Notes: Another random story idea…maybe not so random inspired by the conceiving of Merlin…
A/N: Anyone interested in a prequel that showcases the Slytherins in this story before it began- especially those interested in Adrian and Blaise can read 'The Snake and the Eagle'. However it's only prequel until I catch up to 'this story and then of course it'll be a side story. It pretty much shows what being in Slytherin was like during the first few books...
Chapter 28
Lucius was drinking scotch while discussing investments with Sirius when Amelia showed up twisting her hands.
Lucius rose and frowned, “What is it?”
“Susan just went into labour…”
Sirius frowned, “She can’t be that far along…”
“She hasn’t been bonded yet. It was scheduled for the twenty-first. We thought we had time.”
“Well, that does mean that the little girl can’t inherit.” Lucius frowned.
“I had hoped that I wouldn’t need to have children.” The Head of the Bones family sighed, “You were bonded to Narcissa and I buried all of Edgar’s children.”
“You’ll need someone to inherit. I would be honoured if you would take me as your bonded. As Head of our own Houses perhaps, on similar terms to that of my niece and her bonded.” Lucius bowed low over her hand.
Remus entered the room waving a thick book, “I’ve got it!”
“You have what?” Sirius frowned.
“All the information on Lilitheans we should ever need by Lady Rowena herself. It has the anti-Lilithean ward as well as how they came to be and how to capture one.” Remus smirked.
“What are they?” Amelia frowned sufficiently distracted from her worries for her niece.
“Twisted or Cursed Veela who feed on the sex of others like leech. They are no longer human like anymore, almost pure magic so it is easy for them to impregnate those whom they feed on. How they chose who to impregnate varies. This Lilithean impregnate only those sexually attracted to one another.” Remus was excited.
“How do you trap one?”
“With the proper bait.” Remus smirked, “This Lilithean is attracted to couples who are sexually attracted by have some barrier. I think we have just the pairs to use as bait provided that we have their consent.”
“Which couples would they be?” Lucius frowned.
“Well I hoped we might convince you and Amelia to assist us. I hoped that we might convince Gideon and Arcturus to help us. I think Severus, Andromeda, Ted and myself will be all we need to spring the traps.”
“Do they have weaknesses?” Amelia asked.
“They are mere shadows but they can be trapped and blinded. Apparently, the Lilithean traps are based on demon traps. The Veela Court during Rowena’s queenship commissioned research into Lilitheans and how to trap them. They were asked to investigate when a young virgin Veela conceived and a Lilithean was accused. While they couldn’t trace the Lilithean they learned much about them. Lilitheans are to be handed over to the Veela Court for sentencing. If Lucius is involved in its capture perhaps, we shall not get in much trouble. I am sure that he would be rewarded for his part in capturing a Lilithean.”
Amelia frowned, “I’m not comfortable with being bait for such a creature. However as a Governor I shall do my part to protect the children of Hogwarts.”
Lucius nodded, “As will I. How did you come by such a find?”
“Madam Lovegood flooed when it revealed itself. She believed it was under a time ward and revealed itself when it was needed most. There are tales that Lady Rowena was a seer.” Remus smirked.
“Make the arrangements for the traps and we’ll do our best to help.” Amelia sighed.
“Seven tomorrow evening is still fine for Harry’s caesarean isn’t it?” Sirius asked.
Lucius nodded.
“Then we will see that Harry is brought to St. Mungos around four.” Sirius sighed, “I don’t remember things being so complicated when Harry was born.”
“Lily wasn’t a wizard Sirius, wizard pregnancies are more complicated.” Remus rolled his eyes.
“Something you’re aware of since you’ve got Severus. I like witches and that’s the way it is.”
“You’ve been a decent sort with all of this and I’m quite grateful.” Remus grinned.
“It was a bit of a shock at first but Draco is a decent bloke and his affection for Harry is genuine. He isn’t so bad for a Malfoy.” Sirius snickered.
“Thanks Sirius.” Lucius
“You did right by him; if the trap is successful I am sure that you and Amelia will do right by his future sibling.” Sirius chuckled.
“If only we could use you a part of the trap. Perhaps impending parenthood would further your path to maturity.” Remus snorted.
“You just take all the fun out of this.” Sirius pouted. “Being bonded and an expectant sire have taken all your fun. Severus is making you too serious. Lighten up Moony.”
“Once we’ve dealt with the Lilithean that will one less bother to haunt us.” Remus retorted. “Then Severus and I can focus on trying to make our relationship work.”
“I wish you all the best.” Lucius smiled grimly.
“He is stubborn but I’m not giving up.” Remus smirked, “I’m going to pick up the components for the traps.”
“I shall speak with Gideon about his asistance. Amelia should check on her neice.” Lucius kissed the back of her hand, “Like I said it would be an honour beloved.”
The normally composed former Hufflepuff Head of Magical Law Enforcement flushed and slipped away.
“Well with you all pairing off I’m feeling lonely.” Sirius whinged.
“Grow up Sirius.” Lucius coughed before leaving to floo Weasley Hall to speak to Gideon.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
