The Next Generation

\]6 acome again to all our new students, good luck in your classes and have a good meal!” he said before sitting down to a filled table. All conversation drained away as food was distributed and empty stomachs filled. Harry watched them all with a joyful heart, only slightly sore that he’d lost the bet to his spouse.

Chapter 3:

Harry retired to his office only to spot his spouse lounging against his desk. Taking in the sight of his mate he couldn’t help but saunter over,

“If I didn’t have a meeting with two students in a few minutes I would defiantly take advantage of the opportunity to act out a few of those fantasies of you shagging me on your desk.” He purred tugging the taller man in for a kiss. Severus smiled and sighed at the same time, he looked a little put out but returned the kiss with passion.

“After my meeting however…” Harry whispered with a sultry smile and Severus chuckled lightly pulling Harry away at arms length.

“So, how’d the twins fare?” he asked with a smile. Harry rolled his eyes and gave Severus a half pout, half glare.

“You won. All three were in Slytherin.” He smiled but sighed again. “Those students are due here any moment Sev, remind me to ask you afterwards why you’re here and not with the kids.” He said reluctantly moving away from his husband and sitting in the grand, comfortable, chair behind the desk. Severus smiled and stood behind him to his right looking purposefully imposing.

“That’s all I need Sev is rumors that I keep you chained to my desk for intimidation purposes.” The younger muttered cheerily while absently arranging his desk and papers. A nervous habit he’d developed over the years.

“Mmm, well there was that one time,” his spouse replied chuckling and dodging the ink well Harry tossed at him, “M’dear who do you have a meeting with this early in the year anyway?” he continued cleaning the spilt ink from the carpet.

“The same student as last year and his younger brother, I don’t know what manor of creature lead me to accept both Yates brother’s Merlin hope their parents don’t have a girl anytime soon.” He muttered pulling out their files to glance over. Severus looked on,

“Yates hmm? You must be referring to the, ah conflicts of their creature blood?” he said as Harry nodded waving a hand at the door, it opened exposing one boy about to knock politely and the younger looking rather surprised.

-Yes Sev, and the younger is nearly full blooded. – He replied before turning his full attention to the brothers. Despite the five year difference between them Itzal was obviously protective of his younger sibling and said younger sibling held his older brother in high regard.

“Come on in boys.” Harry said waving at the chairs. He caught their wary glances at Severus and had to smile. If he hadn’t known that his spouse had absolutely no vampire in him he would’ve changed his opinion the way he was looking at the boys from his dark corner.

“Contrary to popular belief he won’t bite.” Harry said with a bright smile knowing he’d pay for the comment later. Itzal smiled and waved to his little brother and they both sat down, the later looking nervous.

“You needn’t look so nervous Sterling, you’re not in trouble.” Harry said soothing the younger boy who met his eyes shyly and smiled. Harry managed to keep his face friendly despite the boys startling gray-white eyes.

“Surely Itzal gave you a synopsis of why I asked you to be here,” he said with a glance at the elder boy who shrugged his shoulders it was an odd shrug though Harry seen him do it before. He shrugged his shoulder blades instead of his whole shoulders.

“Well I am aware of your parentage, and the creature blood that accompanies it.” Gray-white eyes widened a little; this was a very coveted family secret. “While I have no intention of forcing regulations or rules on either of you, I respectfully ask that you practice digression and beware of my twins.” He said with a wry grin.

“That’s not a threat, both my children are bright also my granddaughter has access to all the pureblood family records. With Raveal and his abilities, I’m not telling you them he can share if he wishes, I give them at most a week before they figure out what both of you are.” He explained correctly interpreting Itzal’s stiffening before his explanation. The older boy relaxed with a smile and nodded his acceptance. Harry found himself slightly worried by the boy’s obvious reaction to the warning about his children, was the boy already eyeing one of them? Shaking off that thought he turned back to them, suddenly in a hurry to get them out of his office and take advantage of his spouse.

“That’s all boys, please just be discrete and don’t cause any scenes and we won’t have any problems.” He said with a polite smile and a wave. Itzal gave a regal nod oh his head which the younger boy mimicked after they both promised. Locking the door after them he pounced Severus. Trailing kisses down his lover’s throat. Severus purred at the attention but had to bring up the boys reaction.

“The older one looked positively furious when it sounded like you were telling him to stay away from the twins.” He said watching Harry’s face, the younger flinched.

“Even if he sets on one of them their laws won’t allow him to court them for another year, so we’ve till then at least.” He murmured into the crook of his mate’s neck, Severus got the hint and let the topic drop but he would bring it up again eventually. Severus Snape was nothing if not stubborn. Harry gave a soft breathy moan as his mate pushed him against the desk. Lavishing his neck with love bites while working to remove his robes, Harry purred as he returned the favor.

“You are the headmaster; it seems rather unlikely that no one will need you in the immediate future.” Severus drawled alternating between torturing his lover’s nipples and ravaging his mouth. Harry gasped and merely moaned at the prospect of someone catching him, it was a secrete turn on that Severus loved exploiting. However before the older man even had time to strip his younger lover of his pants there was a patient knock at the door.

“Harry Blackfighter Snape, I am aware that your lovely detestable spouse paid you a visit but your presence as headmaster is required at the faculty meeting.” Called McGonagall through the door, Harry growled. They didn’t need him but now he would feel the need to go. With a regretful sigh he pecked Severus on the cheek and looked around for his robes.

The trio entered the new, quite large, first year wing and took in the black and silver décor. Big stuffed chairs littered the floor in front the large fireplace and twin spiral stair cases lead to the dorms. The girls had the sliver lined stairs and the boys the black marble lined set. It was a rather impressive common room all in all, plus they had a most interesting portrait guard. The large arctic tiger that was their guard only assigned archaic words that none of them had heard of before, their current password being ‘avatrol’.


“Wow, I sort of expected it to be less…impressive.” Vera commented flopping into a chair. Purposefully a black one and she looked at the other first years as they followed her example. Ione leaned gracefully against the arm of her chair. Rave picked a black couch across from them and watched the others curiously. Damien was the first to take initiative and sat next to Rave on the couch.

“So did you guys know about the new houses arrangement?” he asked looking over at him curiously. Vera narrowed her eyes slightly,

“Despite our parent’s positions in society, they do not disclose everything with us and we are the same as you here.” She snapped, rather abruptly. The boy looked a bit taken aback and re-appraised her.

“No offence meant.” He replied finally, a sort of half apology but also a testament that he wasn’t backing down. She nodded and looked around the room again; Sterling happened to enter the room as her gaze swept in his direction. He looked sort of surprised to see them all gathered in the common room. There were also a few second years making their way in through the doors leading to each house, with their respective animal counterparts on the doors distinguish the doors. Vera watched everything curiously, especially the other students. Rave however was developing a bit of a headache, while he had his empathetic powers mostly in control he still felt the constant pressure of others outer lying emotions and saw the contrasts of their aura’s. He really wanted the boy next to him to move away, his control over his emotions was awful and the young vampire’s complete openness with his vampiric nature was pressing on Rave’s senses. Sterling rescued him unknowingly by glaring at the vampire and sitting between them. The strange gray-white eyed boy’s complete lack of emotions and aura was an immediate relief. Rave barely suppressed the sigh of contentment, though he round that everyone else’s emotions and auras were there but repressed while he was next to this boy.

“Hey little blonde girl, your that Weasley’s daughter, with the two spouses right?” asked one of the other first year girls, Jacklyn, Vera knew this girl was stupid. Ione gave the other blonde an icy glare and a stiff nod. The other girl grinned wickedly,

“So how do you know which spouse actually fathered you? With all the rumors floating around that they don’t separate in bed.” She sneered. Vera and Rave both issued low growls and Ione had stood up looking furious but before any of them could comment the shy kelikan girl had growled loudly.

“You idiot. Don’t you know anything about magical creatures?” she demanded, “As if the slander about peoples private lives that you’ve nothing to do with was any of your business.” She continued sneering. Ione gave the other girl a brief smile before taking over. The little veela drew herself up to her full four foot three height and glared,

“If you knew anything at all you would know that veela’s have one true mate. One mate that can impregnate them, male and female alike, even if they never find their true mate and mate with others only their true mate can induce children. Thus my father could only be impregnated by my Dad, not by Abba.” She sneered, “Not that any of that I your business you cascading sack of slime.” She added with a disdainful sniff. The other blonde looked completely flabbergasted, and ashamed as the other first years snickered.

“Abba?” asked Damien curiously from the couch, he had obviously enjoyed that calm display of temper and was looking at Ione with respect.

“The Ander word for papa, or dad depending on your translation.” Rave supplied. Ione nodded her affirmative and settled back against the couch. Slowly the topic of conversation drifted away from the twins and onto classes and the happy/nervous excitement of starting school. They eventually drifted to their respective dorms, Rave and Vera giving each other a wave before ascending the stair cases. Since there was only six boys they were all placed in the same room each with their own four poster bed, black wood with silver hangings. Their trunks already deposited at the foot of their respective beds. Rave changed sluggishly and dropped into his bed, asleep the minute his head hit the pillow. The girls were the same, though their addition of one person gave them an extra bathroom in their dorm and their beds were a silver wood with black hangings.

oOo
“Wake up you lazy ass!” crowed a cherry voice the next morning as Rave sat up and blinked in confusion a few times. The voice was decidedly male and therefore not his sister’s but who else would be in his room? Slowly as the room came into focus he remembered that he was at Hogwarts and not Snape mansion. The grinning face of the vampire, Damien, came into focus and Rave groaned. He was not a morning person.

“Come on its nearly seven forty, we’re supposed to be down for breakfast at eight.” The vampire urged. Watching as the other boy merely grumbled and rolled over. Damien shrugged and abandoned his attempts. Sterling watched with careful gray-white eyes and walked over to glance at the still sleeping boy. Rave was in the midst of a rather nice dream although he forgot it as it played out, however something that wasn’t part of his dream flooded his senses. For a moment his whole body hummed pleasantly and his mind fogged over. Green eyes snapped open as he shot awake sitting up and looking wildly around.

-Rave? – Vera asked through the link feeling his bland confusion and panic. She hadn’t felt it again; He felt panic building and fought it off.

-Overslept. I’ll be down in a minute. – He said softly and closed the link, not harshly though. He stood rather shakily looking around again and moving to get dressed and with a feeling of foreboding descended the stairs.

AN: Sooooooooooooo would my loyal fans be angry with me if I introduced two more original creatures into this mix? =D Sorry this one took so long but I was inventing there creatures… which takes a decent amount of time. It took me over 2 months to have a workable setting for the Kelikans so –shrugs- However now I’ve some practice and have the two that I’m most likely going to add em in. =P So um…nothing else to say. XD
