Title: Blood Oath Expanded Author: BertaS Date: Sept. 2011 - Oct. 2014 - March 2015 Pairing: Severus and Harry Rating: NC 17 to be safe Word Count: 2392 Warnings: Slash - Vamp!Severus – light blood play Summary: A series of dabbles. Not my usual as Severus seems to be very possessive and domineering in these. The actual oath sat for a very long time in my unfinished thoughts file. I have added 2 more parts to this. And would like to wish atypicalsnowman a wonderful birthday. A/N: Anything you recognize I most likely stole so I could play with them and the oly payment I will receive is the warm fuzzy I get when you review.
1 - Blood Oath
Captured by Death Eaters and in the presence of Voldemort Harry was desperate. Then Snape was called, and ordered to kill him. As the man stalked toward him Harry did the only thing he could think of, saying, “Freely do I give what you desire. To you alone, my life blood I give as you require. Protected I will be, as though you were my sire.” And baring his throat he stepped into the man arms.
Severus shuddered as he tore his mask off and struck before anyone could stop him, drinking deeply, even as he Apparated them to safety.
2 - Semantics
Even after escaping from Voldemort, Severus refused to release his tight hold on the boy as he raised his head slightly and growled in Harry’s ear, "Have you any idea what you’ve just done Potter?"
Harry swallowed hard before answering, "I just blew your cover."
"Your oath!" Severus snarled while pulling back enough to stare into the young man's face. "Do you understand what you've just become?"
Keeping his head down, Harry said, "According to the book I read; it’s just semantics of course, but husband seems to be the most accurate word." He was watching his hands play with the buttons on the front of Severus' robes. "Although, I can see a case being made for concubine, or maybe… whore." Harry said with a little shrug as he glanced up through the hair that hung in his face. "It seems an equitable trade for your protection, Sir."
"Damn it, Potter, you already had that." Severus almost shouted. "You didn’t need to do this."
Shifting in Severus' embrace and half heartedly trying to pull away, Harry shouted back angrily, "Well, I guess you don’t have to accept my oath."
"Don't be stupid, Potter. I accepted the second your blood touched my tongue." Severus snorted. His hands were on Harry's upper arms as he gave the boy a little shake. "A stronger man than I could not resist the oath from one such as you." He pulled the younger man close again and brushed his lips against Harry's jaw, before once again letting his fangs sink into the boy's neck. He didn’t think he would ever tire of the boy's taste.
Harry whimpered a little as he mumbled, "But the book… Oh!" He closed his eyes and pressed closer to the other man gasping, "The book said…"
Licking the wounds closed Severus snarled, "Do not expect pretty words from me, Potter. You won’t get them." He then growled the word, "Mine." before crushing their lips together insuring Harry could taste his own blood on Severus tongue.
3 - Contemplation
Severus lay, leaning on his elbow, watching Harry sleep beside him. Reaching out, he gently moved a lock of hair so he could more easily see the boy's forehead and the jagged scar. His fingers trailed across one cheek to the small bruises his fangs had left on the slim neck.
He was unsure what to do about the boy. Severus sighed. He would have to release him from his oath, he knew that much, but he truly did not want to. He did not feel he deserved anything so pure and sweet in his life, but he wanted it. Wanted to keep and protect the boy.
He had closed the punctures, leaving no scars. If he was going to keep Harry, he should have left them, marking him for all the world to see. It could still be done, but he was reluctant to put a lasting claim on the boy. He knew that in making the Oath, Harry had only done what he had to do to survive. His fingers moved lower along the boy's collar bone.
There were other marks, small bruises, love bites. Severus was sure that he sported several similar marks on his own neck and shoulders. That thought made Severus smile a bit. Their love making had been wildly passionate. The boy's reaction to his advances had quite surprised him. No one had ever reacted that ardently to him, even when he resorted to using a thrall on those that he fed from.
Harry moved, curling closer, snuggling against Severus' chest and sighing in his sleep. Yes, Severus thought, he would have to release the boy. But for now he would pretend.
He lay awake holding the boy till morning, making believe that Harry was with him because he really wanted to be.
4 - An Oath Sealed
Harry came out of the bathroom with an odd look on his face. Severus raised one of his eyebrow and asked, "Problem, Mister Potter?" even as he looked around for and found his trousers.
Shrugging a little Harry answered, "I don’t know. Maybe." He raised his hand lightly touching the bruises on his throat. "You didn’t seal my Oath."
Severus' eyebrow crept higher as he slid his trousers over his slim hips. "Did you really expect me to? After all, an oath made under duress is quite worthless."
Harry scowled, "And last night, what about that."
Severus let out a long breath and looked away. "I should not have taken advantage. It was…"
Harry interrupted, "Damn it Snape. If you say it was a mistake, I will kill you where you stand." His eyes blazed as his fists settled on his hips. Laughter bubbled out of the Potions Master's lips and Harry scowl slid from angry to hurt.
Severus stepped forward pulling the young man close before whispering, "I'm sorry Harry, but it is very hard to take you seriously when you are completely naked and unarmed." He slid his hand through Harry's hair forcing him to look up.
Harry snorted and his left hand fisted in the light smattering of hair on Severus' chest. He wasn’t really pulling but it definitely got the man's attention. Causing the him to look quickly from Harry's face to his hand and back several times.
"I don’t make Oaths lightly." Harry held up his free right hand making quote marks in the air. "Duress or not." Severus started to shake his head even as he grasp Harry's left wrist. Harry sated firmly. "Severus, I give to you all that you desire. My life's blood I give to you as you require. Not for your protection alone, but because it is as I desire."
Severus shuddered and slid down to one knee in front of the young man. He then whispered, "Mine to keep." as he bit directly over Harry's heart causing Harry to hiss and arch in to the man's mouth. Severus released the bite and whispered, "Mine to protect." Harry's hands slid into Severus' hair as the man tilted his head and bit again and then again as he whispered, "Mine to love." Leaving a circle of marks over Harry's heart.
Harry grinned as he looked at his chest. He bent and just before he captured Severus' lips he whispered, "So mote it be."
When they parted some time later the marks had turned into silvery star shaped scars. Severus traced his finger around them as though they were a constellation. He smirked as he made several designs, a six pointed star then a Celtic knot then just a circle. Before kissing the center.
Harry laughingly asked, "The mouth of a cauldron?"
Severus looked up from his musing. "Perhaps." He then looked around. "We should not stay here much longer." The room was a small and dingy with no kitchen area. The only furniture was a bed two chairs and a rickety table. None of which the two men were currently using. It looked more like a cheap hotel room than a flat. It did not have a lived in feeling. It was merely a place to hide for a short while, one night as the most.
Harry sighed, "I know." He ran his hand over the other man's back stretching slightly. "I don’t really want to move though. I like it here, in your arms."
Severus snorted. "I told you not to expect pretty words from me, Potter."
"I don’t care. You've said the important ones." He looked around finding what remained of his clothing. "Are there spare clothes here, since mine are a bit," he chuckled as he held up tattered remains of his shirt, the collar the only thing holding the strips of cloth together, "indecent."
"I should take you back to headquarters as you are." He smirked. "But as I don’t intend to share you…" He shrugged one shoulder. "There should be something in the closet." Severus said as his smirk deepened.
Harry snorted as he rose to see what he could find to wear. "Damn right you're not sharing." He fixed the other man with a hard stare. "And neither am I."
5 - Departures
Severus was unprepared for the almost hysterical laughter that issued from his new bond mate as Harry looked into the tiny closet. His lip curled when the boy removed two outfits and choked out, "Which one do you think will look best?"
Severus snarled as Harry moved the frilly ladies bathing costume that appeared to be from the turn of the century in front of himself as he held the leopard print leotard with attached rainbow tutu to the side for comparison.
"Potter, are you telling me that is all that is in there?" Severus growled.
Still chuckling Harry put both outfits back in the closet and moved to take the shirt that Severus had just preformed a wrinkle removing charm on from the man's hand. "Most Pure Bloods are idiots, Severus. You know that, right?" he said still trying to stifle his laughter.
Severus snorted and watched the boy put on the shirt. He hated to admit even to himself that he liked the thought of his brat wearing his clothing. The shirt fully covered the young man in an almost indecent way as the rounded tail came down to mid thigh in the front and back but it barely covered his hips on the sides.
Harry finished buttoning the shirt while Severus finished dressing then watched as the Potions Master picked up his cloak and held it for Harry to put on. "Perhaps you should wear this as well. You are far too tempting as you are."
Harry smiled as he allowed Severus to wrap the cloak around him and fasten the frog at his throat. When Severus stepped back Harry grinned at him and struck a pose. He held the cloak open just enough to show one bare leg. "I feel positively indecent, Severus." Harry purred.
Severus smirked as he gathered the young man close while tucking the cloak around him to cover him completely, even going so far as to raise the hood. His actions caused Harry to chuckle again as he shifted finding the side slits that allowed him to slide his arms out to wrap around the taller man without opening the cloak. He lifted up onto his toes to press his lips to the Potions Master's.
Severus groaned as he returned the kiss. He soon took control and plundered Harry's mouth. They were both breathing hard when they parted.
Severus leaned his forehead against Harry's for a moment before saying, "We will Apparate at least five times before going to Headquarters. Understood?"
"Yes Sir." Harry said with a nod and a soft smile. He then waved his hand in a impressive display of Wandless magic that erased all evidence of their brief time in the tiny flat.
Moments after they left there was a soft pop as someone else arrived in the room, the Order was checking safe houses for their missing members.
6 - Arrivals
On their third stop Harry inhaled deeply and moaned, "Oh my god, what is that smell?"
Severus chuckled darkly as he replied with his own question, "To which one are you referring, Mister Potter?"
"Food!" Harry groaned, "I want whatever that smell is, Severus. Please?"
Severus smirk was almost wide enough to be called a grin. "You really want to get take away when Molly will insist on stuffing you to the gills as soon as we arrive at Grimmauld Place?"
Harry bit his lip as he looked toward the open air market he could just see through the brush that hid them from the crowds that swarmed the stalls. Severus continued, "I know you are hungry Harry. You were missing for four days. I should have taken you straight to Headquarters last night." Although considering the it was currently mid afternoon, he quite probably should have said 'this morning'.
"I'm glad you didn’t. I needed last night." Harry sighed as he lay his head against Severus chest. "Alright, let's go. But I reserve the right to make you bring me back sometime."
Harry and Severus were both surprised at how quiet the house was when they arrived at Headquarters. Even the kitchen was empty. Harry flopped down on one the chairs. "I'm pretty sure I was smelling fresh bread, and… lamb? I think. Maybe the curry?" At Severus frown he sighed, "If I go upstairs will you be able to find me when you get back?"
Severus smirked, "I usually use the third room on the left on the sixth floor. It has an in suite." It also had the advantage that not many people wanted to climb that many flights of stairs. In fact most of the Order never ventured higher the third floor.
Harry nodded as he rose and kissed the man softly before heading up the stairs as Severus left the house in search of food for his bond mate.
An: I still feel this in not complete. I have a vague idea for the next scene but… shrugs. Berta
