydrus. Do you love them more than me?" She asked, purposely feigning hurt. Bellatrix stuck her bottom lip out and willed her eyes to tear up as Hydrus looked at with the most serious expression she had seen from him.
"I mean it. No one else makes me feel like you do. I feel like I can talk to you about anything. I love how you take care of me, and I love how you can be serious when it comes to teaching me. I love that you don't judge me for growing up around filthy muggles. I love that we share being vampires together, and I love how you hold and kiss me. You're my mum, my wife, my soulmate, and my best friend all in one. No one can replace you."
Bellatrix smiled down at Hydrus and let out a few tears as he confessed his love for her, some of them actually being genuine. "You're such a good boy Hydrus. How about this? We'll take a break, have a snack, and get back to the lesson, ok?" She captured his lips in a kiss, sucking on his tongue just a bit before pulling back. While she may have shown Hydrus some tears, on the inside it took all of Bellatrix's mental fortitude to not cackle like a maniac. She had him. His heart belonged to her, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. It had been so remarkably easy too. All she had done was love him with all her heart, and Hydrus had reciprocated. She scooped him up and held the boy, ignoring his grumbling, mostly to hide the insane smile that she knew was on her face.
Bellatrix might be crazy, and a bit delusional, but she wasn't stupid. She knew full well Narcissa and Andromeda would likely try and undermine her influence and steal Hydrus away from her. They were Slytherins, and she would've been disappointed if they didn't try. But now it didn't matter, and it would never matter. She couldn't wait to watch Hydrus break them. To watch her son turn them into the submissive cum hungry sluts she knew they were. Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt her love squirm in her grasp. Bellatrix could feel Hydrus try and grind his hardness into as he kissed her neck. "Please mummy. Please take me, I need you so badly." He whined. Bellatrix sat him down on the table and gave him a sick grin before getting on her knees.
She slipped his erection through his briefs and began stroking him. She gave him a long lick from balls to tip and enjoyed watching him shudder. She nuzzled the fat dick to her cheek and looked up at Hydrus. "You're clearly a big boy, Hydrus. You have to use your words and tell mummy what you want." she cooed. Before he could answer Bellatrix stood up, feeling a strange mental buzz. Someone was at the wards yet again. Whoever it was, Bellatrix was going to kill them. She was starting to get really tired of being interrupted. "Someone is at the ward line, my love. I need to go and speak to our guest and then we'll continue. In the meantime, why don't you go breed your toys, ok?" Hydrus looked as frustrated as she felt. "If that's the case, can I just wait here and practice a bit more?" Bellatrix shook her head. "We can practice magic as much as you want, but only with me. Do you understand?" She said somewhat sternly. The last thing she wanted was someone else filling her Hydrus with nonsense. Looking unhappy, Hydrus nodded. "Good boy." She said, cupping his cheek and rubbing it fondly. Bellatrix waved her wand, summoning proper clothes which she magicked on and turned on her heel, leaving Hydrus alone.
With a pop Bellatrix arrived at the ward line. Utilizing her vampiric aura, she radiated her displeasure as she stared at the person on the other side. "Alecto. Why are you disturbing me?" She demanded.
"Mistress, I come with news." Alecto said, kneeling at Bellatrix's feet. Alecto was one of few that Bellatrix had bestowed concubine status upon. Being a concubine of Hydrus meant she got access to several Black properties and a sizable monthly stipend. It also made her the highest-ranking person within the Carrow family. The Carrows, along with the Rosiers, Macnairs, and Burkes, were cadet houses of House Black. The Black family protected the cadets' interests and invested in their businesses, even going as far as to sponsor noteworthy members of the minor families to help land them cushy ministry jobs. In return, the minor cadet houses had to swear themselves to House Black and give them a sizable percentage of their gross income from any money their businesses would have made.
There was no Lord Carrow, or Rosier, or Burke, or Macnair. The title of Lord was reserved for whoever was the current Lord or Lady of House Black. Instead, they were Dukes, or Dutchess in Alecto's case.
"Speak" Bellatrix commanded. "My team and I were hunting the traitor Rodolphus when we came across a note he had written. He foretells that His Highness is in danger from werewolves who are working with IDA. It also stresses that His Highness needs to consume as much magical blood as quickly as possible. I will volunteer House Carrow of course, but we are a small house. I will need your permission in order to convince House Rosier that His Highness has returned and is in need of their service." Alecto explained, still kneeling.
Bellatrix pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a deep breath. If Alecto was telling the truth, then this was a disaster. For IDA to willingly work with werewolves meant that there was something else going on. It didn't make any sense to her. Sure, IDA might know that Hydrus was the son of the Dark Lord and still alive, but after all these years they shouldn't still have such a vested interest in him. He was a child that hadn't even begun school yet. He had no feats or accomplishments that would put him this high on IDA's watchlist. So why? Why were they so interested in capturing her son? Her blood ran cold as she came to the conclusion.
IDA had to know of the existence of the Great Prophecy.
Bellatrix took a moment to calm herself down and think. Right now, there was no way they knew the full details. They would still be at war if they did. Right now, the ICW was moving cautiously, trying to keep an eye on things, so as to not accidentally fulfill a Great Prophecy they don't know the details of. Which meant that there was no way they would work with werewolves and risk being caught. Bellatrix scowled heavily. This wasn't the work of IDA, it had to be an imposter, or a group of imposters so convincing that they were able to fool Rodolphus's future sight. It had to be someone who knew of Hydrus's importance and had something to gain by delivering him to the enemy. But who?
Bellatrix transfigured some grass into parchment and using her wand, branded it with the crest of House Black. She tossed it across the ward line and gave Alecto some instructions. "If I remember right, Evan should be the current Duke of House Rosier. Bring that to him and tell him that I'll need some renovators, and as many women as he can spare including my mother. Also, I'll be taking you up on your donations. I want introductory books on both the psychic and dark arts as well as anyone you can spare." Alecto nodded. "Should I call upon the Burkes and Macnairs as well, Mistress?" Bellatrix shook her head. "No need. Do tell them to be in fighting shape though." With her orders given Bellatrix dismissed Alecto with a wave of her hand, leaving Bellatrix alone with her thoughts.
With the amount of people that were about to be under the ward, Bellatrix could probably transfer the burden of holding up the ward and escape with Hydrus before it collapsed. That would be a last resort though. Bellatrix was confident she could modify the ward. She just had to find a way to leave enough of herself here to power the ward, that way she could shift the burden and be able to leave with Hydrus, and her sisters.
With help from the Rosier renovators, she was going to turn the Black Retreat into a fully upgraded blood storage facility. It would become a proper vacation home, suitable for members of the Black Family to come and go as they wished, while leaving the whores and the food stuck. Being able to move freely would throw off the imposters and whatever werewolves they sent. Bellatrix smiled in self-satisfaction as her plans began to come together. She spun on her heel, eager to get back to Hydrus.
Bellatrix arrived back in the library and found Hydrus making a complete mess out of Andromeda. She quickly cast a disillusionment charm on herself and watched eagerly.
"You like that don't you, auntie. You're a terrible toy you know, cumming all by yourself over and over again. Mum told me you were a weakling, but this is ridiculous." Hydrus berated her as he thrust into her soaking wet cunt from behind. Andromeda couldn't exactly say anything in her defense as she moaned and mumbled incoherently and squirted all over her nephew.
SLAP! Hydrus struck Andromeda's large ass, enjoying the ripple and turning it a succulent pink. Suddenly Hydrus pulled out and spun his aunt around. He began to jack off furiously in her face, and Andromeda opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue expectantly. He let out a deep grunt as he came, painting Andromeda's face with his seed as rope after rope of thick, stick, semen. She had done her best to catch most of it, but Hydrus, like an asshole, had aimed specifically for her eyes and hair. Hydrus frowned deeply. His orgasm hadn't lasted long, and it wasn't nearly as intense when he had sex with his mother. Despite busting, he was more frustrated than satisfied. He looked down at his aunt who was on the verge of unconsciousness and sighed. She was in no state to go on. Despite the mess he had left her in, Hydrus didn't really feel that bad.
He had barely left the library to explore the house when Andromeda had pounced on him. He had enjoyed her kisses and the slobbery blowjob she had given him. But then she had crossed the line in saying that Bellatrix didn't really love him because she didn't love anybody, that she was trying to manipulate him. Just like how Bellatrix had used and manipulated her. Hydrus had been so offended that it triggered an episode of madness and he had roughly fucked her right then and there. Between the magic he was giving off, and his fat bitchbreaking dick, Andromeda stood no chance. She was an orgasmic mess, unable to deny him, but eager beyond belief to satisfy him.
Now he was bored, and horny. Hydrus briefly considered finding Narcissa and giving her the same treatment before he decided against it. He tried reading a small manual on various techniques on nonverbal casting. His mum would be back, and Hydrus wanted to keep impressing her.
"Well now, what do we have here?" Bellatrix emerged from her concealment after seeing that Hydrus was done playing. She reveled at seeing him jump almost a foot in the air before turning to look at her grumpily. "Don't do that! Seriously, you might need to start wearing a bell or something, popping up and scaring folk."
She just grinned at him. "I see you had fun. Did you enjoy breaking your toy, sweetheart?" Bellatrix knew the answer of course but she wanted Hydrus to say it, to further cement the fact she was the only woman that mattered in his life. "Not really. I think she was already broken; she was talking crazy even before I used her." Hydrus said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Oh? What type of things did she say?" Bellatrix asked curiously. Hydrus sneered as he recalled the things Andromeda told him. "She said that you didn't love me and that you were only manipulating me for your own nefarious reasons." Bellatrix blinked, more perplexed than actually angry, before she let out a deep laugh. For someone to say that Bellatrix didn't love Hydrus was absolutely absurd. Hydrus literally kept her sane, without him she was incomplete. As for manipulating him, that was false too. Bellatrix had already manipulated her son into loving her back.
"Don't be too mad at her, Hydrus. Sluts say silly things when they feel inferior. Now come and give me my kisses." Bellatrix opened her arms invitingly and caught her son as he leaped into her arms, spinning him around playfully. She continued to hold him as they made out, the both of them growing more and more frisky. Before things could escalate and she lost control, Bellatrix pulled away and reluctantly put Hydrus down.
"Before I milk you dry there's something I should talk to you about, my love. Your grandmother is going to come live with us, and she's going to be bringing members of her family for you to fuck and feed on. She's also bringing some renovators to expand and add to the house. I don't want you disturbing them while they work, but you can drain their blood once they're done. I wasn't expecting this to happen, which means I need to rethink our daily schedule." Hydrus nodded to show he was paying attention.
"In the morning, after breakfast, you and I will continue your studies until lunchtime. After that we'll take a break for a few hours. There are some things I need to work on, and I'll need full concentration. Once we come back from break, we'll begin your dueling training and that can count as our daily exercise. After training is done, you're free until dinner. I should also mention that your grandmother Druella is a decent witch, so if you ever want to practice a new spell or review something you and I have covered, you may do so as long as either her or I are present. Any questions?"
"What sort of renovations are we getting?" Hydrus asked, interest piqued. "The shed is being expanded to give our food decent living conditions. I know it seems like a waste, but there's nothing worse than having to drink old blood. I'd rather they live, so that way it's always fresh. For the main house I'm thinking of a potions lab, a dueling room with an attached spa, definitely an enchanting workshop, and ritual room." Bellatrix listed.
"That's a lot of renovations. Are they going to be able to bring all the materials in one trip? Because once they get here they can't leave. Also, how much is this gonna cost? I'll help however I can, I got a lot of money from the Lestrange vault." Bellatrix only smiled at her son, giving him a quick kiss. "First of all, you don't ever need to worry about how much something costs. There is nothing in this world that we can't buy. But to answer your question, it shouldn't take longer than a week. Rosier renovators are the best in the business, they can multiply their supplies and apply permanent transfiguration and heavy-duty enchantments, without risking structural integrity. Now enough of all this serious talk. Pretty soon we won't have time for me to fuck you until you pass out anymore, and I need to get my time in now." Bellatrix said, her eyes glinting dangerously.
Hydrus gave her a flat look before glancing at the clock on the wall. "It's barely eleven o clock. We have the whole rest of the day ahead of us."
Bellatrix nodded sagely before once again picking Hydrus up and kissing him deeply to quiet his reflexive protest. "You're right, we have the whole rest of the day free for mummy to fuck her Hydrus silly."
