blood bound

chapter 24: Threats of Bodily Harm

"Now, Harry, about the wedding," Molly began, smiling wide in an almost predatory fashion. Harry just cuddled close in fear, burying his face in Voldemort's neck from his position in his Dominant's lap with Severus shivering for the same reason at his side. Molly Weasley could be down right scary.

"Why does my godson like Snivellus more than me?" Sirius whined to the twins. Voldemort glared at the grim animagus as he felt Severus' full body flinch under his hands as Harry sent his own death glare at the grey eyed childish man.

"Call him Snivellus ever again and I will rip off your balls before feeding them to you, godfather or no," Harry hissed, fangs flashing in a match to his suddenly blood red glowing eyes. Narcissa snickered at the dumbfounded look on Sirius face as he blankly nodded his acceptance of the threat to his manhood, completely shocked that his sweet little godson would go so far in the defense of his arch nemesis.

"We warned you he'd be protective," Charlie pointed out almost smugly.

"But its just Snape," Sirius complained, with a pout. "Evil greasy haired Death Eater of a git. Besides I'm one of his dad's now, I have every right to keep Harry away from him."

Harry's eyes flashed briefly orange, almost shading into Basilisk yellow that would have killed or petrified anyone looking depending on how hard he glared and how much magic he added to his eyes as part of the glare. The sound of quiet hissing had everyone looking around for the source of the noise until they spotted Nagini poking her head out from under Voldemort's robes. They all followed her unwavering gaze to see some of Harry's venom splashed onto the table and eating through it like acid.

"Mate? Stop dripping venom or poison or whatever it is, you're eating through the table," Ron pointed out warily. Harry glanced down only to blush and make sure his fangs were firmly retracted before sitting back into his comfortable Voldemort shaped seat.

"If you ever insult either of my mates like that again what I will do to you will pale in comparison to Harry's threat. I would happily wait until he was done with you before I made you scream. Bare in mind that threatening one of my mates would normally have you handed over to Bellatrix as a plaything be greatful that Harry still holds some affection for you," Voldemort said pleasantly, enjoying how pale Sirius got as he realized they were both deadly serious. The hard swallow and reluctant nod from the former had Severus looking at them with barely concealed adoration that they could both clearly feel along the horcrux/mating bond.

"Our apologies, we think the Dementors screwed with his head more than usual during his imprisonment and he's been refusing to see a mind healer," Bill said apologetically, whacking Sirius on the back of the head for good measure. Nagini hissed in amusement, no longer bothering to keep quiet or hide as she stayed nice and toasty warm inside Voldemort's robes.

"Now, about the wedding," Molly tried again, her eyes gleaming in a type of fanaticism often seen in women faced with planning a wedding.

"~Does she think you are her hatchlings? Never mind, it does not matter what she believes. You are my hatchlings, no one else's.~" Nagini declared with an agitated hiss, snapping her jaws lightly at the over eager Weasley Matriarch, who responded with a disapproving glare.

"Please tell me I did not just hear that?" Harry practically begged his mates.

"Unfortunately you did, as did I. They are somehow fighting over us and the probable wedding plans," Severus confirmed with a grimace, startling a bark of laughter out of Sirius at their predicament.
