Chapter 6

Harry sighed happily in his Master’s embrace. Severus held him tightly in place; his arms wrapped around him and his leg thrown over Harry’s hips, keeping him still. He had missed this. He never slept as well without Severus there. He burrowed back further into Severus’ warm body, soaking up the comfort that was so freely given by his Master’s wonderful hold.

Severus tightened his arms around his pet’s smaller body. \"Good morning, Master,\" Harry said quietly, realizing that Severus was awake. \"I’m sorry if I woke you.\"

Severus merely growled lightly and tucked Harry’s head more firmly under his chin. Harry sighed happily in his arms, shifting a bit more to get comfortable. His wiggling rubbed against Severus’ morning erection repeatedly, making him groan. \"You’re killing me, brat.\" Harry smiled softly. Last night they had been too tired for sex…or rather, Severus had decided that they were too tired. Harry was so horny that he would have had sex in his sleep if need be. He hadn’t complained though and had simply settled down to sleep. He could make it for a bit more since Severus had helped him in the bath earlier in the evening. Now though…

Severus brought his arms down to his lover’s bare hips and stroked lightly down his thigh, eliciting a contented purr from his pet. He smiled. He always loved the sounds that Harry made. As an Incubus he naturally made some sounds that no completely human lover would make. It was incredibly erotic.

Harry grew restless as his touch got no closer to his throbbing member. Severus stopped his gentle stroking and roughly pinched and pulled at an obliging dusky nipple as a reminder to settle down. Not a real punishment since Harry tended to enjoy it when he got a bit rougher, but he wasn’t about to stop. He needed this too. He had not been pleased when they had been interrupted last night.

Harry gasped at the new sensation and thrust back into his Master, feeling his hard length as it pressed into his cleft. He was nearly desperate. \"Please,\" he whispered. \"Please, Sir.\" Severus decided to stop teasing his young lover, knowing that he must be close to breaking if he was begging like that. He pushed Harry onto his stomach and immediately started stretching his tight hole after grabbing the oil he had found on the table by the bed. Harry started purring again and pushed back onto his fingers, eager for more.

\"Patience, pet,\" Severus said roughly. He didn’t want to hurt Harry in his eagerness to have sex. When he deemed him prepared enough to at least avoid injury he lifted the slim hips off the bed and slowly slid in, moaning softly at the tight heat. When he was fully sheathed he stayed still for a moment, allowing Harry a moment to adjust. Harry didn’t want to wait though and he pushed back hard against Severus, driving him to motion. Severus took him hard and fast, satisfying both of their urges. Severus vowed silently to never go without sex for so long again. A month without being inside his pet was ludicrous.

Harry’s purring had reached a fever pitch and was punctuated by loud moans and pleas for more, alerting Severus that he was drawing close. He thrust in harder and reached around to twist his nipples brutally. Harry came with a hoarse scream; his prick never touched. Severus rode out his own orgasm, pulled from him by Harry’s bucking body around his prick.

The two collapsed on the bed, panting. When Harry had collected himself again he turned back to Severus. \"Thank you, Master.\"

\"You have been very good, pet. I know that the past month has been difficult for you. I am proud of you though,\" Severus said, kissing Harry lightly. They rested in each other’s arms for a few more moments, both ignoring the fact that the day had long since begun around them. \"We should rise, Harry,\" Severus finally said reluctantly. \"We have another busy day ahead of us.\" It was already late in the day, nearly lunchtime. They hadn’t gotten to bed until early in the morning but they both needed to get up and see to their duties. Severus, no doubt, would be called to Dumbledore’s side soon. Harry too had many new duties in his capacity as a leader of the Dark.

The two slowly climbed out of bed and dressed. Harry pulled on one of the hundreds of robes that Voldemort had ordered for him in preparation for his arrival. He chose a dark silver one with black snakes swirling and twisting around the hem. Severus watched silently as his pet assumed his Black Prince persona with each article of clothing that he put on. By the time he pulled his messy curls back into a loose ponytail he was a completely different man from the affectionate lover who had just left his bed. Severus too had assumed his outside persona, putting on the surly expression that everyone was accustomed to seeing him with.

The two walked to the door and Severus opened it for the Prince, startling the guards who stood outside the door. Last night Severus had permanently spelled quiet so the guards had heard nothing from their morning activities. The Prince led the way to the dining room and sat down next to the Dark Lord, nodding his greeting to the few who had been deemed worthy to join their leaders in a meal. Voldemort, too, had just risen so he had decided to serve breakfast rather than lunch. Everyone present was an elite member. Draco was the only person present who was not elite but since the death of his mother he had been allowed to accompany his Father when he came to Headquarters.

\"I believe that Dumbledore’s Order has discovered that Harry Potter and the muggles are missing from Surrey. You will need to go to him soon and report your findings, Severus,\" Voldemort said after Harry and Severus had begun eating.

\"Of course, my Lord. Shall I report that I heard rumor that they had been captured or shall I claim to have seen them in the dungeons?\"

\"You will report only rumor,\" Harry said. \"If you claim to have seen where they are being held then he will blame you for not freeing Harry.\"

Severus nodded. \"Tell the old man that you are not entirely trusted by your Lord right now and that he has not revealed much information to you recently. Ask leave to stay at our Headquarters to try to regain some footing among the Death Eaters. That will keep you safe for some time and you will only have to make reports to him a few times a week to keep him updated with the information we want to give him,\" Harry continued.

Severus nodded again. \"I had already gained permission to stay away from the school for the remainder of the holiday but having permission to stay here will be better since I will be unreachable by their own authorization. I will broach the subject when I meet with them.\"

\"While you are here Severus, by your Prince’s permission, of course, I would like for you to instruct a few of the children in more advanced potions work. You would only tutor those who show great promise, of course,\" Voldemort said, finding it strange for the first time to have to ask for Severus to do something rather than order it.

Harry nodded his agreement but qualified it. \"You will decide who you instruct, Severus,\" he said, making it clear that Severus would only teach those he deemed worthy of it and who he wished to work with. Voldemort quickly agreed and Severus nodded as well, relieved that he would have the final say in the matter. He loathed teaching advanced work to students who simply couldn’t cut it. He understood that potions were difficult for some people but he could not abide unskilled students trying to do the work of masters and then complaining when they failed.

The Prince addressed the rest of the elite for the first time since he had entered. \"I want a few of you to go out and see if the public yet knows of Harry Potter’s disappearance. Bring back reports of what angle people are taking with it. If it is not yet public knowledge then we would do better to make it so ourselves. If we are the ones to start the rumors then we can ensure that Dumbledore is made out to be negligent in his care for their Savior. This will be a good opportunity to start discrediting him.\"

Voldemort nodded his approval at the Black Prince’s words. This was one place where Harry was much more skilled than him—planning out things well in advance. His struggle could be seen in many things, not least of all his mad rush to kill Harry as a baby leading to his own near death. He tended to realize things like this after the opportunity had passed.

It had never occurred to him to take this time to start destroying the old man’s reputation but it was a perfect time to do so. The Prince, though, was able to understand how all of the tiny threads would ultimately create a huge and complex tapestry. He was an expert at weaving it together to make the picture that he wanted whereas Voldemort was more skilled at interpreting the nearly finished product and deciding what he wanted to change.

Voldemort spoke up to hand out the duties. \"Lucius, take Draco to the ministry and start listening there. If nothing has been said yet then you will start rumors there. Ava, Cassandra, you will go to Diagon Alley and do the same. Bella, Rodolphus, Augustus, you will go to Knockturn Alley. Mancur, take some of the younger soldiers with you to Hogsmeade. Allow them to gossip about what happened over drinks but watch them carefully to make sure that they do not speak out of turn about things that should not be mentioned yet. Do not allow them to mess this up.\"

Everyone nodded their understanding and quickly finished their meals. The Black Prince and Voldemort stood at the same time, signaling that the meal was over. Everyone immediately set down their silver and hurried to do as they had been ordered. \"Lord, there are a few things that I wish to discuss with you\" the Black Prince said softly as everyone was leaving. Voldemort nodded and the two walked to a private study.

Both men settled down in comfortable chairs before Harry started talking. \"I believe that you know of my true parentage?\" Voldemort nodded but didn’t say anything. \"I am tired of maintaining the Harry Potter charade. I wish to step forward as Dorian Black, if you believe it to be a good decision.\"

Voldemort sat in silence for a few minutes, thinking of the implications. \"I assume that Dorian Black is your true birth name?\" The Black Prince nodded silently. \"Will you tell me how you discovered Sirius Black to be your father?\"

\"The entire thing was rather undramatic. Lily Evans listed Sirius as my father on my birth certificate as well as my birth name. No one ever bothered to look at that since James Potter proclaimed to anyone who would listen that he had a son that had just been born named Harry. He never knew the truth.\"

\"But how did you discover it?\"

\"I found my birth certificate when I was young…perhaps eight, in an old box of her belongings. I knew that Lily Evans was my mum and I knew my birth date. That was enough to convince me that this was baby, this Dorian, was really me. When Sirius escaped Azkaban I asked him if he knew that I was his son and he did. He had escaped largely because he knew that he had to get to me. He had spent the first ten years or so in a stupor of some sort—we believe that Dumbledore placed some sort of spell on him. When he ‘awoke’ he started working immediately to get to my side. He knew I was in danger if I was near Dumbledore.\"

\"I see.\" Voldemort quietly pondered the situation for a few more minutes. \"I think that there could be some definite benefits to exposing this to the Death Eaters. There are a few who still seem a bit hesitant to fully accept a Potter as their leader. This might dispel any lingering doubts.\"

\"You should probably know, Tom, that I am not entirely human.\"

Voldemort looked up sharply at this. \"What creature blood do you carry? I could sense a bit but I wasn’t able to pinpoint it.\"

\"I am part Incubus, inherited from my Father.\"

Voldemort inhaled sharply. He had read a few rumors of humans who had successfully mated with an Incubus and then conceived. The stories all reported that the child in question had driven those near him to madness when he went through puberty because he had been unable to control his sexual pull. Those who were close to him had ended up literally insane with desire when the pull had grown too strong and they as well as the young men all died gruesome deaths. Obviously his father had managed to do make it through puberty as well as Harry had but from what he had heard he managed it only by fucking half of the school in the process. He had heard no such rumors about the son. Har…Dorian must have an iron control over his pull if he had made it successfully through puberty. The young man was simply amazing.

\"Do you wish to reveal this to the Death Eaters?\"

\"Do you believe that it would hurt or help me?\" Dorian asked, unsure what their reaction would be. They openly embraced most forms of magical creature unlike the Ministry and the side of the light but he was something completely different and largely unknown among the wizarding population.

Voldemort thought for a few moments. \"I think we should tell them. Many of them carry some creature inheritance and it will make them feel better that one of their leaders does as well.\"

The Black Prince nodded. \"I am anxious to hear the reports from the soldiers about the rumors,\" he said, clearly changing the subject.

Voldemort agreed. \"I am curious to see how Dumbledore had been trying to cover this up. I have no doubt that will be his first reaction to the situation. His pathetic attempt to cover it up will only make him look worse.\"

\"We should call another meeting of at least the elite to explain some of our plans to them tonight or tomorrow—preferably tonight. If we keep them in the dark for too long then they will grow nervous. I am perfectly aware that most of them were unnerved to think of me as one of their leaders. They need to see us operating together a few times in order to grow truly confident in our new leadership. It will also lay to rest some of the concerns that will no doubt appear due to our most recent actions.\"

\"We should assemble the elite for a dinner tonight at seven to explain some of our long term plans. We could follow that with a meeting with the rest of the soldiers. I assume that the rumors that our elite are currently spreading will shake the world enough for the papers to publish late editions. The soldiers will have already read about it in the papers by then. I would prefer to lay any concerns to rest tonight rather than allow them to fester.\"

\"I agree. Dumbledore’s followers are constantly operating blindly and it is a major weakness. No one ever knows what the other is doing. Dumbledore believes he is protecting his actions by doing this but in truth he merely breeds discontent.\"

\"Do you wish to reveal your true parentage tonight?\"

Dorian thought for a moment. \"No, at least not to everyone. I will tell those invited to the elite dinner but that it all. It will be too much turmoil for the rest. Their whole world has been violently shaken in the last twenty four hours. I will wait a few weeks before revealing the truth to the rest.\"

\"That is probably prudent. Many would react well but it might prove to be too much for some of them. They need some level of familiarity in order to keep operating.\"

A knock on the door interrupted them. \"Enter,\" Voldemort called out, both men sitting up straighter in their chairs and assuming the appropriate demeanor. Severus and most of the elite who had been given tasks that morning entered. Evidently they had completed all of their assignments. \"Report.\"

Severus spoke first. \"Dumbledore and the Order are in hysterics, just as you both had assumed. He is furious that you beat him to Harry. To our benefit, he is now more convinced than ever that I am faithful since the leak about his scheduled pickup clearly didn’t come from me since he never told me his plan. I was able to berate him for keeping such important information from me, claiming that I could have prevented it from happening if I had forewarning.

\"He proclaimed the missing trunk only a small loss since he knows that it contains James Potter’s invisibility cloak and a magical map that was made by Black, Potter, Lupin and Pettigrew. Other than that, he didn’t think there was anything of value in it. He is currently scrambling to cover the fact that Potter has been abducted from under his very nose. The Order is furious that the so called blood protections amounted to absolutely nothing and that their precious Savior was forced to live with the wretched muggles for nothing.\"

He looked nervously at his pet as he said the last bit. He knew that Harry was well aware that the blood protections had always been bogus but it was difficult hearing that your wretched childhood had been for nothing more than to satisfy a cruel man’s sadistic streak. Harry had long known that but it was harder sometimes hearing such truths said aloud. To his credit, the Prince didn’t even twitch at the news, he merely nodded.

\"Lucius?\"

Lucius stepped forward, Draco following closely behind. \"We found that the Ministry was completely clueless about the matter. I kindly informed them that I had heard a rumor that Harry Potter had been abducted from his muggle residence. They quickly organized a force of aurors that included a few of our own to go and investigate the situation. I mentioned to their head, Edgeworth, that Dumbledore had long touted the great blood protections that he had placed over the muggle residence making it impossible for the boy to be attacked while living with the muggles. He was ill pleased to find out that Dumbledore had been so careless with a student’s welfare, especially the Boy Who Lived.\"

The Prince turned to Lord Voldemort. Is Edgeworth light? he hissed softly.

He proclaims himself to be neutral but is, in fact, leaning more toward the Dark than anything.

I am sure that once they are through ‘helping’ the Order investigate that there will be nothing left to find, he said, grinning evilly. The elite members shuddered. Voldemort let out a sibilant laugh, finding the situation equally amusing. He turned abruptly back to his soldiers.

\"Ava and Cassandra?\"

\"Diagon Alley was silent,\" Cassandra said. \"We decided to have a conversation over coffees in front of a small café. Before we even had our cups refilled the street was buzzing with the news. The people are ready to revolt against Dumbledore. His support grown thin.\"

\"Very good, ladies. Bella?\"

\"About the same in Knockturn Alley. We didn’t bother to trick people into eavesdropping though, we merely told a few carefully chosen individuals of the truth. By the time we left everyone in the alley knew the whole story. Most of them were already sympathizers with our side but it may have even won us a few more recruits among those who had been hesitant to chose a side before. They were all pleased to hear of you outsmarting the old man like that.\"

The door opened again, this time emitting Mancur Olsen. He quickly bowed and joined the group of elite soldiers who were giving their reports.

\"How did the soldiers do in Hogsmeade, Mancur?\" the Prince asked.

\"Very well. I brought five of our most recent graduates and took them out to Rosmerta’s bar. The story spread quickly. It seems that the town loves Harry Potter and they were outraged with Dumbledore for endangering the boy as he had. Evidently someone had overheard Harry asking permission to get an apartment in Hogsmeade after graduation and Dumbledore forcing him to move back with the muggles, claiming that he would be safe there. That rumor had already spread quickly a few weeks ago. With this one on top of it the whole town is ready to lynch the old man.\"

Voldemort and Severus had both glanced at the Prince when they had heard of this first rumor, no doubt carefully orchestrated by Harry a month ago in order to strengthen his claim over the residents of Hogsmeade when the time came. The young man operated in so many layers at once that it was dizzying. He had known, even then, that one day he would need for that rumor to already be widespread and had created it accordingly. Absolutely brilliant.

\"Very good, Mancur. Reward the soldiers accordingly,\" the Prince said.

\"Tonight we wish for all of you, and the rest of the elite, to join us for dinner before the meeting. There are a few aspects of our plans that we wish to reveal to you as well as some information about your Prince. You will join us at seven p.m.\" Voldemort did not bother to couch his order in terms of an invitation or a request. Everyone knew that it was a command anyway.

Everyone quickly bowed to show their thanks and left. Severus once again followed his pet toward their quarters to get ready for this dinner.
