Suffering Part 4: New Blood

Torture

It was later in the evening, Y/N had taken Charlotte upstairs to the guest room with her. She had set up a desk there where she could sketch and come up with ideas for her next book she wanted to illustrate. 

Y/N leaned back in her seat with the baby cradled in her arms. She was wearing headphones connected to a spare record player she had brought up there for music. Y/N laid out her sketch pad and charcoal pencils. 

Instead of coming up with ideas for her book, she started sketching the beautiful baby's sleeping face. Y/N had become rather good at doing things one handed and this was no exception.

 Her music of choice this evening was a new Metallica album she had recently picked up from the record store. With the use of her headphones, she could play the music as loudly as she wanted. It was deafening. 

She noticed every little curve of the baby's face, especially focusing on the little pouty baby lips. Charlotte's face was beautifully plump with black little eyebrows, bob length raven hair with straight bangs.

 “What is better than a Princess, Miss Charlotte? That’s right.. A queen. You are Queen Charlotte. Or are you more of a Baroness? Your brother will be Baron afterall. So many decisions to be made,” Y/N giggled softly to herself. 

Severus had come up behind her but didn’t want to risk startling her and ruining the sketch. He stood to the side of her where he could get her attention without touching her. Y/N looked up at him briefly rolling her eyes as hard as possible and went back to the sketch in a sign of defiance. 

It looked as if Severus was turning and talking to someone, so she finally looked back to see the tall blonde haired man standing there. A little smirk spread across her lips when they locked eyes. 

Without acknowledging Severus, Y/N used her wandless magic to stop the record that was playing. She removed the headphones, laying them down on top of her sketch.

 She turned around in her seat more so she could greet Lucius. “What a lovely surprise. Did my Daddy come to play?” she asked hopefully. 

“Do I look as if I’m happy? Joyful? I came to punish you for your behavior, clearly,” the man glared at her with icy blue eyes as he held his gloved hands behind his back. 

Y/N’s expression quickly turned from a smile to a pursed face of annoyance. “Well in that case,” she said. She started putting her headphones back on her head until Severus roughly grabbed her wrist. 

“Let’s not be rude, Princess. Your Daddy came to see you,” Severus warned as he held an alert Stevie in his arms. “I don’t see a single Daddy in this room,” she replied blankly, pulling herself from his grip. 

“I’m going to lay the girls down and then we will discuss this,” Severus hissed at her. “Stevie isn’t asleep. Good luck, friend,” she chuckled. 

“Come down stairs and nurse her after you lay Charlie down,” Severus replied in a very frightening tone. “I’m not scared of you, if that’s what you’re trying to prove. But that being said, I will nurse my daughter to sleep,” Y/N replied as she got up from her chair Charlotte. 

She stared at Lucius as she walked past him, signaling she wasn’t intimidated by him as well. Y/N laid Charlotte down and then went downstairs to find her other baby. 

Y/N had her bear pajama hood up on her head as she walked into the living room comically. She walked over to Severus, extending her hands to the baby. Stevie reached for her mother immediately with a little giggle. “That’s my girl,” Y/N smiled at her. 

“Did you change her?” Y/N asked as she went to sit down in her usual chair, away from the men. “Of course,” Severus replied with annoyance as he sat on the sofa near Lucius.

Y/N unzipped her bear pajamas revealing her complete nudity underneath, except for her chastity belt she had been wearing. The man still hadn’t taken it off and she wasn’t going to ask. 

 She caught Lucius looking at her with amusement. Then, she one handedly zipped herself back into her pajamas as Stevie nursed. “Did Severus tell you I’m getting my arms tattooed tomorrow?” she asked with a cheeky grin. 

“He didn’t tell me that. I only heard you were acting atrociously. Saying and doing whatever you pleased, tsk tsk,” Luicus said with an icy glare. “I know, you both hate when an opinionated woman speaks for herself, don’t you? A shame to have such fragile egos,” she teased him. 

Y/N saw Lucius cast a spell on her and immediately everything went fuzzy in her ears. The two men were looking at each other talking about what they had planned. 

Y: FUCK BOTH OF YOU BASTARDS

Severus looked back at her and just shook his head as he told Lucius what she said. She had read it on his lips. Suddenly, she could see both of their lips moving  but it was as if she was reading a prompt.

Lucius undid the eavesdropping charm on Y/N asking, “How did you hear that?” he glared at her. 

“How do you know I heard anything?” she asked curiously. “Your face reacted with a little smirk when I said I one of us should fuck your mouth and the other spanks you,” Lucius replied suspiciously.

“I was just watching you two Chatty Cathys gossip, that’s it,” she replied.

 “I’m going to do it again and I want to see if you can continue reading our lips. Severus will confirm using legilimency,” Lucius told her. “Get on with it,” she replied blankly. 

 A half second later, it was fuzzy again in her ears. It felt like a loud vibration was playing in her ears simultaneously. It was a spell her mother had performed on her most of her life when her parents had talks about her. So it was used quite a bit. 

“I have to be able to see your lips, by the way,” she announced, unsure if she actually said it or not. 

She watched the men carefully as they sat back on the sofa, talking again. Instantly Y/N started chuckling as she watched them. 

Lucius said, “That little tricky witch. I wonder what she can’t do. I can’t believe I’m uttering these words but she looks very cute in her bear costume.” 

Lucius took the charm from her ears again. “Thank you. I have unicorn, panda, frog, dragon ones as well. Severus was buying them for me after every argument he started. He bought all they had,” she chuckled. 

“How long have you been able to read lips?” Severus questioned her with a raised eyebrow.

 “I suppose as a child. My mother would use the very same eavesdropping charm on me when she would speak to my father about me. That’s how I knew she hated me so much,” Y/N admitted. “Why have you not told me before now?” Severus questioned her again sternly. 

“Because it’s insignificant. I don’t go around doing it on purpose to anyone. I only used it in situations like that. I couldn’t care less what most people say,” she replied. “Very useful skill, one of many you keep hidden for some reason,” Lucius remarked. 

“Lucius, I like that we are speaking frankly now. Do you know about my water magic?” she asked him curiously. “Indeed, I know about all of you,” Lucius replied. “Do not ask him,” Severus warned her. 

“What happens if I do?” she smiled at Severus. “She wants to ask if you would use the cruciatus curse on her. As nice as she is to look at, she isn’t very bright. She believes torture could further her elemental abilities,” Severus announced to Lucius. 

“Wow,” Y/N interjected as she shook her head.
