The Grimm's Dungeon Bat

Chapter Two

Severus groaned holding his head. He had thought that Sirius was attractive, that he was actually a strong wizard. He looked at himself in the mirror, he was not that unattractive, but he was nothing like Sirius. Where Sirius's hair was in perfect waves, Severus's was straight and looked greasy due to potion making without protection potions it is reversable, but he just didn't care. Sirius had a natural charm that Severus could never hope to imitate. Sirius was outgoing, Severus preferred to stay in the library and read or in the potion lab. Sirius had given him firewhisky, and had been kind to him, but maybe that was all a ploy to get him to lower his guard. 

Severus groaned and got out of bed, calling for a house elf to tell him where his grandfather was. "Master is in the study, Young Master." The old thing nervously said before disappearing with a pop. That fueled the growing headache that Severus would hex Sirius for later. 

Tobias looked imposing at his desk, just as he had when Severus was eight and his mother begged her father to protect Severus. "Here, drink this. It will help." He held out a vial of swirling amber liquid. "A hangover potion Severus." Severus took it, embarrassed that Sirius knew he couldn't really drink well, but at least he hadn't thrown up as he had the first time, he had a drink with Lucius and Narcissa. "This isn't the first time I have had to give this to you. Perhaps drinking isn't for you." His grandfather smirked and Severus's face was flushed. "I am sorry. Sirius offered and I didn't want to be rude to the man I have to marry." Tobias nodded before standing.

 "You should know that I added the two child per house rule. You will need to carry four children, if your body can handle it only. I know that you are nervous about bearing children. My own father bore me, he said that there is nothing more magical than carrying your baby." Severus leaned on his grandfather, who pulled the boy close. "You and Sirius are powerful; your cores are matched. I pity the wizard or witch that tries to stand against you. I also pity the person who tries to harm a child with you as their mother." Severus lightly pushed his grandfather when he said that Severus would be the mother. "Grandfather, he hates me. Him and his friends they prank me relentlessly. Even Lily no longer speaks to me." He had been heartbroken when his only friend abandoned him. "She told you that you were a freak for having the gift. She was not worthy of your friendship. I know it is hard, but Sirius will be your husband, and if I know anything about those in House Black, it is that they protect those they marry." Tobias pushed a strand of hair that fell in his face, behind Severus's ear. 

Severus hated the thought of facing James, Remus, and Sirius again. Sirius had heard him giggle, he had giggled in front of Sirius Black. The man would use it to torture him, and he would never hear the end of it. 

Sirius waited for Severus at the entrance hall in one of the many manors owned by his family. "Severus, may I talk to you privately?" Severus nodded, his face a mask of indifference. 

"What do you want Black." Severus demanded, folding his arms. "I want to apologize for my past behavior." Sirius employed his best puppy dog eyes. "I would like to try and bury the hatchet so to say. I know that our past doesn't portray that, but I talked with James and Remus last night. They both agreed with me that we should all make up. You will be my husband, the father to our children, our school yard rivalry is childish. James and Remus will apologize tonight if you wish to see them." Severus nodded and Sirius offered him his arm. "I won't be the woman in our marriage." Severus glared and Sirius smiled. "I am offering because it will help when you carry our child. It also will be easy for you to lead me away from those you don't want to talk to." He said and Severus blushed. "Let's go. Your mother might think that we are working on a grandchild." Sirius smirked. "Oh, believe me Severus, when we make a child, it won't be in a office. We can have fun, but we will have a contraceptive spell in place until you feel ready for us to have a child." Sirius kissed his hand and Severus blushed when he said fun, feeling slightly better though about the child thing. He had feared that his future husband would force a baby on him.
