Last Chapter

Although most mas-Montu are male and most mas-Bastet are female this is not always so, occasionally the opposite occurred however this was extremely rare. Little else is known about their nature, much that we do know is speculative from studying the few texts that mention them and the gods they imitate, the method for creating the ‘Children of Atum’ is thought to be lost forever, and in this authors opinion it is best kept that way. Reader please note that the prefix mas means child in ancient Egyptian.”

“Well holy mother of Merlin” Sirius exclaimed and sat down heavily, “I’ll kill the old coot!”


Chapter 6: Discussions

“Why would Dumbledore want to make Harry into a submissive part feline though?” asked Sirius.

“I doubt that was what he was aiming for Paddy,” Remus sighed, “the book said that male mas-Bastets were really rare, obviously Albus wanted a mas-Montu, why though? And why would he leave Harry with the Dursleys?”

“Mas-Montu's are powerful warriors and are loyal to their master,” Walburga explained, “obviously Dumbledore wanted a warrior to fight Voldemort, a warrior who would always be under his control. The man gained so much when he defeated Grindewald, but he is aging now and probably wouldn't survive an all out duel with Voldemort. However, if his protege, the child he trained were to defeat the new dark lord, he would once again receive the acclaim. As for leaving the boy with the Dursleys I'm not sure, it's possible that he didn't want to waste the time bringing the boy up himself. He needed to send the boy to live with someone who Harry would not have loyalty to. Dumbledore would 'rescue' the boy, winning his admiration and solidifying him as Harry's master.”

“Yeah, I suppose,” agreed Sirius, “but what about Lilly, what did she gain from going along with Dumbledore's plan?”

“Well we know Lilly wanted James, and we know Lilly and Dumbledore used Love potions on James to get him to marry her. Dumbledore must have struck up a bargain with her, that she would get James and his money in exchange for their first born son. He probably didn't tell her he would then sacrifice her and James to Voldemort.” Remus said with a sigh.

The three sat in silence for a few minutes pondering what to do with this new information, dozens of questions were flying through their minds, 'Should they tell Harry?', 'Should they tell Snape and Arabella?', 'How long should they torture Dumbledore for before they killed him?', 'When could they exact their revenge for Harry?', 'What should they do about Harry's attraction and allure?'.

They finally decided to tell Harry, it would help if he knew what was happening when they explained about their interactions and the need to slow down with their physical relationships, they also needed to do more research into the mas-Bastet which would probably mean reading anything they could get their hands on about ancient Egyptian gods and this Nefat character. They also needed to work out how to get Harry to reign in his allure, they couldn't keep succumbing to it, and hopefully the knowledge of what was happening would help. They decided Harry would need to learn Occlumency, that was how Veela's controlled their allure, however they usually learnt it in their early teens, in preparation for their inheritance when they turned 16. Not at the age of 6, with an active allure. Unfortunately Snape would have to do this, being the only proficient Oclumens and Legimens that knew about Harry, however they still didn't want to tell him about Harry's curse. They would have to think of a suitable reason for Harry to learn so young.

“We know Dumbledore is a Legimens, and Harry will need to hide his true childhood from the headmaster when he goes to Hogwarts, that means he will need to be an excellent Occlumens before he is eleven.” Remus decided, “I am a good enough Occlumens to start his training, and give him some control. Then we ask Severus to step in once I've taken Harry as far as I can. We tell Harry about the curse then use a pensive to remove the information before each lesson. One of us will supervise the of Snape's lessons as well to help spread the allure and to control Harry so that Severus won't catch on.”

“That might just work Moony, now we better take breakfast up to Harry before he wakes up and wonders where we are.”

The pair brought up the breakfast that Kretcher made, and woke a sleepy Harry. They both felt the attraction renew, but whether because they knew what was happening, or that Harry was sated, it was not as strong as it had been earlier. The three ate their breakfast in companionable silence only broken when Harry curled up in Remus' lap and started putting again when Remus absently carded his fingers through the boy's hair.

"Okay Harry, let's head to the library, I have a research project for you." Remus smiled as Harry's eyes lit up, "I want 2 feet on the Egyptian Goddess Bastet, concentrating on her powers and personality."

Remus often gave Harry essays to complete as this would help him prepare for Hogwarts and encouraged him to learn general knowledge and improve his writing skills. Harry loved the opportunity to show off his knowledge and revelled in the praise he would receive once it was completed. He wasn't sure why but he liked doing things for Remus, Sirius and Severus; it made him feel good to please them. He knew that if he did what they asked they would be happy and would hug him or hold him or pet him. He loved it when they touched him, even if it was just running their fingers through his hair.

Harry jumped up to get dressed for the day unabashed by is nakedness, the boy disliked clothing and it was a struggle to make him wear decent clothes. Even so he would often only wear a pair of small shorts, or a robe and nothing else. Harry then hurried to the library to gather the books he would need for his project. Several hours later the proud young boy emerged with a roll of parchment and a grin on his face, he sat down at the kitchen table for lunch handing over the paper to Remus. Remus studied the essay noting that the boy had all the pertinent facts, Bastet, the daughter of Atum or Atum-Ra as he later became known was a protective goddess and the goddess of pleasure and joy, fire, cats, of the home and pregnant women. She was also called the "Lady of the East", and as such, her counterpart was the "Lady of the West", Sekhmet, the goddess of war and destruction who was symbolised by a lion. Bastet and Sekhmet often were depicted looking the same however Bastet wore green and Sekhmet wore red. They both had a fondness for cats and snakes, especially the cobra.

“Verry good cub,” Remus smiled at the boy’s grin at the praise, he reached over and tousled his hair, noting the way Harry leaned into the touch, “now eat your lunch then I want two feet on the Veela, taking particular note of their ‘pull’ and how a Veela controls it and how they can use it to their advantage, as well as the dangers to both the Veela and the target of the pull.” Harry frowned at the odd request, Remus never gave him two assignments in one day and that they were on two very different subjects with such specific topics was odd. Harry nodded in ascent anyway and quickly finished his meal before heading back upstairs.

That night Harry cautiously got into his guardians bed while the two men sat in seats beside it, they had been acting strange all day and Harry was getting nervous.

“What’s worng?” he asked, “Did I do something wrong?”

“No pup, you didn’t do anything wrong, there’s just something Moony and I have to talk to you about.” Sirius explained nervously, looking over at his lover.

“Well you see cub, we realised today that there is something different about you, you’re not like other kids you’re age. It’s nothing bad.” He assured the boy seeing the nervous look on his face, “It’s just that we noticed some strange things.”

“Like you purring like a cat for one,” Sirius interrupted.

“And wanting to engage in sexual activity so young…”

“And being so intelligent and curious…”

“And so affectionate and beautiful,” Harry was blushing by now, “and we thought that maybe you had some creature blood, like a Veela or an Incubus.” Remus explained.

“But you don’t have any creature heritage and you’re not like any known creature.”

“Anyway we finally found out that you are a ‘Child of Atum’, that you were cursed before you were born by Albus Dumbledore.” The pair continued to explain to Harry about the curse and what they had supposed about the motivations and what they needed to do to control Harry’s allure. Harry realised that this was the purpose of his essay’s that day and was thankful of having to do them as the information made much more sense then it would have this morning. Remus and Sirius were surprised at how well the boy was taking it and when Harry asked to see the book they had found the information in Sirius was half way to the library before he realised that he was going to get it for him.

Harry read the short passage in ’Curse de Animalis’ then declared he was tired and snuggled down into bed beckoning the two men to come to bed too. All three fall asleep quickly exhausted by the turmoil of the days revelations.

The next morning Harry woke again to two erections pressed into him and decided to show the two men how much he loved them. Beginning with Remus first, he tentatively pulled down the werewolf’s pants and placed his hands around the base of the hard cock, pulling down to reveal the head, a drop of precome sitting on the end. He licked it up with a swipe of his tongue, grinning at the salty taste, and pulled the whole head into his mouth, he sucked on the pulsing cock sliding his tongue around and into the slit trying to get more of the tasty seed, Remus groaned in his sleep and brought his hand down to rest on Harry’s head forcing his mouth further down Remus’ member, Harry gagged as it hit the back of his throat and he pulled back suddenly. Remus woke to see the boy’s hands on his uncovered, erect cock with tears in his eyes, his own hand in his lap having fallen from the boys head. Realising what just happened he pulled Harry up the bed and cuddled him tight.

“Shh cub,” he whispered, “it’s okay, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you, but you shouldn’t be doing this cub. It’s not right what we did to you yesterday and the day before, we shouldn’t be touching you like this, you are our cub.”

Harry’s eyes welled with tears again at the rejection and tried to escape the man’s embrace, he cried out frustrated when he was held back, “I’m sorry Moony,” he cried, “don’t stop please, I love you and Paddy! I want to touch you... I want to make you feel good… and have you touch me and make me feel good too. Please, Moony, Please”

Sirius who had woken up and realised what was happening scooped the young boy up out of Remus’ arms, “Shh pup, it’s okay,” he crooned, “Or should I say Kitty now? You can’t really be my pup anymore can you?” He asked making the young boy smile, “It’s okay, we can keep touching, can’t we Moony” he asked glaring across at his lover for upsetting the boy, “We can keep touching but we have to be careful okay? We can’t tell anyone else it will be our little secret okay? And we won’t so anything more than we have already done until you’re older okay kitten? Moony?”

The two nodded, the later uncertainly, sure he enjoyed what they were doing but Harry was so young. He sighed, nodding more certainly, they would continue but they would be careful, Harry would not be abused, he knew what they were doing and it was because they loved each other. They would not take it any further until he was older. Buoyed by his new decision he pulled the pair back onto the bed with him, leaning over and kissing the boy chastely before snuggling down enjoying the feeling of holding his two lovers.

A/N: Not particularly happy with this chapter but it was a necessary evil, more smutty goodness in the next chapter which should be up later today. Chapter 7: Birthday Presents is especially for GeminiCancer for their request, you'll get part of what you asked for ;) the other half will happen later in the story.

Please review and let me know what you think and don't forget to ask for a specific kink or pair (or group) you'd like to see.

Cheers, MeToo
