Three\'s A Crowd

Part - 18

It was Thursday, one day after the talk in Headmaster Dumbledore\'s office. Remus Lupin had to go to Diagon Alley on an errand for Dumbledore. After all that had happened, the werewolf did not like leaving Severus, but he knew that Sirius would be with him. And he did not intend to be gone more then a few hours.

Malfoy would be kept busy in class all day with his twin gargoyles, and there were students everywhere. The blind Slytherin would not dare do anything under those circumstances.

Potions with the fourth year Ravenclaws was over finally over. Severus Snape was relieved. That was his last class of the day, and all he wanted to do was take a long nap before dinner.

Stalking, at least as much as he could stalk with the growing bulge of his belly, Severus moved at a good pace through the poorly lit dungeon corridor with Snuffles trotting by his side. He moved with confidence, after all, he had lived within these walls for the majority of his thirty-seven years and knew every shadow, every stone.

The pair was just passing one of the many unused rooms when they heard something. Severus froze. Snuffles stiffened also, sniffing the air. Both immediately smelled something. A disgusting reek that made Snape flinch and raised the hair on the back of his neck.

The Slytherin felt bile rise in his throat, he knew that smell. He had gotten a nose full of it Harry Potter\'s first year in a destroyed girls bathroom. \"Troll?\" He gasped.

They heard the loud thud of the slow clumsy footfalls. Severus drew his wand as the dog at his side darted towards the sound. \"Snuffles wait!\" Yelled Snape angrily. \'Bloody Gryffindor!\' He managed not to say this out loud.

\"Damn,\" He growled, but did not move. Should he go chasing after the mutt, or find Albus? Any other time he would just go after the troll himself, but his magic was starting to be affected by the drain of the pregnancy.

He had just decided to get Dumbledore when he heard a voice behind him. \"Teneo Capio!\" *. Severus felt his arms and legs pulled together and held fast. \"Mobilus Corpus!\" He was lifted gracelessly into the air and levitated into one of the dusty disused rooms.

As the door closed behind him, and he was set down gently on the filthy floor, a smiling face came into view above him. \"Do not be afraid Severus. My, associates used a few simple sensory spells as a distraction. They will dispose of that flea-ridden mongrel of Lupin\'s. You need not tremble so, I am going to save you.\"

The Head of Slytherin House could only stare at the angelic beauty with the cold stormy gray eyes. Severus Snape had no doubt in his mind, that Draco Malfoy was insane.

The pale, blond young man smile beatifically as he stroked the Professor\'s inky black hair possessively. The bound man could only stare, unable to suppress a shiver. \"You belong to me now. Once I get rid of those things inside you and replace them with my child, everything will be perfect.\"

\"Please Draco, you cannot do this!\"

\"Of course I can Professor. It is my duty! Just look at yourself!\" Draco\'s eyes were wild as he pushed Severus into the wall. \"A once proud Slytherin reduced to begging for the lives of Gryffindor bastards forced on you by that flea bitten werewolf!\" Malfoy hissed, looking Severus in the eyes. \"\"He has been fucking you too, the filthy beast!\" He grabbed a hand full of hair. \"I have seen him touch you. You smile at him.\"

\"Draco, you are mistaken.\" Severus said slowly. \"I can explain.\"

\"I am not blind. If you had not been afraid of getting caught you would have spread your legs for him there in the hall!\"

\"You must listen to me Draco. Lupin does touch me, that is true. I had no choice but to act as if I did not mind. Dumbledore wants me to accept the relationship with his pet Gryffindor. I have no feelings for that damned wolf.\" Severus kept his voice even.

He was very adept at lying.

\"It is alright sir. I understand why you let him take you. Your father said you were nothing but a whore. In fact, when I bought you, I hoped that you were. I have wanted to fuck you for years. And now you belong to me.\"

\"You bought me?\" Gasped Severus in disbelief.

\"I contacted your father as soon as I heard what they did to you.\" Draco stroked his teacher\'s hair. \"Since you are a disgrace to your family name, your father had every right to sell you. Dumbledore should not have stuck his big nose into my business.\" Malfoy growled. \"Your father sold you to me. By the way, he is a terrible businessman. I would have paid twice what he asked. Then that piece of shite father of yours had the nerve to come crawling to me and tell me that Dumbledore forced him to give you to Lupin. The stupid bastard actually thought that he could go back on his word to a Malfoy.\"

Severus blinked twice before the words sank in belied by the beatific smile on the young man\'s face. \"You, killed my father?\" It was more shock then anything else. He had of course known that his father was dead, mutilated. But to hear that this boy was the one that killed him, and that the sick child was now fixated on him.

Sirius followed the vile scent deeper into the darkness. His only thought that there was something dangerous threatening Severus. The Gryffindor knew that he had to destroy the threat.

The stench was overpowering. But still he did not see it. Where was the creature?

As he turned a corner, he heard a shout of, \"Avada Kadavera!\"

Black dodged to his left, the green light narrowly missing him. He bounded off the wall and struck a solid mass in the darkness. There was a sickening crack, the sound of a skull being split against the stone.

\"Incendio!\" The spell grazed the dog, flames licked at his fur.

\"Extinguish!\" Albus Dumbledore\'s voice almost shook the walls as a blue light struck the flames, quenching them instantly. \"Petrificus Totalis!\" He roared. A body stiffened and fell to the floor.

\"Lumos!\" Light poured from the Headmaster\'s wand, revealing the stiff form of Gregory Goyle, and in a pool of blood, the limp, lifeless body of Vincent Crab. \"Sirius,\" said the Headmaster hoarsely. \"Where is Severus?\"

\"Do not let his death disturb your sensibilities Severus. Your father only got what he deserved.\" Draco said with a smirk. \"Do not worry. Before he realized that I intended to kill him, he told me all about the curse. He did the right thing, you know, just for the wrong person. But it is all right Severus, I know what to do.\" The blond took a vial from his robes. \"My father used this potion all the time with his mistresses when they let themselves get pregnant. It will flush those vermin out of you without any damage. Then I will use some more of the Maternis potion on you. You will carry my child, a pure blood baby. And you will have to obey me. It will be just as it should have been in the first place!\"

\"Draco, please, you cannot do this!\"

\"Yes I can, I have a port key. I can take you to my mansion and be back before Care of Magical Creatures.\" The young man took a small round piece of rose quartz from his robes. \"You never wanted to teach. Now you will not have to. You can live in the dungeons of the manor. You will never have to leave them.\" The beatific smile was terrifying. \"The house elves will look after you until I graduate in a few months. Then we can be together forever.\"

\"But I am ordered by the Dark Lord to spy on Dumbledore!\"

\"That is no longer your role. You really are not a very good spy. No offence meant Severus, you were good in your day, but Dumbledore made you soft. Our Lord was happy to give you to me. After all, you have not given him any useful information for months. And he had begun to suspect your loyalties.\"

\"Draco, listen to me, you are very ill,\" Severus said softly. \"Release me, let me help you.\"

The young Slytherin chuckled at his teacher\'s distress. \"Everything will be fine. All I must do is say the words, and we will be in Malfoy Manor. Then we can begin our new life.\" Draco reached down to grab Severus\' arm.

But before he could touch his cringing professor, the door was blown off its hinges!

Draco was slammed into the wall by the force of the door hurtling into his relatively small body. Snuffles and Albus Dumbledore entered, not even looking at Malfoy. \"Severus, are you hurt?\" Dumbledore said touching his cheek.

The massive black dog whimpered and rubbed against the bound man\'s side. \"Sirius, you must change, he needs you as a man,\" Said the Headmaster using wandless magic to release Severus from the spell. The dog continued to whimper. \"Sirius Black, Severus needs you now.\"

It took a moment for hard voice to penetrate his confused mind. Changing back to his human form as Dumbledore turned and whispered the spell to lift the door off of Draco Malfoy\'s broken body.

The blond Slytherin breathed, but only just.

\"Severus?\" Black gasped, and almost fell when Severus leapt into his arms. The other man was trembling violently.

\"Use the floo, take him to the hospital!\" Ordered Dumbledore.

\"No!\" Severus clung to Sirius. \"Take me home! My room.\" Dumbledore ran his wand over Snape. He closed his eyes for a moment as if in concentration, then said quickly. \"He is close to shock, but otherwise he and the babies are unharmed. Take him to his room and keep him warm. I will send word to Remus.\"

Black nodded and helped Severus to the fireplace. He took the floo powder in his left hand and said, \"Severus Snape\'s room.\" Then the men were both swallowed by the green flame.

Severus was still shaking. Sirius tried a bit awkwardly to comfort him. \"Remus will be here as soon as Dumbledore can find him.\" Assured Black.

\"He knew Remus had gone.\" Severus whispered, burying his face in Sirius Black\'s shoulder. \"That is why Malfoy chose to act today.\"

\"It will be alright.\" Black found his hand rubbing the other man\'s tense back. He could feel the vertebrae protruding beneath the thick material of his robes. A little touch of anger came through. Was no one making Snape eat?

\"You will not leave me, will you Sirius?\" The words sounded almost desperate.

\"I will not go anywhere until Remus returns.\" Assured Sirius. \"You should lay down.\" \'Before you fall down.\' Black noted, trying to conceal the concern he felt. The man in his arms looked on the verge of collapse. \"I can turn back into Snuffles if you want. We should...\" That was as far as he got, when he was kissed.

Black blinked as he looked at Severus Snape, the \'greasy git\' that he had despised for as long as he had known him, man and boy. Why in all of the time they had known and hated one another had Sirius never noticed how exquisitely beautiful those deep black eyes were? How elegant the long fingers of the hands that gripped his shoulders? How desirable his...

Sirius shook his head to remove the haze of desire that threatened to engulf him. \"Severus...\" The name tasted like honey on his tongue. The dreams that haunted him every night spilled into his waking mind. \"I want you so badly.\"

\"Then what are you waiting for?\" That low voice went straight to Sirius Black\'s groin. He almost came at the breathless request.

\"We should not.\" Sirius tried to regain some control. \"Besides, you can hardly stand to be in the same room with me.\"

\"The reason that I did not want to be in the same room with you when you were human was so that I would not throw myself at you.\" Severus Snape whispered his mouth catching Black\'s. \"I need you!\"

---


A short time later, Remus Lupin hit the door to Severus\' chamber at a run. Albus\' owl had caught him as he ate lunch at the Leaky Cauldron. The note told him of Draco Malfoy\'s attempt to kidnap Severus and kill his children. Anger, fear, concern all filled him as the werewolf threw open the door to the bedroom.

He froze at the sight that greeted him.

Severus was naked, on his back, hand gripping the headboard. His hair was splayed out around his head like a black halo. Remus almost came on himself as his mate threw his head back with a low incredibly sexy moan of pure pleasure.

The reason for the moan was obvious. Sirius Black was on his knees between Severus\' long legs, hands on his hips with his cock pushed in to the hilt. There was a look of pure rapture on Sirius Black\'s face as he pounded into the man he contemptuously called \'Snivellous.\'

Unable to do anything but watch them both climax, Remus could also could not find his voice as they panted, eyes locked together exchanging some deep secret between them.

Then Severus became aware that they were not alone, his black eyes turning towards the intruder. \"Remus,\" Severus said softly.

Sirius was startled when he saw his friend, standing in the doorway. He went completely red faced. Then suddenly Black realized that he was still sheathed inside the man beneath him. He pulled out quickly and scramble off the bed. \"Remus, I, we...\" He was surprised when his friend ignored him completely and went straight to bed.

\"Severus, was what happened here consensual? Did he use the curse to force you?\"

\"I begged him.\" Severus admitted, those black eyes half closed, sated. \"I needed him.\"

\"You have needed him for a long time.\" Remus stroked his hair. \"I am just sorry it took something like this for you to realize it.\"

\"That seems to be the only way that it can get through to me,\" Sighed Severus, head bowed. \"Malfoy was insane, I knew that he was confused. That Lucius\' death had affected him badly, but what he did to my father...\"

\"There was nothing that you could have done to save you father.\"

\"I hated my father,\" Severus gasped, starting to shake again. He sounded as if he were disgusted with himself. \"I am glad the bastard is dead.\"

\"Severus, you did not cause it. Do not accept the blame. You have a right to hate him, but...\"

Severus stood suddenly, hand on the bulge of his belly. Oddly, he seemed unconcerned about his state of undress. The black haired man looked at Remus and Sirius with a strangely open expression. \"I know that Sirius told you what the bastard did to me. My father forced me to prostitute myself for him. He made me hate sex, hate my body. To be revolted at the thought of anyone touching it.\"

\"Severus, I am so sorry.\" Whispered Remus.

\"Do not be. It is over now.\" He looked over at the men he had once hated. \"I thank you both for that.\"

\"Our pleasure.\" Sirius blushed slightly.

Severus continued dark eyes unfocused, as if he were speaking to himself instead of the men before him. \"Since the curse was placed on me, I have done something that I have not done since I was sixteen. I felt arousal at the thought of having sex. My dreams have been filled with thoughts of the two of you and Harry Potter touching me, taking me. It was frightening at first. But, it was also, thrilling. I actually wanted someone to touch me.\"

\"The dreams were mutual.\" Said Remus, never taking his eyes from Severus Snape.

\"I need all three of you. Potter is fighting it, not that I blame him,\" Severus sighed as he sat down on the bed between them. \"But until he comes around, please, touch me.\"

Sirius was in his arms in a heartbeat. Remus took longer. He quickly stripped off his clothes, then climbed back into the bed. The three of them snuggled together, nuzzling and caressing one another. It was oddly non-sexual as the two Gryffindors ran their hands over Severus\' body in a way that was relaxing, comforting. They could not get enough of caressing his skin.

As they snuggled together Remus said with a smirk. \"So, is it puppy pile time?\"
