Mates

A man with blue eyes like sapphires looked up at a council of robed people awaiting their decision. He had been going through testing since he fell through the veil and was trying to get back to the people he loved. While he wanted to go to the man he had secretly loved since they were children. At the same time he wanted to go back and fulfill his promise to this same man and protect the man’s child.

That’s right he had been in love with his best friend who was married to someone else.

“We have reached a decision. Seeing as you fell though before you time to go we will grant your request to go back. However you will be taking someone back with you. This person was a submissive elf and died years ago. He had been denying the bond so not to disappoint people. You were meant to be his mate and he pushed the bond aside to produce what Albus Dumbledore said would be the prophesy child. This child produced came into his Elvin inheritance when he reached the age of twenty. He will need to know about Elvin bonds, which is one of the reasons we are sending him back. The other reason is to give him the chance to be with his true mate.”

“Who is this man?” The man asked.

“Hello Padfoot.” Sirius Black spun and almost lost control of him when he saw the person he loved standing there, his best friend James Potter.

“You?” Sirius asked upon seeing his best friend. Praying they fates weren’t playing a trick on him.

“Albus told me and Lily we had to have a child as they would be the one to destroy Voldemort. We were married that night, the night I was going to tell you about my being part elf and you being my mate.” James said as tears fell from his eyes. The fear of rejection was easy to see in the blue eyes.

“You did what you had to do for our world and gave it Harry. I wouldn’t change that kid for the world.” Sirius said as he pulled his love closer and gently covered the man’s lips.

When they broke apart they found themselves standing in the Forbidden Forest.

Remus Lupin had been trying to calm his vampire mate Severus Snape for a while now. It was becoming increasingly harder to do as the two had felt a third mate come into their inheritance a couple of weeks ago. The two were naturally dominates, but could be submissive for each other. This new mate was a submissive and Remus had been having trouble controlling the wolf that was fighting to get control and claim its mate.

Severus was even worse as he fed from his mates and craved the blood of the submissive. While he could feed from Remus, he wanted to have the blood of the submissive.

The two were startled when they ran into two people they thought were dead, Sirius Black and James Potter.

Harry sat staring at the letter he had gotten from Dumbledore. The man wanted him to come and assist with the teaching of the DADA class. He wanted to take the position, but wasn’t sure how his roommates would take that. He didn’t have to worry about quitting his job, as he didn’t work. He was careful with how he spent his inheritance as he didn’t want to run out and wasn’t ready to leave his daughter yet. Harry had just turned 20 a month ago and his daughter was a year and four months old.

On the morning of his 20th birthday he had been shocked to find his ears had become pointed, his skin lighter, and he no longer needed his glasses. He could also feel a pull toward something, but didn’t know what.

He helped Dean and Seamus with the bills and the two help him raise his daughter. Brooklyn Lily Potter, Brook for short, had been born April 20th and had been doted on by her daddy and godfathers since she had come into the world.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a small cry come from his room in their flat. Getting up he went to his daughter. He couldn’t help but smile when she stopped crying upon seeing him. She had his black hair and skin color and pretty much everything was him, except her eyes they were her other father's. She stood in her crib and reached her chubby arms so he would pick her up and hold her. She loved when he would cuddle with her.

“Come on you, uncles Seamus and Dean should be home soon and we are going to have to have a talk with them.” He said as he cuddled her to his chest.

The teaching staff of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry listened to the story of how Sirius and James were allowed to come back and were shocked with what they heard. James Potter was an elf and so was his son. When everything was finished it was decided James would help Minerva teach and Sirius would help Flitwik. The teachers had asked why Albus didn’t just have one of them help Remus with DADA and were shocked when they heard he had already offered the job to someone else.

They had all decided to have two people teaching the classes because after the first time Voldemort had been defeated many people in the magical community had started having children again and the number of students had practically doubled.

“So he wants you to teach?” Dean asked after Harry had told them about the job offer. “Well if you take it we get visitation rights to this little angel.” He said as he tickled the little girl on his lap. The two had grown fond of having Harry and Brook there and didn’t want the two to leave. They also knew Harry wanted to teach and didn’t want to be what was holding him back.

“You know you want this. I think you should take it, we can always visit you and her.” Seamus said as he smiled at his friend. He just wanted Harry to be happy and knew Harry would stay if they wanted him to, which they did, but would never tell him that.

“You guys sure you won’t mind us leaving.” The three had gotten used to each other.

“We knew this wasn’t going to be permanent. Sure we love having you here, but you need to do what you want.” Dean said. “That doesn’t mean we are going to just stop seeing each other.”

Harry then decided to take the job

Albus was shocked to walk into his office and see someone sitting across from his desk.

“Can I help you?” He asked and was surprised when the person turned around revealing a 20-year-old Harry Potter and a little girl.

“Hi Professor. I came to give you my answer about the job.” Harry said smiling at his mentor. While playing with his daughter.

“Well, will you come work for us?” Albus asked unable to keep the hope out of his voice. He wanted to have his favorite student back.

“You don’t mind having my daughter here do you?” Harry said as he smoothed the little girls hair.

“Not at all, I am sure we could set something up where they teachers who aren’t teaching can take her for you.” Albus said smiling at the little girl. He could tell by the eyes her other father must have been Draco Malfoy. He just wondered what happened between Harry and the other boy.

“Then I will take it.” Harry said with a smile.

“Wonderful. I will send a house elf to pack up your things. You may have the DADA professor’s quarters as Remus sleeps in Severus’.” Albus said not seeing how the smile seemed to sadden a bit at the mention of that. “Harry there is something else you should know.” Then Albus proceeded to tell Harry what Sirius and James had told the rest of the staff.

Harry had been shocked by what Albus had told him, and vowed not to believe it until he could see them for himself. Right now he was standing outside the DADA classroom door trying to get up the nerve to go in and face the man he still had a crush on.

The wolf was going insane. It could smell its submissive mate and wanted nothing more that to claim it. Judging by how strong the scent was his mate was close. Just then the door opened and the scent became over powering. Remus was shocked to see Harry walk in with a diaper-bag on his shoulder and a little girl on his hip.

“Hey Moony.” Harry said with a shy smile. The man was just as he remembered. He could feel the power rolling off him and found himself wondering what it would be like to have the man holding him, kissing him, making love to him. He knew he had to stop thinking these things before he became aroused.

“Harry?” Remus asked just barely holding the wolf below the surface.

“Yeah, this is my daughter Brook by the way.” Harry said as the little girl snuggled into him. It was almost naptime for her.

He stated to walk into the room and was surprised when he heard Remus growl. He stopped when he heard that and began to wonder if he should run. He main thought was to keep his daughter safe. He knew running would only endanger them, as the wolf would give chase.

It was then he heard a voice he never thought he would hear again.

Sirius was shocked when he heard his friend growl at the man standing in the doorway and even more so when he recognized who the person was. He could see Remus was having trouble controlling the wolf and knew he had to get Harry out of there. He then remembered what his friend had told him about how Remus and Severus had another mate who was a submissive for both them. That had to be Harry.

James had told him that with werewolves and vampires when they mated to each other they would eventually need a natural submissive. His friend’s was his godson.

“Harry!” He yelled and felt James’ hand squeeze his out of shock. When Harry turned to look at him he was shocked to see the little girl in his godson’s arms. “Don’t move.” He walked slowly up to Harry so Remus wouldn’t think he was a threat to his small mate. When he got close enough he said, “Give me the baby, but don’t move to quickly. The wolf is in control and recognizes you as its mate.” When he saw the look of apprehension in Harry’s face he changed into his animagus form and looked to see that James had done the same thing. Of course Harry would be careful whom he handed the baby in his arms to.

“But I thought Snape was his mate.” Harry said as he did as his godfather told him and handed his daughter over once he was sure the two where who they looked to be, you couldn’t fake an animagus transformation, and it was better to get her away from the werewolf.

“He is, but it was found that recently a submissive came into their inheritance. Harry you are part elf, a submissive one. Now the two will not rest until you have been claimed as theirs.” James said as his mate handed the little girl to him. He could see his son was scared. This was not how he wanted to meet his son again.

Harry was glad he had read about werewolf bonds. It was then he realized something his dad said, “theirs?”

James nodded while talking calmly, “Severus is a vampire.” While he didn’t like Severus in school he had gotten to know him now that he was mated to his friend and found he liked the man … a little.

Good thing he had read about those as well. “You guys are going to have to get out of here. I don’t want my daughter to see this. I know what is going to happen, it’s ok, and I’m ok with this.” He was too; he had been in love with the two.

James and Sirius knew there was nothing they could do and could see the werewolf was getting agitated by their presence. “We will come find you later?” Sirius said as the two began backing away.

Harry just nodded. When the two went around the corner he was shocked when two strong arms closed around his waist.
