CHAPTER 47

"Alpha." Gerry whispered, giving a deep bow to Harry before walking towards him and taking Harry's coat of and placing it on the coat hanger. Harry smiled down at him, pulling him in and giving him a kiss on his lips.

Gerry smiled, stepping away from Harry as the older let go of him. Harry fished out a small violet box from his pocket and handed it to Gerry, who accepted it with a small bow of gratitude.

"Thank you alpha." Gerry whispered, opening the box and smiling as he looked at the small pearl.

The pearl looked beautiful and they weren't cheap either. Especially the type of pearl Harry had gotten for Gerry.

Harry smiled a little. Pulling Gerry near him and kissing him on the forehead. Gerry seemed to melt into his alphas arms. He nuzzled his face into Harry's chest, making the older smile. Harry ruffled Gerry's hair and the other gave a content sigh as Harry massaged the omegas scalp.

"Let's go and eat." Harry whispered. Gerry pulled away from him and nodded.

Severus looked down, blinking away tears. The tray in his hands felt too heavy and the water seemed to turn into a blazing fire. He looked up and glared at the two figures that were embracing each other.

It was common for Severus to give Harry a glass of water when he entered. And Tom would give him a hug or kiss as a greeting. And then Lucius will take Harry's coat off and tell the older to freshen up as he would get something to eat.

Sometimes when it takes Harry longer to get home from the other office or from his patrols, Lucius and Tom would be in the kitchen. Lucius would be dishing out food and Tom would be setting the table as they waited for Harry to come home. Severus would get a glass of water to Harry when he entered and would take his coat off and inform him that Lucius and Tom were in the kitchen and ask if he wishes to eat first or freshen up, which Harry would always chose to eat first.

Severus walked back to the kitchen, not bothering to give Harry his water. If Gerry was going to be his trophy omega, then he would let him be that. He didn't need to welcome him because he had already been welcomed.

Severus slammed the tray on the counter, making Lucius flinch. The plates in Lucius's hands almost falling. He looked at Severus and then at the water.

"Did something happen?" Lucius asked, placing the plates down and placing a comforting hand on Severus's back.

"That brat, Gerry happened." Severus growled. It wasn't often Severus lost his composure. But when he did lose composure, especially when he let his anger show it was safe to say that you are not safe.

Gerry would most likely suffer one way or another. Severus isn't going to back down, until he causes himself to lose something or Gerry some sort of loss.

"I hate him. Look what he made me become. I am not some sort of maid to be doing these things. I hate this, I can't even practice my spells or even talk with my death eaters." Tom cried out, pushing the pot away from him. His hands shaking from the burns he had gotten while trying to make a descent meal. He made edible food because of Lucius's help, if not for his help he would have poisoned everyone without meaning to.

The three soon made their way to the dining room after telling the house elves to set the table and send the dishes there. Lucius was again sat on the other side of the table. Tom and Severus were sat beside Harry. Gerry was sat on Harry's lap.

The children were to stay at the castle because Harry ordered it. And only the mates were to stay at the Potter manor. Lucius was glad that they were sent away and didn't have to see their parents fighting because it could affect them. But he was also saddened because now he was away from his children. And Harry had forbidden the children to visit the manor without a notice. Severus, Tom and Lucius could visit them though. It was quite sad that they were not free to enter their own home without a notice and permission.
