The Dark Lord hissed a greeting to his throng of loyal followers. The Death Eaters assembled before him fell to their knees and worshiped at his feet. Voldemort was pleased until he realized not all his Death Eaters were present. Every member of his fanatical group had answered his call--all but one.
Voldemort shrieked his displeasure to those gathered.
"Where issss Severusssss?"
"Here, my Lord." Severus answered as he made his way into the circle. He fell upon the hem of the Dark Lord's robe, begging forgiveness for his tardiness.
"What kept you, my pet?"
"The old fool. He wouldn't let me leave. He kept insisting that I have more tea and scones. I humbly apologize and beg your forgiveness, my Lord."
"Excuesssss," Voldemort hissed. "You shall not be late again, Severusssss. I had other entertainment planned for this evening, but that will have to wait until the next time I summon thee. For this evening, you shall be the entertainment. Do you understand, pet?"
"Yes, my Lord. I am but your humble servant."
"Excellent. Now strip."
Severus closed his mind, shut down all emotion and stripped as his lord commanded him to do. He lay face down, naked and spread-eagle within the circle of Death Eaters. The Dark Lord smiled evilly. "Will you need restrains, pet?"
"No, my Lord."
"Good. Then we may begin."
At Voldemort's signal, Walden Macnair took up a position behind Severus. In these instances, Macnair always went first to pave the way for the others. Macnair knelt behind Severus and pulled him up to his knees. With no lubrication or any preparation whatsoever, Macnair slammed his large prick straight up Severus' arse.
Severus bit his tongue to stop the screams of pain as Macnair pounded into him unmercifully. Severus could feel his insides ripping and tearing under the onslaught. Macnair tightened his grip on Severus' hips and finally grunted to completion. Macnair laughed, pulled out, stroked his cock and licked Severus' blood from his fingertips with relish.
Severus slumped forward and rested his head on his arms, knowing that someone else was about to take Macnair's place. Pettigrew went next. His tiny prick felt like nothing compared to the monster cock of Macnair's. Severus barely felt anything at all. His lower half had gone numb after the first assault. Now, he just had to endure the humiliation until Voldemort's thirst for blood was satiated.
Rabastan Lestrange went next, followed directly by Rodolphus, then Nott. Severus lost consciousness once or twice during the ordeal. He also lost count of the endless parade of Death Eaters, but he was awake when Lucius finally took his turn. Voldemort's right hand man went last because Voldemort enjoyed Lucius' brutality the most.
Unfortunately, tonight Voldemort was disappointed. Lucius raped Severus in, what to some would seem like, a gentle manner. He thrust in and out with measured stokes. His eyes shone with concentration. His mind seemed far away and not on his task. When Lucius finished, Voldemort showed his displeasure with a few well-aimed Cruciatus curses cast at Lucius.
"Severusssss, I hope you have learned your lesson. Come to me, my pet."
Severus crawled to the feet of his Dark Lord, where Voldemort unveiled his slimy cock and pressed it to Severus' lips.
"Suck it, Severusssss. Pleasure me before I send you back to the old man."
"Yes, my lord," Severus whispered, his voice barely audible.
Severus sucked the hideous cock into his mouth, almost gagging on the feel, taste and smell of it. He sucked with everything he had, hollowing out his cheeks and taking Voldemort's cock in all the way to the root. His tongue slid up and down its length, swirled around the tip and back down to the base repeatedly until the Dark Lord eventually exploded in his mouth. Severus had no other recourse but to swallow the vile substance.
Severus collapsed on the floor at Voldemort's feet. He didn't hear the maniacal laugh that followed his descent into blackness.
"Lucius, if you are recovered enough to assist our Severus home I will forgive you for your lack of enthusiasm this evening."
"I am, my Lord. Thank you, my Lord," Lucius said, bowing low to the ground.
"All of you may now leave my sight."
Death Eaters scrambled for the exit as Lucius hauled Severus up off the floor, hastily redressing him and dragging him towards the door.
Lucius managed to get Severus to the Apparition point. It was difficult because Severus kept losing consciousness and Lucius had to half carry him most of the time. When they arrived at the gates of Hogwarts Lucius cast a partial healing spell. Only a few spells were safe enough to use on Severus. He wasn't good at healing, but he had to get Severus awake enough to enter Hogwarts under his own power.
Severus groaned and opened his eyes. Lucius still supported most of his weight as his head began to clear a little. After several moments, Severus managed to stand on his own. He glared a Lucius before he spoke. "What were you thinking?"
"Severus, I was just trying to protect you. Your punishment wasn't fair."
"What punishment is ever fair with our Lord? He is unstable."
"Yes, I know, but you must listen to me. He suspects you of treachery. He has for sometime now. He believes you to be a spy and so do I."
"I see. So, you do not trust me?"
"I trust you more than anyone else. I always have. That's why I'm leaving. I'm taking Narcissa and Draco out of the country. We've have no choice but to go into hiding and I suggest you do the same."
Severus stared. "Why? You've always supported our Lord no matter what. Why the sudden change?"
"As you've said, he is unstable. If he is successful, our world will end. Everything will be destroyed, not just the Muggles and the Mudbloods."
"You are just now realizing this?"
"Yes, I did not want to believe that our Lord had descended so far into madness. I wanted a new order to rise up and rule the world, but that will never happen."
"I cannot leave, Lucius. You know that, don't you?"
"I surmised as much. That's why I didn't leave the decision up to you."
"You're not making sense, Lucius. What are you talking about?"
"I still care for you, Severus."
"Our relationship ended a long time ago. It ended when you married Narcissa."
"I know, but a part of me still loves you."
"You're talking nonsense, Lucius. Tell me what you've done."
Lucius tightened his grip on Severus' waist and pulled him closer. He nuzzled Severus' neck briefly, until Severus shoved him away.
"Stop this, Lucius and tell me what you've done."
Lucius crossed his arms and looked down at the ground. "I chanted the Impraegnatus incantation while we coupled."
Severus' eyes went wide and then narrowed to tiny slits. The rage seething within him rose to the surface and the burst of magic that followed effectively knocked Lucius on his backside. Severus stepped forward, hands clenched into tight fists, but he was too shaky to do anything else. Severus collapsed on the ground and wrapped his arms around himself. He rocked himself until he could breathe again. Lucius crawled forward and tried to put a comforting hand on his shoulder, but Severus batted it away.
"How could you do this to me?"
"I just wanted you to be safe."
Severus laughed hysterically. "And you thought this would secure my safety? Do you really think Voldemort will show mercy to a pregnant wizard?"
Lucius looked Severus in the eye. "No, but I know Dumbledore will not take any chances with the child's life. You will be protected through the remainder of this war."
"Your brilliant plan has probably doomed us all to an unspeakable death." Severus rose to his feet and pushed open the gates. He walked toward Hogwarts without a backwards glance at Lucius. As he opened the doors, he heard the pop of Apparition. Lucius was gone and it was a good thing. It took all of Severus' willpower not to kill Lucius Malfoy.
~~~~~~
Sirius and Remus sat at the kitchen table drinking tea and eating biscuits. Sirius, of course, was still stir crazy, but Remus rather liked their little stone cottage tucked away deep within the forest.
Remus didn't understand why Sirius still complained. It was much better than Grimmauld Place, but nothing seemed to placate Sirius these days. Really though, Remus could understand a little. Sirius wanted to see Harry, but the poor boy didn't even know Sirius was still alive. After Albus rescued him from behind the veil, they agreed it was probably for the best if Harry remained in the dark. Sirius went along with it at the time, but now he was having second thoughts. Being stuck in a small cottage with just Remus for company was quite difficult for Sirius. He had always been a doer, and he hated being fenced in.
Remus and Sirius startled when the Floo flared to life and Albus stepped into the kitchen. They hadn't been expecting him. When Snape arrived right behind him, they knew something was terribly wrong.
Something was off about Snape. He looked defeated. It was a look neither Remus nor Sirius had ever seen on Snape's face. Remus assessed the man standing near the Floo. He was paler than usual. He seemed a bit unsteady on his feet. The only thing Remus could think was that the man was ill.
"Severus, come and sit down. You don't look well."
Severus glared at him, but took a few steps toward the chair that was held out for him and sat down heavily.
Remus and Sirius looked at Albus, waiting for some type of explanation, but none seemed to be forthcoming.
"You're going to have a new house guest for a little while. Treat him well." That was all Albus said before Flooing away.
Remus sat down across from Severus and Sirius took the seat next to him. They stared at each other, no one speaking, just staring. Finally, Sirius broke the silence. "Where are we going to put him?" Sirius asked, looking at Remus.
"In the bedroom," Severus supplied.
"You want our bedroom. There's only the one. I was thinking on the couch."
"I really don't care where you and your lover sleep, Black as long as I have the bedroom."
"You miserable git."
"Shut up, Sirius," Remus shouted.
"But…"
"Severus looks ill. He can have the bedroom." Remus turned toward Severus. "What's going on here? Can you tell us or are you under orders to keep it a secret?" Remus asked.
"Albus has given me permission to explain the situation to the two of you, but I need a nap first. It will be a long story and I must rest some."
"That's fine. Come with me and I'll show you to the bedroom. Did you bring anything with you?"
"My trunk is in my pocket. I'll unpack later."
"The bathroom is right next to the bedroom, if you'd like to freshen up."
Severus got up and followed Remus down the hall to the one small bedroom. It would have to do. He'd be here for quite some time if Albus had his way.
Remus showed Severus to his room and then returned to the kitchen. Sirius was pacing. He rounded on Remus as soon as he walked in. "What the bloody hell was that all about and why did you give that git our bedroom?" Sirius demanded.
"Did Severus look well to you, Sirius?"
"Honestly, I thought he looked better than usual. I've always thought he was ugly, but he didn't seem quite so ugly today."
"Something's wrong with him. His scent is off."
"Hmm, I noticed that too. He smelled different."
"No potions."
"What?"
"He didn't smell like potions. He hasn't been brewing."
"I wonder why?"
"It's obvious to me that he's sick, but I agree with you, he did have a softer look about him. I don't know what's going on, Sirius. We'll just have to wait until Severus explains."
"I suppose so, but I still don't like it. He's the last person I'd want for a house guest."
"Well there's nothing we can do about it. Albus left him here and we're going to make him feel welcome. Is that clear?"
"Oh sure, I'll be sweet as pie," Sirius smirked.
"Yes you will be and I'll make damn sure you are."
Sirius rolled his eyes, but didn't argue with him. Remus was acting strangely, almost as odd as Snape. For some reason, Remus had picked now to assert his dominance.
~~~~~~
Severus finally emerged from the bedroom just as dinner was served. They ate in silence. Remus and Sirius spent most of the time watching Snape eat. The man seemed positively ravenous. They'd never seen Snape eat like that before. If Remus didn't already suspect that something was wrong, he certainly did now. Sirius was looking thoughtful too as he watched Severus swallow his dinner whole.
After dinner, they retired to the living room. Severus sat in the overstuffed chair while Remus and Sirius sat on the sofa. Sirius' patience was running a bit thin and he finally blurted out, "If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were pregnant. You ate dinner like you'd never seen food before."
Severus visibly paled and Remus got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. "Please, Severus, tell us what's going on? What ever it is, I'm sure it will be fine. You're safe here. Sirius and I will take care of you."
Sirius gave Remus a dirty look and Severus snorted.
"I feel much better now that I know the two of you have my best interests at heart." Severus' said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Just tell us, Snape." Sirius growled.
"Fine, but don't interrupt me."
"We won't, Severus. Please, go on." Remus gave Sirius a hard glare and Sirius snapped his mouth shut before he got himself into any more trouble with his lover.
"It all started three months ago. The Dark Lord summoned me to meeting. I was late for that meeting because of a disturbance in one of the Slytherin dorms. Voldemort was furious and he decided to make an example out of me. I became the entertainment for the evening."
"Oh God," Remus shuddered.
"God had nothing to do with it, Lupin."
Sirius was on the edge of his seat, looking relatively pale himself. "What happened," Sirius demanded.
"To put it simply, I was gang raped by the male Death Eaters in attendance."
Remus jumped to his feet and made to comfort Severus.
"No, don't touch me, Lupin. Sit down and I will tell you the rest."
Remus backed off and sat back down. Sirius had his head in his hands when he groaned, "You mean there's more?"
"I'm afraid so. When I was in school, Lucius Malfoy and I were involved with each other. That is until he married your cousin, Narcissa. We have not been together since his marriage, but apparently, Lucius still cares for me.
"You had an affair with my cousin's husband?"
"You're not listening, Black. We broke it off just before the wedding. Nothing has passed between us since, not until the night of that fateful meeting. Lucius went last, per instructions by Voldemort. Lucius did something to me during the incident."
"My God, what did he do, Severus?" Remus asked with concern.
"He chanted the Impraegnatus incantation."
"The what?"
Remus was on his feet again and pacing. "Be quiet, Sirius. I need to think. Damn it, Severus, there is no way to reverse this."
"I am fully aware of that. My fate is sealed."
"Why in Merlin's name would Malfoy do something like this?"
"Supposedly, it was for my own protection. He assumed Albus would take every care to ensure my safety."
"And he was right."
"What the bloody hell are you all talking about? I've never heard of an Impraegnatus spell. What is it?" Sirius implored.
"Think, Sirius, Im--praeg--natus," Remus sounded it out carefully for Sirius.
Finally, a light bulb went off in Sirius' head. "Oh."
"Yes, Oh."
"I didn't know that was even possible."
"It's very possible but rarely done. I've only heard of two other instances where the Impraegnatus spell was used, and those were kept very hush-hush. It is not common knowledge. How did Malfoy get his hands on the spell?"
Severus sighed. "I really have no idea, but it worked. I am pregnant and due to deliver in six months."
"Fucking hell, I need a drink." Sirius got up and grabbed a bottle of scotch. He opened it, took a long swallow and passed it to Remus. Remus took a drink, but didn't pass the bottle to Severus.
"Snape might need a drink too, Remy."
"He can't have one."
"Oh, right, I forgot. Sorry, Snape."
"Well thank you for thinking of me anyway," Severus sneered.
“Pregnancy hasn't done much for your disposition, has it?" Sirius smirked as he took another drink of scotch.
"Would it yours?"
"Um, probably not." Sirius agreed. "So what are we going to do?"
Remus groaned, "We're going to have a baby."
"Correction, I'm going to have a baby."
"Not without us."
That was it. Sirius finally understood why Remus had been acting so strangely. His wolf senses must've picked up on Severus' pregnancy. It was all over for him and Remus. Sirius had always suspected that Remus cared for Severus. Something existed between them back in their school days up until the time Severus discovered Remus' affliction, but Sirius couldn't do anything about it now. He'd just have to standby and watch as Remus slipped away from him.
~~~~~~
The three men settled into a routine quickly. The pregnancy had definitely softened Severus' disposition, not drastically, but enough to allow Remus to fall hopelessly in love with Severus. Remus doted on the man and pretty much ignored Sirius. It was maddening to watch his long-time lover devote all of his attention to another man.
Sirius' frustration mounted with each passing day. He and Remus hadn't been intimate since Severus' arrival and Sirius figured they never would be again. Remus was too involved with taking care of Severus and the excitement of impending birth. It happened one month later while Remus was out on a mission with the werewolf pack. Sirius and Severus were sitting on the sofa when Dumbledore made a surprise visit to their little cottage. His face was grim.
"What's wrong now, Albus?"
"I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, Severus, but you need to know."
"Know what, Sir?" Severus asked with trepidation.
"We found a body at the front gates of Hogwarts. The man had been tortured and skinned alive."
"Oh, no, no, no," Sirius cried. His first thought was that the man had to be Remus. Why else would Albus look so sombre? Severus also looked like he was about to loose his breakfast.
"It's not Remus." Albus shouted over Sirius' cries, realizing the grave error he'd just made. With Remus away on a mission, it was only natural that they'd think the body was his.
"Who is it, Sir?" Severus asked with a renewed calm.
"Lucius Malfoy."
Severus face went pale, then red, then green all in a fraction of a second, and then returned to its mask of indifference.
"What about Narcissa and my Godson?"
"They are safe, child. Lucius made sure they would be. He came to me and begged that I keep his wife and son safe. I've been hiding them for months."
"I see. I thought Lucius went into hiding as well."
"Not exactly. Apparently, he and several other Death Eaters concocted a plot to kill the Dark Lord. Everything seemed to be going according to plan, but they were found out in the end and Voldemort exacted his revenge.
"Fuck," Sirius muttered.
"I'm sorry, Severus, but I promise no harm will come to Narcissa and Draco. I must return to Hogwarts now."
"Wait, what about Remus. When is he coming home?" Sirius asked.
"Soon, he'll be home soon." Albus said as he Flooed back to Hogwarts.
"Well that was bloody helpful." Sirius ranted. "You'd think that he could've at least given us something more definite after dropping the news about Lucius' death in our laps."
The sudden, sharp intake of breath made Sirius turn and look in Severus' direction. The man looked awful, sick and distraught. Sirius knelt down in front of him. "Severus, are you all right? Try to breathe, damn it."
Severus took a deep breath and slumped forward into Sirius' arms. "Come on, Severus, let's get you into bed. Everything will be fine. I promise."
Sirius supported Severus as they made their way down the hall and into the bedroom. Sirius got Severus in bed and lay down beside him. He stroked his hair and tried to comfort him as best he could. He was surprised that Severus allowed it, but then all the fight seemed to have left Severus' body. It must've been a blow to find out that the father of your unborn child had been murdered so mercilessly.
They slept for a time and when Sirius awoke, he found Severus' arms wrapped around him, head resting peacefully on his chest. Sirius' cock began to twitch in an undignified manner and he prayed that Severus wouldn't wake up and notice.
Sirius held his breath and tried to will away his erection, but it only seemed to make it harder. Severus moaned and shifted slightly and that's when Sirius felt the answering hardness pressed up against his own. Sirius looked down and met two obsidian eyes staring back at him. Things seemed to go into slow motion as Sirius' mouth descended on Severus' lips.
They kissed and frotted against each other. Sirius found himself slowly unbuttoning Severus' robes and slipping one hand inside. He ran his hand over smooth skin until he reached the hardness hidden within. He never once thought about stopping. The man in his arms felt too good, too needy and it spurred Sirius on.
Sirius gently pulled the robe off Severus' shoulders and down his arms. The bulge in Severus' tummy rose up to meet his hand. Severus shuddered beneath him as his fingers lightly stroked the curve of his abdomen. A whispered, "Please," escaped Severus' lips and that was all it took for Sirius to continue.
Sirius leaned down and kissed Severus, exploring his mouth thoroughly. He massaged and caressed his body almost reverently, taking his time and revelling in the sensation. Severus moaned and gasped with each touch. Sirius in his wildest dreams never imagined that Severus would be so open and passionate. It was a beautiful thing to watch.
Sirius positioned Severus on his side and moved behind him. He retrieved a little tube of lube from the nightstand and carefully began to prepare Severus. Three fingers in and gliding back and forth effortlessly, brought Severus to the edge of madness. "Now, please, I need this so badly."
"Shush, it's all right."
Sirius removed his fingers and positioned the head of his cock at Severus entrance. He pushed his way in slowly until he was completely sheathed. The heat that surrounded his cock was shear bliss. He wanted to stay like that forever, but Severus had other ideas.
"Move, damn you."
Sirius' thrust in and out of Severus' arse with a measured rhythm. He timed his strikes to Severus' prostate well, wringing deep moans out of his pregnant lover. Severus stroked his own cock in time with Sirius' gentle thrusts and soon the pleasure became too much. Severus lost his battle to stave off orgasm. He came hard, breath leaving his body in harsh pants and driving Sirius over the edge with him.
Sirius felt guilty as his softening cock slipped from Severus' body. He knew this was wrong, but the pleasure he felt making love to Severus kept the guilt somewhat at bay until the door suddenly flew wide open and Remus stepped into the room.
Sirius' eyes snapped open and he watched helplessly, unable to move as Remus stalked toward him. The man looked positively murderous. Remus, in all the time they'd known each other, had never looked at him like that.
Remus grabbed Sirius around the throat, hauled his naked arse out of the bed and slammed him hard against the nearest wall.
"Remy, stop, it's not what you think," Sirius cried.
"Not what I think," Remus growled. "You mean you didn't just have sex with Severus? I must have imagined the two of you in bed together and that's not come I smell."
"Remus, please," Sirius screamed as Remus' fist came speeding toward his face.
Severus was surprised and almost flattered. He never expected that someday he'd have two Gryfinndors fighting over him. It was all too surreal, but finally Severus decided to put an end to it before they actually hurt each other.
Severus stunned each man in quick succession and then levitated the pair over to the bed. This could prove quite entertaining. Severus hadn't had this much fun in years.
Severus reversed the spell on Remus just enough to let him sit up and speak. That might've been a mistake. The wolf was still angry.
"You should've told me, Severus, that you wanted Sirius. You knew how I felt about you. I told you, spilled my guts to you and wore my heart on my sleeve. You made a fool of me."
"Lupin, you do not know what you are talking about. I have no designs on the mutt. I assure you."
"But… but, then why? Why did you sleep with him?"
"You missed Albus' visit. He came bearing bad news. Lucius Malfoy is dead, killed by the Dark Lord. I must admit, I took the news rather badly and well, Black was overly sympathetic. Things happen, Lupin, things beyond anyone's control. I needed sex and Black conveniently supplied it. What more is there to say? If you'd been here, it could've been you."
"I see, any shag in the storm. I'm sorry about Lucius, but Sirius did this deliberately. He never wanted us to be together. He's sabotaged any possibility of a relationship between the two of us, and he's been doing it for years!" Remus shouted.
Severus shook his head. "I think it's time we heard from the mutt."
Severus released the spell completely from Sirius. He didn't think Black would be attacking anyone and figured it would be safe enough.
Sirius glared at both men. "Well this is a fine mess we've all gotten ourselves into."
Remus growled, "A fine mess you've gotten yourself into. Leave me out of this, you backstabbing, twofaced miserable excuse for a best friend."
Sirius looked crestfallen. "I didn't do it on purpose, Remy. Severus was upset and I was just trying to comfort him. I never even thought about sex until we woke up and I found Severus in my arms. I wasn't thinking with my head. My cock took over and did all the thinking for me. You haven't touched me since Severus moved in. It seems Severus and I both needed some relief and we couldn't bloody well count on you!"
"It seems we're all caught up in some twisted love triangle." Remus mused aloud. "I just wish someone would tell the damn truth. I have no idea how the two of you feel. Sirius, you're not exactly forthcoming with your feelings and Severus is far worse. What am I supposed to think?"
"I agree. This pregnancy has made me see things in a new light and with Lucius' passing I realize that life is too short to waste on petty rivalries and past hurt. I want to move forward and give my child a stable home."
"Then tell me what you really want, Severus?" Remus implored.
"I have feelings for you, Remus. I always have, I wish things had turned out differently when we were young."
Remus looked gobsmacked. "So you really do care for me?"
"I do."
"What about me?"
"As I recall, you just said, any port in a storm unless I'm mistaken."
"That's not what I said. Remus said that. The truth is, the time that you've been here I've come to care for you. I don't hate you anymore and I find you rather attractive in an odd sort of way."
"Why thank you for the lovely compliment." Severus smirked. "It's a wonder I haven't fallen hopelessly in love with you. Your charm is quite overwhelming at times."
Sirius couldn't hold back the laughter. His laughing even wrenched a small smile out of Remus.
Convinced that the wolf was calm, Severus flicked his wand again and released Remus from his bonds.
Once Sirius recovered from his fit of laughter, the discussion resumed. They needed to make some decisions about their future.
Remus sighed, "I love you, Sirius. You're my best friend and I've enjoyed the fringe benefits, but I also love Severus. I've been in love with him since the day we all met on the train. I'm really at a loss here. I have no idea what to do, so I suggest we leave the decision up to Severus."
"I'm fine with that. I just hate the thought of being left out in the cold. I like babies. Honestly, I do."
Severus' lips quirked up at the corners. "I might just have a solution to our dilemma. Are you willing to hear me out?"
Both men nodded their heads vehemently at Severus.
"I see nothing wrong with the three of us pooling our resources and joining together as a family."
Remus and Sirius' mouths fell open at the same time. They hadn't been expecting this. Pregnancy must've done something funny to Severus' mind. It was the only explanation.
"Are you having us on?" Sirius asked.
"No, I am not having you on. As I see it, you love Remus. Remus loves you. I love Remus. Remus loves me. You care for me and, well, I can tolerate you. You're not half bad in the sack either. This child would have three loving parents and would always be protected in the event anything should happen to one of us. I won't even mention the fact that I want Remus to shag me senseless and soon, before I explode. You have no idea what it's been like to have you near, constantly touching me but never fucking me."
Remus’ eyes glowed with an eerie fire. "I believe I can remedy that situation."
"I was hoping you would say that."
"What about me?"
"For God's sake, Black, learn a new mantra."
"Get out, Sirius."
"What?"
Remus growled. "I said get out. You had your turn. Now it's mine. We'll see you for dinner. Cook something. It will keep your mind off what's going on in here."
"You are evil, evil, evil." Sirius protested but got his arse out of there anyway. He didn't want to press his luck when Remus was in this kind of mood, better safe than sorry.
Remus’ eyes softened, as he looked at his soon to be lover. "Are you sure you want to do this, Severus? The only reason I didn't do anything before was because of the baby. I didn't want to risk hurting you. You should've said something because I really wanted you--badly."
Severus sat down on the bed and stroked Remus hand. "I know, but I've always been insecure and you were involved with the mutt."
"Never doubt that I love you," Remus said as he leaned in for their first kiss. Severus flushed slightly as Remus continued to kiss him, exploring his mouth leisurely. They repositioned themselves on the bed and Severus watched with hooded eyes as Remus removed his clothing.
As soon as Remus was naked, he divested Severus of his robe and sprawled out next to him. He mapped Severus' body with his fingertips, slowly circling his forefinger around Severus' nipples. Severus hardened at Remus' touch. He'd wanted this for so long. Finally, all his dreams were coming true.
With a sigh, Severus reached for him. 'Oh, God,' Remus thought as he caressed Severus' stomach. He manoeuvred their bodies until they were lying like spoons and he could fondle Severus' nipples while he fingered his opening.
He was so hot and tight. Remus hastily prepared Severus with a spell and slipped two fingers inside him gently. Shimmying against him, Remus rubbed his cock against the middle of Severus' back.
Slowly, they moved together. Severus hadn't spoken and Remus wasn't sure if he was thinking of him or Sirius. But, as Severus began to murmur, his fears melted away. He smiled and pushed himself hard against Severus.
"Oh, Remus," Severus sighed, rotating his bottom while still holding his hand and making sure it didn't stray from between his legs.
Suddenly, Remus' need to come became urgent. He didn't know how long he could hold on as he breached his lover's hole. Severus arched and jerked beneath his hand, muttering Remus' name and a litany of swearwords.
Moaning with impatience, Severus slammed his hips backward, impaling himself on Remus' cock. Pumping inside Severus' tight heat was exquisite, the best fuck he'd ever had, piquantly sweet and different. Within moments as Severus groaned again, Remus joined him in pleasure. They lay panting in each other's arms, sated and content. Drowsiness soon followed the afterglow and they drifted peacefully off to sleep.
~~~~~~
The war escalated quickly. Death Eater attacks increased and Harry prepared himself for the final showdown. He steeled his nerves, bolstered by the fact that he wouldn't be going into battle alone. When it became evident that Harry needed support, Dumbledore relented and Sirius and his Godson were reunited.
They had a tearful reunion. Harry had never been so happy to see anyone is all his life. Sirius told Harry everything that had happened since his fall through the veil, including the part about Severus, Remus and the baby. There really wasn't time to be shocked. They had a battle plan to work out and war to win.
Remus stayed behind to care for Severus. The time was drawing near and Severus would need at least one of his husbands with him during the birth. Severus wanted them both to be there, but Harry needed Sirius too, and if that was the only way to win the war, then so be it.
~~~~~~
As Severus went into labour, the final battle also began. With Sirius, Neville and Draco by his side, Harry faced Voldemort for the very last time. The fighting was fierce, but with the help of his friends and his Godfather, Harry succeeded beyond all expectations. Sirius took out Bellatrix while Neville took care of the damned snake. Voldemort managed to disarm Harry, but not for long. Using Draco's wand, Harry cast the final killing curse, and it was over.
The battle raged for almost ten days, but when Voldemort fell most of the Death Eaters surrendered or fled. Both sides suffered casualties, but the Death Eaters got the worst of it. What few managed to escape were soon rounded up and sent straight to Azkaban.
A triumphant Sirius and Harry Flooed home to be greeted by a beautiful, nine day old baby girl.
Sirius fell to his knees and held out his hands for the baby. Remus beamed and handed the little girl to Sirius.
Severus smirked, "It's about time you two decided to join us. Lydia Ashley Snape-Black-Lupin has been waiting anxiously to meet her other father."
Harry grinned as tears of joy slid down Sirius face. Sirius held the baby in his arms and looked into her silver-blue eyes. She had raven hair and porcelain skin just like Severus, but her eyes were pure Lucius. Sirius sighed happily. They'd all made it through the war, a true fairytale ending if there ever was one.
"Aren't you going to tell us what happened?" Remus asked.
"Harry was brilliant. He single-handedly defeated the Dark Lord."
Harry laughed, "Not single-handedly. I had a lot of help. If it weren't for Sirius, Neville and Draco, I would've failed miserably."
"Ah, my Godson, is he all right?"
"He's fine, just a few scrapes and bruises. He knows what happened. I told him the whole story and he wants to see you, Sir."
"Thank the gods," Severus sighed with relief.
He'll be arriving shortly. Do you mind if Neville joins us too? The three of us have become quite close over the past few months." Harry blushed, as Sirius gave Remus and Severus a knowing wink.
They smiled all around. It was a twisted tale of pain, hurt and comfort, but things had worked out for the best.
And here ends the tale of how Remus, Severus and Sirius became and stayed a threesome for all the rest of their days.
