CEP's POV

Eventually Voldemort stood. Harry and Sissy looked at him as the man stored his pocketwatch.

"It's a couple minutes past midnight. You two can relax." He agreed and the children nodded. "Sleep. You have classes tomorrow."

"Yes, Sir." Sissy agreed and Voldemort approached the School Coach still outside the bedroom, picked him up and they heard them enter into the fire in the common room of their private quarters, travelling through floo. "What did that piece of shit do to you?" The girl immediately demanded, turning towards Harry.

"Infertility spell. Professor had to do a Counter Curse... Dark, what was just as painful."

Sissy sneered.

"I should have stumped all over him." She grumbled. "Will you be fine by yourself?" Was added questioningly.

Harry showed the necklace.

"I'm never leaving it again. I didn't have it on myself during the strike and that was why Professor Riddle wasn't warned beforehand."

"I'll make sure to remind you from now on." Sissy agreed.

Harry laid down and the girl tucked him in.

"Did you hear us talking?" He wondered as she blew up the candles around the room.

Sissy stopped on what she was doing and then looked back.

"I had been about to leave my bedroom when he said he'd never force you into an arranged marriage. I decided to wait and finish drying my hair to give you two time to finish it and then pretend that I didn't hear it."

"Thanks."

Sissy smiled back soothingly.

"You do know that this is the reason why he doesn't claim you as his Heiress, don't you?" She offered and he raised an eyebrow. "You can be his Equal and his lover, but you cannot be his Heiress and his lover. His Lady? Yes. Heiress? No. Every Slytherin realized that he was courting you in a way it would be your choice on the long run because of the simple detail that he doesn't claim that he has an Heir. He could just say that he has one without saying who it was. He did it so one day you could choose to be his Heiress or Lady. To give you that choice."
