Abandoned Child

Deimos watched as Lucas came through the floo and stopped and stared at everyone. He knew how shy Lucas was but it appeared no one else did. He watched as Lucas was pushed through the crowd of people.

Lucas was surrounded on all sides and Deimos stayed in the shadows clutching the gift waiting for his chance as he watched his beauty.

The Potter’s immediately started towards the crowd of people, leaving Lucas behind and it wasn’t until someone suggested that they give Lucas his gifts first, that they noticed Lucas was still standing next to the floo.

‘‘Harry come here and you can open your gifts’’ James said, but Lucas didn’t move. James kept yelling for ‘Harry’ to come open his presents and it wasn’t until a Hogwarts student told James that he didn’t answer to Harry and only to Lucas, that James finally called him Lucas and Lucas came straight over.

Once Lucas was in the middle of the crowd, the one place Lucas didn’t want to be, he was told to open his gifts. He didn’t want any gifts, he just wanted everyone to go away, but he thought the quicker he got this over with, the sooner he would be left alone. With those thought he opened the gifts that consisted of the best broom on the market, the firebolt from James and Lily, Honeydukes chocolate and a Quidditch poster of the Chudley Cannons from Rose and Michael. He also got in the end from the guests an entire Quidditch set, a set of Quidditch gear (that was too big for him), more Chudley Cannons posters and assorted Quidditch souvenirs and Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, Sugar Quills, Acid Pops, Chocolate Frogs and more. Once all his gifts had been opened everyone turned to Rose and Michael Potter for them to open their mountain of gifts, which was three times the size of Lucas’s pile. They both got a firebolt each from James and Lily and from the guests they got Quidditch sets, robes, sweets, chocolate, money, books (though they would never read them) and more.

While all of this went on Lucas was able to sneak away. He knew it. He just knew it. His family would never love him. They didn’t even notice when he left the party.

***************************************************************************

Deimos watched as Lucas retreated to the shadows, when just like he expected the party goers turned from his little beauty to the saviours.

‘‘Lucas what’s wrong?’’ he asked as he reached the shadows and saw Lucas’s sitting on a couch, with his legs drawn up to his chest. His shoulders shaking and could finally hear the erratic breathing and sobbing. When Lucas refused to answer and curled further in on himself, he sat down on the couch and gently pulled Lucas into his lap.

‘‘What’s wrong?’’ he asked again and felt Lucas answer against his neck.

‘‘They don’t want me’’ almost too quietly to hear and borrowed further into his chest.

‘‘What do you mean Lucas?’’ he asked as he gently rubbed his back. Lucas pulled back slightly, but still lent against him.

‘‘I thought they wanted me, but as soon as all the presents were opened, everyone went over to Michael and Rose, even them and they just left me there.’’ He cried ‘‘What’s wrong with me?’’

‘‘Nothing’’

‘‘Then why did they send me away?’’

‘‘They just can’t see what an amazing person you are’’ he said confidently

‘‘Then why doesn’t anyone else want to be my friend?’’

‘‘I’m your friend, and I’ll never leave you’’ he said as he hugged Lucas tighter.

‘‘Promise’’ Lucas asked looking up at him.

‘‘Of course’’ He said smiling ‘‘That reminds me I got you a present’’

‘‘You did’’ Lucas asked in shock

‘‘Of course I did’’ he answered ‘‘But I’m afraid it’s not as extravagant as your other presents’’

‘‘I don’t care’’ Lucas said ‘‘Your the only one who cares about me, so only your present matters’’ With that said he pulled out the small blue box tied with a silver ribbon and watched as Lucas carefully opened i to reveal his gift.

‘‘I got it made especially for you’’ he said gently ‘‘Do you like it?’’

‘‘It’s beautiful’’ Lucas exclaimed carefully running his fingers over the carved patterns on the gold.

‘‘You need to decide now if this is what you want, because if it is you can never take it back’’

‘‘What do you mean?’’ Lucas asked with a look of confusion

‘‘If I put this bracelet and you say the incantation I tell you to, then you’ll be mine forever.’’

‘‘And you’ll never leave me. I can stay with you forever’’ Lucas asked looking at him with a look of hope in his eyes.

‘‘Yes, we’ll be together forever and no one will ever be able to take you away from me’’ He said staring down at Lucas ‘‘What’s your decision?’’

‘‘Yes’’

‘‘If I put this on it never comes off understand. You’ll be mine forever’’

‘‘I understand and I want to be yours, I don’t ever want to be alone again’’

‘‘You will never be alone again, I’ll always be with you’’ he said as he put the bracelet to one side. ‘‘Now the next parts important and will mean were together forever. You have to do exactly what I say, do you understand.’’

‘‘Yes’’

***************************************************************************

(THE RITUAL-TRANSLATION AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER)

‘‘Good, now take this knife’’ he said as he held out a small knife, which Lucas took ‘‘now cut your palm. And repeat after me. Per meus cruor EGO redimio nos una’’

He watched as Lucas carefully cut the palm of his left hand with the knife.

Per meus cruor EGO redimio nos una. (Lucas)

Deimos then cut the palm of his right hand, put the knife aside and pressed their cut palms together.

Per meus cruor EGO vindicatum vos ut mei quod tribuo vos meus cruor iungo nos una. (Deimos)

Deimos then took out a gold necklace with a thick medium length chain, with a circular disk attached with the same patterns carved into it as on the bracelet and wrapped the necklace around their joined hands. ‘‘Now repeat after me. EGO sum vestri pro iam quod forever’’

EGO sum vestri pro iam quod forever (Lucas)

‘‘Lucas now unbind the necklace from our hands and put it on the couch’’ Deimos said and watched as Lucas did what he was told. ‘‘Now pick up the bracelet and offer it to me and then repeat after me. EGO tribuo vos myself. Panton EGO have EGO tribuo vobis. Vindicatum mihi ut vestri.’’

Lucas picked up the bracelet and offered it to Deimos and said

EGO tribuo vos myself. Panton EGO have EGO tribuo vobis. Vindicatum mihi ut vestri. (Lucas)

Deimos took the bracelet and laid it over Lucas’s wrist and closed the clasp.

EGO vindicatum vos ut mei pro iam quod forever , ut exsisto meus posterus uxor quod perfero meus liberi. (Deimos)

‘‘Now pick up the necklace and put it on my neck and repeat after me. EGO belong vobis , meus posterus maritus quod posterus abbas of meus liberi.’’

Deimos watched as Lucas complied and said

EGO belong vobis , meus posterus maritus quod posterus abbas of meus liberi. (Lucas)

‘‘Now bow your head and repeat after me. EGO sum vestri pro iam quod forever. Vos es dominor quod EGO obsequium , futurus vindicatum vobis.’’

Lucas then bowed is head and said

EGO sum vestri pro iam quod forever. Vos es dominor quod EGO obsequium , futurus vindicatum vobis. (Lucas)

Deimos then cupped Lucas’s chin with his right hand and looked down into his eyes and said
EGO vindicatum vos ut mei pro iam quod forever. Vos es meus obsequium quod EGO sum dominor. (Deimos)

Deimos then kissed Lucas’s lips and said

Vos es mei pro iam quod forever. (Deimos)

With the ritual complete Lucas fell asleep from the power of the ritual and physical and emotional drain from the day, curled up against Deimos’s chest.

***************************************************************************

The ritual was complete and now his little beauty would be his forever and no one would ever be able to change that. He lifted his future spouse into his arms and carried him up the stairs into his bedroom. The bedroom was huge and as he laid his beauty on the large bed, he just seemed so small. There was hardly anything in the room and his little beauty deserved so much. There was the large bed with two pillows, but his beauty should have dozens of pillows, so he could snuggle down in them. The walls were bright blue, while the bed was crimson red and everything seemed to have gold trim, it seemed to be some sort of Ravenclaw, Gryffindor colour combination and it looked dreadful. He could change it now, but better to wait till later and then his little beauty can decide the colours. There were even Quidditch posters up, which from newspapers were the saviour’s favourite Quidditch team, his little beauty couldn’t even fly.

Well he couldn’t blame him, after not being able to join in for the first lesson and then that Longbottom boy breaking his wrist and that Saviour boy Potter and Malfoy, showing off and arguing and fighting, on the broom and almost causing each other to fall off, with bumping into each other, pushing each other and throwing those spells at each other and all while on their brooms. When his little beauty had been allowed to join in, he was too scared to and would now during lessons, just sit beside the wall doing work for other classes. The Quidditch posters were ridiculous, after not wanting to fly, he doubted his little beauty even new what Quidditch was, let alone how to play it. There weren’t even any books in the room and his little beauty loved to read. Not that he should be surprised the Potters may have made it look like they cared for his little beauty, but this showed they new nothing about him and if anything it showed that they wanted him to be exactly like the saviours. Wanting him to love flying, Quidditch, the colours showed that even though they acknowledged he was in Ravenclaw with the blue, the red clearly showed that they wanted him to be a Gryffindor.

I wonder when they’ll really see his little beauty, if ever and what will happen when...if they ever notice his gift.

With those last thoughts Deimos pulled out a wrapped parcel from his robes and laid it down on the bedside table and pressed a kiss to his little beauties head.

‘‘Sweet dreams my little beauty’’ and left the room.

As he reached the floo he saw his mother waiting for a smirk on her face as she motioned with her chin to the stairs, he had come down and he nodded his head slightly, causing his mother to smile brightly, with the thought of the boy who had won her sons interest and would be her future son-in-law and with his and her sons looks and power, their children would not only be beautiful, but extremely powerful.

The Rosier family would rise again through that emerald eyed child and would once again be respectful and gain the influence and power that had been lost with the death of her husband and the truth of his allegiance to the Dark Lord.

With those thoughts running through her and her son’s minds, they flooed back to the manor, firm in the knowledge, that Lucas was theirs and no one could keep them away from him

***************************************************************************

Meanwhile, while all of this was going on the Potters and all the guests were having fun in the garden of Potter Manor. While James and Lily Potter were talking to the guests and reminiscing with friends about the old times, about each other’s children and how everyone had been and what had been happening. Rose and Michael were with their friends and were sorting out whose team to be on, while they got the brooms and the Quidditch gear, no one had noticed that Lucas wasn’t there. At that moment Lucas was being comforted by Deimos. As everyone gathered to watch the children play Quidditch, Lucas was performing the ritual with Deimos and as the Quidditch match finished, Deimos was putting Lucas to bed and leaving. As the party continued, no one noticed Lucas was gone.

That night as the Potters went to bed, James and Lily finally cheked on Lucas to see him asleep in his bed, never noticing the wrapped gift on the table or the gold bracelet on his wrist. The Potters went to bed that night knowing, that all their children were safe in their beds and that now they had Lucas back, everything was as it should be.

If only they new.

ALL IN ENGLISH- TRANSLATION FROM THE RITUAL

‘‘Good, now take this knife’’ he said as he held out a small knife, which Lucas took ‘‘now cut your palm. And repeat after me. With my blood I bind us together’’

He watched as Lucas carefully cut the palm of his left hand with the knife.

With my blood I bind us together. (Lucas)

Deimos then cut the palm of his right hand, put the knife aside and pressed their cut palms together.

With my blood I claim you as mine and give you my blood to join us together. (Deimos)

I am yours for now and forever. (Lucas)

‘‘Lucas now unbind the necklace from our hands and put it on the couch’’ Deimos said and watched as Lucas did what he was told. ‘‘Now pick up the bracelet and offer it to me and then repeat after me. I give you myself. Everything I have I give to you. Claim me as yours.’’

Deimos watched as Lucas complied and said

I belong to you, my future husband and future father of my children. (Lucas)

‘‘Now bow your head and repeat after me. I am yours for now and forever. You are the dominant and I the submissive, to be claimed by you.’’

Lucas then bowed is head and said

I am yours for now and forever. You are the dominant and I the submissive, to be claimed by you. (Lucas)

Deimos then cupped Lucas chin with his right hand and looked down into his eyes and said

I claim you as mine for now and forever. You are my submissive and I am the dominant. (Deimos)

Deimos then kissed Lucas’s lips and said

You are mine for now and forever. (Deimos)

With the ritual complete Lucas fell asleep from the power of the ritual and physical and emotional drain from the day, curled up against Deimos’s chest.
