SPOILERS: None, if you don't know how the Harry Potter story goes by now, why are you reading this story?

WARNINGS: If You've ever read any of my stories, you know what to expect, Oral, anal, Femme-slash, Dom/sub, and multiple partners. The lemons won't appear for a few chapters yet, things need to be set in place, and time passes before it happens.

ADULT THEME WARNING: Things start to get a bit more explicit in this chapter. Nothing outrageous, but it's there.

BACKGROUND SLASH WARNING: In this story, Sirius and Remus are a couple, but other than a couple of risque comments Lily makes to tease them, it doesn't have a major impact on the story. There are meta-reasons for the pairing, but there will be no on-screen activities between the two, not even a kiss, so if you dislike Slash, you don't have to worry.

AUTHORS NOTES: Something a bit different from me, since Harry and his generation aren't the major focus of the story, although he will appear in the story. Hope you enjoy it anyway

Early Evening

Remus grabbed a pad of paper and a biro from a kitchen drawer and sat down, pulling the book toward him and opening it. He focused on the page, because he knew he had seen that writing before, but where?

He was so focused on the mystery in front of him, that he didn't even notice when Harry came in. It wasn't until Harry's voice came from behind him, "The Basics of Chanting – the importance of breath – Cool! I'm glad Sirius found the books. Have you found anything useful yet?"

Remus jerked in his seat, spraying a mouthful of tea, fortunately, directed away from the books and papers. "You can read these?" Harry nodded, slowly,

"What do you mean, can I read them? It's in plain English, isn't it?"

Remus shook his head, "To you, maybe, but to Sirius and I it's just squiggles and lines on the cover and the pages." He paused, "Harry, can you take the smaller frame and ask your grandmother to join us, please? I need to check something."

Harry was back shortly carrying the frame, which he sat down on the table next to his honorary uncle. Picking up the book that Harry named 'The Basics of Chanting,' "Can you read the the name of this book?"

She gave him an odd look, but said, "Of course, it's 'The Basics of Chanting', that's a silly question, but I would have thought you could read English, if not else after seven years of schooling." She smirked at the look on Remus before saying, "Okay, so you aren't seeing what I'm seeing, are you?"

"No, you and Harry are reading it as plain English, but Sirius and I see nothing but squiggly lines. I'm sure I've seen this writing before, but I can't remember where!" The frustration in his voice was clear to all of them, but then Dorea got a look of realization on her face, and said,

"Remus, did you take Ancient Runes when you were at Hogwarts?"

He nodded, "Yes, both Sirius and I did, why?" Before Dorea could answer, he went pale, "Herpo the Foul?"

Harry was looking between the two of them and said, "Care to let me in on the secret? I don't start Ancient Runes until September, remember?"

Dorea frowned slightly, before she said, "The reason for our reaction was, the language it's written in is called Parseltongue, the language of snakes. Unfortunately, because the last known speaker was Voldemort, the people tend to think it's the sign of a dark wizard, it isn't by the way, considering some of the great healers who were parselmouths." She paused for a second, concentrating on something, "Herbo the foul was the first know wizard to write down the language, and it's studied in NEWT level Ancient Runes, but what other electives are you taking?"

Harry chuckled, not noticing the way Remus shuddered, "Arithmancy of course, can't let mum or Aunt Selene be the only ones in the family to develop entertaining spells, can I?"

Remus spoke up, "Okay Dorea, I think you've proved your point, can you two please speak normally? Mentally I know the belief is nonsense, but like everybody our age, I was raised hearing what a sign of a dark wizard it was."

Harry looked at Dorea, and said, "But, we're both speaking English, aren't we?"

She shook her head, "Not yet," closing her eyes, then said, "Is that better Remus?"

"Yes it is, thanks."

Harry looked at Dorea in confusion, "What was different, it sounded just the same to me." Remus grimaced at the sound of hissing and Dorea looked at him sympathetically,

"Harry, I want you to focus on saying these words, can you do that for me?" He nodded, and Dorea continued, "Concentrate on saying Book, Lake, Paint, focus on saying those three words, I'll let you know when to stop."

"SSssss," Harry frowned, "No, thatsssssssss not right!" Scowling, "Bookssssssssssssssss" "Book! Book!" he looked at the two of them, smiling widely, "Okay, am I speaking normally now?"

Dorea nodded, "So far, but keep working on the other two words, so your mouth gets used to making those sounds again."

It took about 5 minutes before Dorea was satisfied, and when Lily came through the floo, she looked at them curiously, before picking up the book that was in front of Remus. "'The Basics of Chanting' That's fantastic, I didn't know you found anything that useful!"

Remus stared at Lily, laughing helplessly, while Harry and Dorea stared with jaws dropped. Lily looked at the three of them and frowned, "Somebody mind telling me why you're acting like I farted in front of the Queen or something?"

It was Harry who said, "Um. Mum? Do you know that you were speaking Parseltongue? I was thinking I got it from the Black side of the family, but it seems I get it from both sides of the family."

Lily nodded, "It was a surprise when I heard my mum talking to a snake in our backyard when we lived in Cambridge when I was 9 or 10, especially since I could understand and speak to snakes as well. Mum told me to be very quiet about it, because people have a strange idea about being able to talk to snakes, and it's not as if they talk about anything interesting, it's all about the best places to lay in the sun, and where to find the juiciest mice, things like that. Of course, when I get to Hogwarts and find out about Salazar Slytherin who was from the Fens, it made a little more sense that people in our family have the ability. But anyway, have you found anything yet?"

"Not yet Mum, They were trying to help me speak English again, which is when you came in."

Lily sat down, reaching for one of the other books, "Parseltongue And The Rituals of the Sacred Twenty Eight"? Lily looked at Dorea who, if a painting could go pale, Dorea would have managed it!

"Harry, can you please ask your grandfather to join me in my frame? It's something else that Charlus didn't get the chance to tell James before we were killed, but you need to know now."

A Few Minutes Later

By the time Harry had gotten back to the kitchen table, Charlus was making himself comfortable in Dorea's frame, and Sirius was moving around upstairs, so they decided to wait until he could join them. When Sirius had a fresh cup in front of him and the others had their drinks, Lily and Dorea caught Sirius up to where they were, and after they got through with Sirius' conniptions finding out that Lily, Harry, and Dorea were all parselmouths, Lily looked at Dorea, who turned to her husband and asked, "Did you discuss the Sacred Twenty Eight rituals with James before we were killed? Because, until she reminded me of the rituals, I'd forgotten all about them!"

Charlus looked shocked, before frowning in concentration, "I'd forgotten too, but Randolph told both of us that some things would fade away until reminded of them, I guess this was one of them, But no, I was waiting for him to have a serious girlfriend to start the training, after all, the rituals need at least 2 couples, and a single person would have to be as limber as one of those India-Rubber man to get into the positions."

Lily spoke up, "Okay, it's something else James didn't know about because you died too soon. But what I need to know, how big a problem is this right now? Because as nice as this is to live, I'd really love to go home again."

Charlus leaned back and closed his eyes in thought, he was quiet for a long couple of minutes before opening his eyes again and smiling, "From what I can remember, it's skipped generations for a variety of reasons before, and there was no problem, we have time to teach Harry and his wives what needs to be done, and… Oh bollocks! The ritual requirements and the historical background, plus the specific training for the three of them, are locked in the Potter vault, so we z for Harry, while Dorea can teach Luna and Hermione from the wives perspective. It should be interesting to say the least, since it's been a hundred years or so since we last had a triad at the head of one of the families, no, two families, since it's doubtful that you or Remus are going father a sprog anytime soon, and I'm sure that Harry and his wives will greatly enjoy them."

"What's so special about these rituals that Hermione, Luna and me will enjoy them? The few I've heard about or got to watch, had people wearing thin white robes and standing in a circle while two of them stood in the center of the circle. The most exciting part of the whole thing was when the two of them each conjured a candle and then lit it with their wands. It was a bit of a yawn actually." The laughter from his grandparents, and chuckles from his mum and uncles told him that he was missing something. "These rituals are different, aren't they?"

It was Lily who answered, "I'm not sure what happens with these particular rituals, but your father and I, and other couples performed on Beltane, well, it was dark except for the bonfires, and as we did the ritual dancing, the shifts, those thin white robes, got tossed into the flames, and all of us spent the rest of the night, until sunrise, celebrating life."

"Oh…alright that does sound a lot more interesting than the ones I knew about, but not for a couple of years yet, none of us are physically ready, no matter how much we want to be."

He couldn't help the blush as he remembered those times when he had seen Hermione and Luna nude and pleasuring themselves, it made him curse that his body wasn't as developed as his imagination, but at least he was able to put them over his lap for a bare bottom spanking, which both girls loved! Although he was looking forward to seeing how they like the bondage frame like Hermione's parents have in their playroom, Luna's eyes glazed over at the sight of the equipment that was in every open area of the playroom, and she had to stop herself from picking up the set of training plugs and lubricant to prepare her for being buggered, it didn't help matters when Hermione started talking about the night she watched her mum be buggered by her father and two other men, and then the men went to one of the other women until all the women had gotten their rears stuffed! Luna found the preparation spells and made sure that all three of them could cast them, and yeah, he was looking forward to doing all these things that Luna and Hermione had fantasized about, not to mention quite a few ideas of his own. But he could think about that later, he needed to concentrate on finding a solution to making his mum a real Potter, they could worry about the naked fun times once Lily was part of the family!

He opened the book on Wedding Rituals, and while quite a few of those rituals wouldn't do anything except cure boredom in the bedroom, there were some that helped with fertility and other things, but nothing immediately useful…Hello, what's this? Magical Adoption rituals? Reading through them, Harry was disappointed to reach the end and not find anything that would help them. He was about to reach for another book when something caught his eye, at the bottom of the inside cover, almost too small to be seen, was a drawing of a snake, but the snake, when he looked closer, appeared to be framing a doorway, and the word 'open' in the center. Briefly wondering if whoever wrote this book was thinking of the Mines of Moria, Harry focused on the snake and hissed the word 'open' only to drop the book in surprise when the book suddenly got a lot thicker as a large number of pages appeared at the back of the book. The others looked over when Harry started hissing and watched in surprise when the new pages appeared.

Cautiously, he read through the rest of the pages, stopping to reread one of the rituals. "Mum, can you and grandmother take a look at this, it may actually be what we are looking for."

"Really? That would be fantastic!" his mum said, reaching for the book. "When the head of family isn't available, but another member is, with the proper ritual materials they can make the subject of the ritual a member of the family. Oh shite! The family member needs to be either an adult, or the designated heir by being registered with the Goblins and the Ministry, and that's done through reading the will. The will hasn't been read, so Harry isn't recognized as the Heir yet. This is fucking lovely!" Lily frowned, "Sorry Harry, this is one of those 'do as I say, not as I do' situations. Don't let me catch you using words like that, if you do, you'll find that I still remember the soapy mouth spell. You don't want to experience that again, do you?"

Harry wasn't the only one shaking his head vigorously, Sirius had his hands covering his mouth as he shook his head too. Harry was very curious about what the mutt had done to get the soap treatment but was fairly sure he wasn't going to find out. Taking the book back, he started reading, hoping to find something useful to help his mum. Harry wasn't worried about his status, but it was bothering his mother something terrible. The new pages didn't seem to have anything that would help at all, and he was about to turn the next page when he noticed that there was a very faint mark above certain letters on the page and, having heard stories about how the Marauders put together their passwords and reached for a notepad and pen of his own. It took him several tries to put the letters together, and he snorted at the result, "Slytherin, Greatest of the Four Founders," the guy had an ego problem, that's for sure! Focusing on an image of the snake, he hissed the password and the words disappeared, to be replaced by more writing, in a firm hand. 'Well done, my descendant, very well done! You've demonstrated the cunning to realize there was more to the book and worked out how to activate the doorway. That was only the first step to reaching my true secrets. You've unlocked the second step, and I will tell you that the final step is the most difficult, but you need to find my private library in the Chamber of Secrets. The only problem is, with Hogwarts being magical, it moves and shifts until it's not recognizable, and I'm not even certain I know where it is. But in my Secret Chamber, there are instructions for rituals and chants including ones that will slide between the protections on the records at both Gringotts and the Ministry, I only created those rituals, and the others in the book as a test to see if it could be done, and how to secure against them. I have no idea what possible use you could put those rituals to, but I have confidence you'll think of something," signed "Salazar Slytherin, your ancestor. Come back when you locate my chamber and write on the page, and I'll guide you where you need to go."

The writing on the page faded, and the original writing flowed across the page, leaving no sign that there was ever anything there.

"Um, this is a strange question, but do any of you have idea what Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is? Or where it might be found, because according to what he wrote there are some rituals that were never released, and some of them may be useful to us."

Naturally, they all wanted to know what Harry was talking and they were still talking when the elves kicked them out to start supper.

Club Justine

London

Friday, April 9th, 1993

9:00 PM

Lily wasn't sure what she expected when she accepted Monica and Richard's invitation to join them for the evening at Club Justine. Harry and Hermione were spending the night at the Rookery, and Selene was keeping an eye on the three of them, to ensure they didn't get carried away before before they were old enough. Richard, no! Sir, have to remember to call him Sir, to show him the proper respect as a Dominant, even if he isn't her Dominant. But after Sir paid the entry fee, he directed Monica and her into the locker room to change.

Following Monica, she relaxed a little bit seeing all of the other naked women in the locker room, checking the key she was given against the matching lock, and opened the locker. Stripping out of her street clothes, she took her billfold out of her purse and, after double-checking that the key opened the lock, closed the locker door. Still nude, with her head held high, she walked to an open full-length mirror and examined her appearance carefully, pleased to see and feel that the skin surrounding her quim was smooth and hairless. Moving over to the rack of robes, she found one that fit properly and slipped her billfold and locker key into the inside pocket before zipping it up. Pulling the robe around her, and tying the belt loosely, showing her tits when she moved, and the bottom of the robe flipped open and showed that she was properly groomed.

Monica stepped up beside her and said, "Remember, you don't have to do anything tonight that you don't want to do, and if anyone tries and doesn't take no for an answer, press your fingers on the strap crossing your hand, it will let security know that you need help, and exactly where you are. I seriously doubt you would run into the situation, the rules are explained to everyone and violations of those gets you kicked out and banned from any Club Justine in the world. If you see someone that catches your eye, or you get an invitation you want to accept, just explain that you need to tell someone where you are going. Again, not anything you need to worry about, anybody who's spent any length of time exploring the lifestyle learns the safety protocols. The key here is that everything, even if it looks extreme, is Safe, Sane and Consensual, which is why there's no alcohol served here, and if anybody, man or woman, who are obviously intoxicated won't be allowed into the club. Do you have any questions?"

Lily shook her head, "Not right now, I'm still trying to deal with being here, when Sir had you contact me, I wasn't sure I would have the nerve to follow through, even though I wanted to, it was just so scary."

Monica chuckled, "I know, I think if I hadn't seen and recognized Master that first night, I would have turned around and left, but seeing familiar face gave me the courage to step out and I haven't missed the old life at all! So, are you ready to take your first step into a larger world?"

Lily smirked, "Sorry, but while I might buy Sir as Han Solo, I can't picture you as Obi-Wan, but yes, lets quit holding up traffic."

Monica laughed and the two of them made their way into the club itself. Lily was doing her best not to rubber-neck, but seeing the naked women with their collars and leads kneeling at the feet of their Master or Mistress, or the naked men in the same position, it was far beyond anything she was expecting, and then they were walking along the railing looking down into the different playrooms, and almost stumbled in shock at what she saw. Charity Burbage, the Muggle Studies Professor was standing naked on a raised platform, her legs spread and her ankles cuffed to the floor, her wrists in cuffs being pulled taut so Charity was bound, spread eagle, and the circular platform started to slowly rotate, allowing Bathsheba Babbling, the Ancient Runes Professor to reach different parts of her body without moving from her spot. Lily had to admire the way that Bathsheba filled her costume, but remembering the night she wore it for James, she wore it better. Of course, the natural red hair helped since she had been dressed like the Jean Grey Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, and there were times she would have cheerfully shown Padfoot the rubber band trick for deciding to share his latest muggle hobby with James, who suddenly developed an interest in costumes and role-playing. Sure, it was fun, and even hot at times. But why was she the one who always had to dress up? She would have enjoyed seeing James in spandex once in a while!

Shaking her head to get rid of the random thoughts, she took a moment to enjoy the way Bathsheba was dressed, and Monica moved beside her and said, quietly enough to not be heard, "They are attractive, I agree, but is there something special that got your attention?"

Lily turned to face the other woman and said, "The something special is that the two of them work in the same place that I do, and I wish I'd known about Bathsheba before break, there were times I could use a night of turning off my brain and do what I'm told for a change."

"Selene isn't able to help you?"

Shaking her head, "She tries, but she doesn't really understand what I need, otherwise she'd be right here with us tonight. I'm just glad that Sir will be able to provide Harry advice, since Luna and Hermione are already comfortable with their needs, and are counting on Harry to meet them. I'm sure that Sir never expected to be teaching his daughter's lover the proper way to dominate her."

Monica chuckled, "No, not at first, but once he got used to the idea, he's actually looking forward to it, because he knows he'll teach Harry what he needs to know from the beginning,."

A loud moan from the playroom below came drifting up, grabbing their attention, and looking down, Lily smiled, "That looks like fun, doesn't it?

Charity was still bound, except the chains holding her wrists in place had lengthened, letting Charity kneel on the padding on the platform Bathsheba was standing in front of her, stroking the strap-on and moaning in pleasure, before rubbing the head across Charity's lips, making the bound woman open her mouth and start sucking on the fake cock like she was Gilderoy Lockhart working a glory hole on Knockturn Alley! Narrowing her eyes, Lily could see the slight shimmering of a notice-me-not charm surrounding the base of the fake cock, concealing that it was a part of Bathsheba, "How clever," she said softly, picturing the different arithmetic formulas to design the charm to do what Bathsheba wanted.

Lily watched for a few minutes, wanting to see how they worked the climax because she could see the balls tightening, it wouldn't be long now. A low sigh from Bathsheba and a wide smile were the only signs that anything special had happened unless you watched Charity, whose cheeks puffed out when Bathsheba came, and then she started swallowing as fast as she could until Lily could tell that Charity was getting overwhelmed. Fortunately, Bathsheba was paying attention and pulled out of Charity's mouth, letting her swallow what she had in her mouth, before holding it open to catch the last two bursts on her tongue, before swallowing. Lily let her concentration lapse so she would see what everyone else was seeing, it was clearly attached to the harness, and she could easily see ways to improve the design, she was lost in thought and didn't even realize that Monica was trying to get her attention.

Blushing, she said, "Sorry about that, I'll explain when we get somewhere a little more private, okay?" Monica nodded, and she led Lily over to a booth where Sir was waiting, a curious expression on his face.

Lily started speaking, explaining what had caught her attention, and then the charms, and how she was certain she could improve them.

She wasn't expecting Sir to start laughing, and shaking his head, "You are so much like Hermione it's scary, she sees something new, and starts to think how to improve it. In fact,when when we get ready to leave tonight, there is an attached adult shop, and I want you and Monica to each purchase the toy you were describing. When we get to our house I want you to put the charms on each of them, and then I want to see you use it on Monica. But first, did you enjoy seeing what your two co-workers were doing?"

Lily didn't hesitate, she nodded, "Yes Sir, very much so!"

Sir nodded, "Would you be comfortable if Monica was the one to put you in bondage, and used the crop on you?"

Lily closed her eyes, picturing the scene and she realized that she could trust Monica and Richard in this, and she wanted to feel what Charity was experiencing.

"Yes Sir, I would be comfortable enough with Monica, and I realized that I trust both of you enough to let you use the crop. I'm already looking forward to loving Monica, and if you want me, I wouldn't refuse you."

Monica smiled widely at her comments, and Sir looked pleased as well, but he slipped out of the booth and said, "Give me your robes, I'm always pleased with Monica, but I want to see what you are offering me, and show it off, make the others jealous!"

Lily was glad that she didn't have to be back at Hogwarts until Sunday because it was a very long, very enjoyable evening.
