Union of Three

Chapter 14

Harry awoke nestled snugly between two blondes. Purring drowsily, he nuzzled his face into the fall of blonde hair in front of him and smiled sleepily when he felt the blonde behind him do the same. He started to stretch but quickly rethought that idea when every muscle in his body protested the movement. Harry suddenly became aware of the pressing need to relieve his bladder and slowly untangled himself from his mates’ grasp. His legs felt weak and unsteady as he crawled from the bed and stood on his own. He wobbled carefully to the bathroom, wincing with every step he took.

Harry washed his hands and stared at his reflection, searching his features for some sign of change from his pregnancy. He wasn’t very surprised to see how pale he’d become, and the dark circles under his eyes gave testimony to the exhaustion he that felt even now. “Remind me to never get hit with that particular curse ever again. Oh, and don’t ever let a Dark Lord turn you into a horcrux ever again. It’s hell on the body,” Harry muttered sarcastically to his reflection. His reflection just smirked and arched an eyebrow, so Harry ignored the reflection and hobbled over to the bath. Turning on the water, he searched the shelves for the bath salts to add to the water. “Aha,” he said softly, pouring a generous amount into his steamy bath. He climbed into the bath, sighing delightedly as his muscles quit screaming at him.

As Harry relaxed in his bath, he thought about his recent meeting with his mother and Sirius. He still couldn’t quite believe that he’d gotten to see and speak to his mother again. He was a little saddened to realise that she only ever appeared when his life was in danger and he was in no position to enjoy the experience. The last time he’d seen her was when his and Voldemort’s wands had connected during their duel.

Seeing Sirius had hit Harry hard. On one hand, he was totally overjoyed that he’d gotten to speak to godfather one last time, but on the other hand, Sirius’ absence was felt even more strongly now. Of all the loved ones he’d lost, Sirius was probably the one he missed the most. Sirius had been his saving grace, his beacon of hope, the one bright light in a life full of darkness. It had almost destroyed Harry when he saw the man fall through the veil and realised that something so simple had in fact killed his beloved godfather. Only his fierce determination to destroy Voldemort so that the snake-faced bastard couldn’t hurt another loved one kept Harry from giving up.

Harry’s thoughts turned to his daughter. He smiled and rubbed his stomach as he remembered his first glimpse of his little faerie princess. He was still amazed that this tiny life was growing within his body, and his determination to protect his little girl only fueled his resolution to destroy Voldemort completely. Harry absolutely refused to even consider the notion that his parents’ murderer would win the war because now Harry truly had something to fight for, and that made all the difference. Content with his resolutions, Harry relaxed in his bath, dozing lightly as the water worked its magic on his overtaxed body, blissfully unaware of the havoc his absence had created.

Severus muttered to himself the whole way up the stairs to Harry’s bedroom. He checked on Harry twice a day to monitor his progress and feed him the nutrient potion with a dose of Lucius and Draco’s blood in it, and twice a day everyone asked him when Harry would awaken. It didn’t matter how many times he told them he didn’t know- they still continued to ask. He even told them that the brat just needed time to recover and sleep was the most effective way for that to happen, but to no avail.

“But it’s already been three days. Shouldn’t he be awake by now?” whined Severus mockingly, mimicking the incessant protests he’d heard the past three days. “I hate it for them, but it could be another three days before the brat’s ready to wake up.”

Severus knocked on the door and waited for a reply. After several seconds of silence, he slowly opened the door and peered cautiously around the edge. He frowned when he didn’t immediately see the messy mop of black hair and crept closer to the bed. Severus groaned, seeing the empty space between Lucius and Draco, and scanned the room quickly for any sign of the missing brunette. Them room was totally silent except for the slow, even breathing of the two sleeping blondes on the bed.

“Lucius, wake up,” said Severus, shaking Lucius’ shoulder firmly. He rolled his eyes when Lucius simply batted his hand away and rolled over. “Harry’s missing.”

“What?” asked Lucius sleepily, attempting to pull Harry closer to him. He bolted upright with panic when he didn’t feel his mate in the bed with him. “Where’s Harry?”

“That’s why I woke you,” said Severus, rolling his eyes in exasperation. “Harry’s not in the room. He wasn’t here when I came to check on him.”

“Draco, get up,” snapped Lucius, smacking Draco on the head. Draco jerked awake and glared at Lucius for waking him so rudely. Lucius just ignored the glare and quickly pulled on his trousers. When Draco didn’t get out of the bed immediately, Lucius forcibly pulled him from the bed despite the indignant squawks the move provoked. “Harry’s gone. Don’t you want to find him?”

“What do you mean Harry’s gone? He was right here in the bed with us,” said Draco incredulously, looking at the bed as though he couldn’t believe that Harry wasn’t there sleeping soundly.

“Get dressed so you can help us find him,” snapped Lucius impatiently, throwing a pair of trousers to the dazed blonde.

“We have to find him,” whispered Draco, looking a little lost. “We just got him back. He was supposed to wake up any day, and now he’s just gone.”

“We’ll find him, son,” said Lucius determinedly. He would destroy the person who had taken his mate from him.

The news of Harry’s disappearance did not go over so well. Ron immediately accused Lucius and Draco of failing to protect his best friend and stormed from the room. Hermione glared at the two blondes and informed them that she would search the second floor for her friend.

“Well, that went better than I expected,” said Lucius wryly.

“I don’t think he’s left the house,” said Remus quietly, sniffing the air for Harry’s familiar scent. “Maybe he woke up on his own.”

“I could always send Kali to find him and bring him here,” offered Dougal with a smirk.

“Fuck, why didn’t I think of that?” asked Lucius, smacking himself on the forehead. He quickly opened a portal and disappeared through it. Draco quickly followed suit and opened his own portal.

“You know something don’t you?” asked Remus, staring at Dougal.

The vampire had smirked the entire time Lucius and Draco were in the room as if he knew the secrets to the universe. “I knew the moment Harry woke,” said Dougal smugly. “The kitten has an amazing amount of power, and I’ve gotten to where I can tell the difference between his resting power and active power.”

“And you didn’t tell Lucius and Draco this?” asked Severus curiously.

“It’s amusing to see the haughty Malfoys so flustered, and they only do that when it involves Harry,” said Dougal with a teasing grin.

Lucius stepped out of the portal and found himself in the bathroom connecting to his bedroom. He saw a glimpse of disheveled black hair and hurried in that direction. Harry was dozing peacefully in the bath, and from the feel of the cool water, he\'d been there for quite a while.

\"He\'s been in here the whole time, hasn\'t he?\" asked Draco quietly, startling Lucius with sudden appearance. Lucius hadn\'t even noticed that Draco was in the room, his entire focus being on the sleeping brunette.

\"I imagine he has,\" said Lucius wryly. \"He\'s probably been asleep in here the entire time we were frantically searching for him, completely oblivious to the panic he created.\"

\"Well, if he\'s just going to sleep some more, we may as well put him back in the bed,\" said Draco, grabbing a towel to wrap around Harry. Lucius lifted Harry from the bath while Draco quickly dried the sleeping boy and wrapped a dry towel around the brunette.

Harry woke from his nap as Lucius carried him towards the bed. \"I don\'t wanna go back to bed,\" whinged Harry, rubbing his eyes sleepily. \"I wanna stay right here. Is comfy.\" He rubbed his cheek and nose against Lucius\' chest like the kitten he was nicknamed, feeling safe, warm, and comfortable in his mate\'s arms.

Lucius simply melted at the admission. He sat in the armchair in front of the fireplace and smiled as Harry curled on his lap contentedly. \"Why didn\'t you wake us when you got up, kitten?\" asked Lucius quietly, stroking Harry\'s back soothingly. \"We were afraid something had happened to you.\"

\"I just needed to use the loo,\" said Harry sheepishly. \"I was going to come right back, but then I thought that a bath would help ease my sore muscles. Of course, then I fell asleep. Just how did my muscles get so sore in the first place? Was it that curse Voldemort hit me with? And just what was that curse? I\'ve never seen it before.\"

“The ‘cruciatus capitas,’” said Lucius gravely. “The Dark Lord created this variation of the cruciatus curse to specifically target the brain. Unlike the original cruciatus, the cruciatus capitas has a set time limit- one minute. When I brought you here, you had massive internal bleeding to the brain and had already slipped into a coma. Severus repaired what damage he could, but there was nothing we could do about the coma.\"

\"Geez, it\'s a wonder I\'m still living,\" said Harry, horrified to realise just how close he\'d come to dying once again because of that snake-faced bastard. \"I guess that\'s why you went ahead with the purification ritual. You weren\'t sure when I would wake up and we\'re kinda short on time, right?\"

\"Yes, and that\'s another reason your muscles are so sore,\" said Draco quietly. \"I hope you know you almost gave me a heart attack. We were about halfway through the purification chant when you went into convulsions. Then you just went motionless. We thought you had died when suddenly you arched your back, and this black mist came out of your mouth and exploded. After that, you fell into a deep sleep and have been that way for the last three days. I was beginning to think you would never wake up.”

\"I saw my mother and Sirius while I was in the coma,\" whispered Harry, twisting his hands together nervously. “They helped me defeat Voldemort’s soul when he tried to take over my daughter\'s body.”

“Daughter? How did you..? How the hell did you know you were pregnant, and how do you know it’s a daughter?” asked Draco, staring at Harry incredulously.

\"You mean you actually had to fight against Voldemort while we were doing the purification ritual?\" Lucius demanded, overriding Draco\'s excited babble.

\"Yes,\" said Harry softly. \"He almost managed to defeat me when he started squeezing my heart, but I was able to stab him in the chest with the Gryffindor sword before he could kill me. Then he just exploded.\"

\"That must have been why you went into convulsions,\" said Lucius, hugging Harry closer as the reality of his kitten\'s near death experience sank in. \"Then this black misty substance came out of your mouth and exploded in the room. So, while we were fighting out here, you were fighting in here,\" he said, stroking over Harry\'s heart. \"You are truly amazing.\"

\"Daughter?\" prompted Draco, feeling a little left out.

“Mum showed her to me,” said Harry, smiling gently at the memory. “She’s going to be absolutely gorgeous. She’ll have my black hair with a tuft of pale blonde right at her temple, but she’ll have the Malfoy grey eyes. Oh, and she’ll have pointy ears when she’s born.”

\"A little girl,\" said Lucius huskily. \"It\'s the first Malfoy girl we\'ve had in the family for generations. Now we\'ll have to think of the perfect name.\"

\"I was thinking about Taryn Odette Malfoy,\" Harry interjected. \"What do you think?\"

“I think I love you more than life itself, and Taryn Odette Malfoy is absolutely perfect,” said Lucius simply, pressing a gently kiss to Harry\'s lips.

\"My turn,\" said Draco, pulling Harry into his arms. He settled into the chair with Harry and rubbed the brunette\'s belly with rapt fascination. \"I can\'t believe our little girl is growing in there.\"

\"What if it\'s Lucius\' daughter?\" asked Harry hesitantly, knowing full well that she was.

\"Doesn\'t matter,\" said Draco instantly. \"She\'s a Malfoy regardless. She\'ll just have two blonde daddies and a beautiful brunette mum.\"

\"Hey!\" yelped Harry, glaring at Draco. \"I am not now nor have I ever been a female. She\'ll just have two fathers and a daddy.\"

\"Nope, that\'s not the way it works,\" said Draco teasingly. \"You\'re giving birth to her, so technically, you are in fact her mother. And you make such a gorgeous mother, too. I can\'t wait until you\'re further along with a cute little rounded belly.\"

\"You are absolutely insane. You know that, don\'t you?\" asked Harry dryly. \"Only you would look forward to your mate getting fat.\"

\"That\'s just not true,\" said Lucius, joining the conversation. \"I, too, look forward to seeing you rounded with my child.\"

\"Really?\" asked Harry softly.

“Harry, we love you. We’ll continue to love you no matter what,” said Draco, lifting Harry’s face and kissing his mate. It had been too long since he’d gotten to hold Harry like this- four days in fact. The kiss quickly deepened, becoming more and more heated with every second with tongues rubbing together and dueling for dominance.

Lucius, who had been watching the heated kiss, was becoming uncomfortably aroused and decided it was time for him to join in the fun. They were going to have to be careful, though, because Harry was still a little weak. But that’s okay. He was more than willing to do most of the work. Lucius stood and stepped closer to Harry and Draco, stepping out of his trousers as he did. Pulling Harry’s face towards him and ignoring Draco’s growl as his kiss was interrupted, Lucius kissed the dazed brunette demandingly. Before Draco could protest further, Lucius lifted Harry into his arms and sat back in the armchair, pulling off Harry’s towel along the way.

“Hmmm,” purred Harry as Lucius licked the point of his ear, shivering as the pleasure just rushed to his cock. He moaned softly when Lucius tugged on his right nipple, watching as Draco finally got tired of being left out.

Draco almost ripped his pants in his haste to remove the offending clothing. Of course, it didn’t help that his attention was focused entirely on Harry. He couldn’t help but watch. His mate was simply breathtaking when he was all flushed with passion. Draco finally tossed his trousers in the corner and fell to his knees before Harry, burying his face in the brunette’s stomach and kissing the flesh housing the newest Malfoy.

“I missed this, kitten,” said Lucius, sliding a lubricated finger into Harry’s tight entrance. “Missed the way you gasp and moan as I thrust into your deliciously tight body..” He added another finger, smiling ferally as Harry gasped at the increased fullness and rocked against the invading fingers. “- how you scream my name as I pound your little pleasure button relentlessly..” Lucius added a third finger and jabbed Harry’s prostate, eliciting a scream as a jolt of pleasure rushed through his body. “- how your body ripples around my cock when you finally succumb to your release.” Harry positively howled when Draco swallowed his dick to the root and came, body tightening to the point of pain around Lucius’ still thrusting fingers.

Lucius, not giving Harry any time to come down from his pleasure high, pulled out his fingers and replaced them with a hard thrust of his cock, burying his dick to the root in Harry’s still clenching arse. He grasped both of Harry’s thighs, holding the brunette’s legs high and wide, and lunged forcefully into his kitten’s helplessly open body.

Draco watched with lust filled eyes as he fisted his aching dick to the same rhythm Lucius was thrusting into their mate. He couldn’t hold back anymore when Harry reached down and wrapped his hand around his leaking cock. Draco threw his head back and shouted Harry’s name, his semen splashing onto Harry’s heaving stomach and trembling thighs. Of course, the sight of Harry covered with his seed got him hard as a steel pike in no time at all. He brushed Harry’s hand away and licked the boy’s stomach clean of his semen.

“Gods, Draco,” gasped Harry, burying his hands in Draco’s hair. He suddenly pulled Draco away from his stomach and pulled him into a deep kiss, thrusting his tongue eagerly into Draco’s mouth. Breaking the kiss with a loud moan, Harry buried his face in Draco’s neck as Lucius pounded his prostate with ruthless precision. He suddenly buried his fangs in Draco’s neck, causing the blonde to howl and cum once more. At the first taste of Draco’s blood on his tongue, Harry growled and came, arse clenching around Lucius’ thrusting shaft, causing him to roar and lunge harder as he spilled his seed into the warm depths of his mate’s body.

Harry finally pulled his fangs out of Draco’s neck, licking the blood off his lips. “Well, I feel better now. Anyone up for seconds?” asked Harry, smiling cheekily at his mates’ disbelieving looks.
