Chapter 96: Declaration of love
Taking a deep breath, Rick exited the magical elevator to enter the DMLE. With how late it was, the place was almost completely deserted. That was more than fine with him and what he wanted to do. He walked by the Auror department then the law and legislation department. There were a few more he didn’t even know, nor care about, on his way to Amelia’s office. He came across no one while doing so. In front of a big ornate and old wooden door, Rick took another breath and knocked.
“Enter.”
He turned the door handle and went inside. Closing the door behind him, a quick motion of his wand locked it and another soundproofed the whole office. Giving Amelia a look, she was busy writing on parchment, head down and focused on the document.
“What is it?” she didn’t raise her head to have a look at who she was speaking to.
Rick found the sight very sad. She was slaving away without any emotion. He couldn’t think anything beyond the idea that she was miserable and that perhaps, it was partly his fault.
“We’re going home, Amelia.”
She stopped writing on the spot. After a few tensed seconds that felt like an eternity, she looked up. Before she could say anything Rick spoke again.
“We’re going home and we’re going to talk.”
With his wand, he pushed her chair back. He walked to her, grabbed her hand and pulled her up from her seat. She said and did nothing. Her face was as hard as stone. Her eyes were too but he didn’t care. Using her own personal floo they ended in the Leaky Cauldron then apparated to Potter Manor. He gave a nod to his mother and Andromeda while passing the living room and they went to their own. Making her sit on the bed, he sat next to her. He took a deep breath and began talking.
“Of all the people in my life there was only one person I believe who would never hurt me. That person was you. Not Lily who had already done so, not my mother that would do it for my own good. You. I was proven wrong and that hurt way more than any physical pain I felt that day.” That was what he started with.
He took her hand in his. He felt a slight tensing of her muscle, as if she wanted to squeeze his hand but hold herself back.
“That upsetted me more than you can imagine. I still am but I don’t want to be anymore. I want us to be alright and to go back to what we- No that’s not true.”
Her hand squeezed his tightly for a fraction of a second before it relaxed.
“I want more. I want more than just loving each other as brother and sister." The sound of a deep inhalation reached his ears and he knew that he needed to be careful with his words.
“Marlene pointed out to me that we do love each other more than what we said we did. We’ve just been denying it for twenty years. I… After thinking about it longly, I realized that… Had it not been for meeting Lily first I would probably have ended up marrying you once out of Hogwarts. Because we fit so well together. She also pointed out that you felt the same and-”
“I don’t.”
For the first time since she saw him, Amelia spoke. That was a good thing in his opinion. He couldn’t move forward if she stayed mute.
“You do. You’re just denying it.”
“You know more about how I feel than me, now?” there was a bit of anger in her voice.
“I would never pretend that I can. Your actions confirm my words though. You didn’t need me to break your betrothal contract. You could have done it yourself. I was just too dense and too young to understand why at the time. I was too dense and too young to notice that you backed off because you probably saw that I loved Lily. You backed off again when we began to have sex again and that I told you I was dating her. You broke easily when she began to be involved in our sex life. And all this time you convinced yourself siblings by choice is all we would ever be. You focused on your job and nothing else when you could have had your pick of men and both have a career and a marriage. We both know you could have made it work. Yet you chose not too. Because deep down-”
“Shut up!” she shouted in anger as she stood up.
“No. I will not. Not when you’re purposefully making yourself miserable.” He stood up and confronted her face to face. “I love you Amelia and I want our marriage to be real. Not an arrangement for our houses.”
“...” she said nothing but had a snarl on her face, with tears of rage falling down her cheeks.
“I’m very sorry for not noticing your feelings until now. I’m sorry for hurting you all this time. It stops now, however.”
He raised his arms and embraced her. She fought, tried to get away but his grip was stronger. No matter what she did, no matter how much and what she shouted he didn’t let her go. He didn’t know how long she did that but at some point, she relented. Too tired to continue. Instead she buried her head in his chest and sobbed loudly.
“Y-you c-can’t! You can’t do that to me! Not after twenty years! Not when our relationship had been well defined! You can’t turn everything that I based my life on upside down!”
“I can and I did because we would only get out of it happier.”
“... I hate you.”
Amelia didn’t shout the words. They were said softly in resignation. He knew she didn’t really mean them. It was her way to fight back one last time. To hang on something that she knew was now pointless to hang on to but made a great part of her life and who she was.
“Then hate me for the rest of our lives. I, however, will love you like you deserved to be loved.”
“...”
He heard her mutter something but it was so low that it was unintelligible.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Can you-”
“I’M PREGNANT!” Amelia yelled while looking up at him with an angry scowl on her face.
His eyes widened in shock for a second then a smile graced his lips.
“Perfect.” was all he said. He didn’t need to say more in his opinion.
He fell backward on the mattress, taking her down with him. A hand found itself on her cheek and stroked it lovingly.
“More reason to be a real and proper married couple, don’t you-”
“Oh, shut up!” She moved up his body and landed her lips on his. For the first time it was a real kiss full of love.
“You stupid, stupid, stupid man!” she was grabbing him by the collar of his robe.
“Your stupid man.”
“And Lily’s and Bella’s and whichever sluts you’re fucking on the side!”
“Now, that’s not fair.” He did his best to hide his amusement. “I don’t sleep on the side or at least I don't consider it like that. I’m just greatly encouraged to do so and only with women I’m allowed to.”
“STUPID! If only you weren’t so eager to please and love everyone! You need to learn to say no!”
“I don’t think I would be able to handle the guilt of that. Unless it’s life threatening.”
Amelia growled for a moment but let it go. It was because he had such a big and caring heart that she fell in love with him in the first place, despite the two years gap between them. She knew she wasn’t the only one who fell for it. She was just lucky that Lily and Bella were complete wackos and made the current situation of the family possible. She sure as hell wouldn’t have allowed him to sleep around or even take a second wife had she been his first.
“Who else?”
“Hm?”
“Andi?”
“What are you-”
“Who else are you having sex with? I want to know them all so I don’t curse them to oblivion and send them to life in Azkaban. I want to know who I have to compete with.”
“...”
He gave her a look and pondered if it was a good idea to tell her or not. It didn’t matter in the end she would find out anyway.
“Andromeda, yes. Narcissa too. They’re officially my concubines.”
“Narcissa?! You got the three Black sisters?”
“Lily wanted them all and she got them.” he shrugged. “Andi…wanted a second child and Narcissa found out about it and wanted in too.”
“Atria and… They’re all yours?!”
“Yes. That’s why they are my concubines in the first place, so the girls are set financially and protected in case I die. The children… they don’t know although they are smart so I’m sure some of them suspect it.”
“Okay… who else?”
“Marlene.”
Amelia frowned in displeasure. “I thought she was with Sirius and that she was joking when… Nevermind.”
“They broke up for good at the beginning of the year. They still loved the teens they were but there is no spark between the adults they are.”
“Poor Sirius, he spent ten years pinning after her.”
“Yeah. In any case… Marlene and I is fairly recent. I mean, we got back to it at the beginning of September. It will last.” he warned her.
“Alright. I can handle that.” She had no problem with Marlene. She had long been aware of their relationship during their school years. “Who else?”
“No one, although… Bella wants me to take Fleur and practically everyone wants me to take Nymie. The first for adding the allure in the Black family and the second because-”
“Nymphadora has the biggest crush on you.”
“God damnit, did everyone but me know about it?”
“Yes.” The chuckle that escaped her lips was heartfelt.
“Finally, Bella and Lily want me to bed Druella and my mother.”
Amelia lifted her head and chest from his torso to give him a befuddled look.
“You’re kidding?!”
“Nope. Druella declined but Bella still has the idea in mind. My mother…is my mother. I won’t go after her, no matter how much they plead and beg. Otherwise, there is no one else and thank god for that. There is only one me and I can barely deal with all of you. No more.”
To put an end to the conversation he drew his wand and pointed it at Amelia’s neck.
$Open$
Her collar unlocked and he fetched it under the turtle neck she had begun to wear to conceal it. It wouldn’t have bode well for her if everyone saw her wear a collar with the word ‘BITCH’ written on it. Amelia was the director of the DMLE and had a reputation to maintain.
“What about the piercings?”
He raised an eyebrow at her question. Amelia changed position to straddle him while having her back straight up. She removed her robe, then her top, then her bra to present him with her very naked and voluminous breasts adorned with two silver rings on her nipples linked by a chain.
“I think they suit you very well and that they will stay for now. I’m still a bit upset with you.”
“They’re shocking my nipples every twenty minutes! I spent the whole day with my nipples erect and hard as diamonds! I’m horny all the time! I have to charm my panties to hold everything my pussy is leaking and deal with the smell! Take them off!”
“Hmmm… Nope. I will have a talk with Bella about them. Lily’s too have an effect, they make her nipples overly sensitive. I didn’t know they were enchanted. I just thought they suited you well.” he replied and hooked a finger on the chain pulling it towards him and making Amelia move forward. “If I remove them it’s to switch them with normal ones.” He took a nipple in his mouth and sucked on it as if he was a baby. “Maybe I should make you all wear a pair.” he added once he sucked on the other.
Rolling them around, Rick waved his wand to undress them completely. After Bella in the morning and Marlene in the afternoon he was too tired to begin something with Amelia. As a result he spooned her, his hands resting over her womb with nothing but love. Amelia turned around for a peck on the lips then went to sleep, followed by Rick a few minutes later.
The next morning at Hogwarts, Bella was showing the werewolves area to Rose. Rose, who wasn’t very happy with her father being absent. It was now twice in as many days that he had let her down.
“Big enough, for you?”
“Yes. Although… Can we remove the tapestry? They will definitely be damaged, which is a shame because it’s such a cool story they tell.”
“The house-elves will soon. Once your father wards the room you’d be free to use it.”
“Where is dad? He was supposed to be the one to show me around.” The discontent in her voice went along the scowl on her face.
“He’s patching things up with Amelia.”
Back at Potter Manor, in Rick’s bedroom, Amelia was lying prone on the bed. Her head was pulled far back and she was screaming her heart out. Rick was above her, pulling her hair forcefully with one hand while tugging on the chain linking her nipples together. Mercilessly, he pounded her asshole like no tomorrow. He would use his third wife like a cock sleeve all day and couldn’t be present to show Rose a simple room. His relationship with Amelia was more important. He said as much with a patronus he had sent to Bella and Lily hours ago.
“Yesterday it was mom, now it’s Aunt Amelia…”
“Jealous?”
That took the wind out of Rose’s sails. She was feeling jealous. Never before had her dad not been here for her when she wanted. Bella had suspected and the nasty glare Rose sent her way confirmed it.
“I’m not jealous.”
“Hmhm.”
“I’m not!”
“Sure. You should cut your dad some slack, Rosie. He’s alone and has to cater to everyone’s needs.”
“He shouldn’t have-”
The gryffindor’s mouth ran faster than her brain but thankfully not by much. She was able to stop herself before she said something she would regret.
“Married me and Amelia? Have more than four children with only Lily because you’d have more time with him?”
“I-I didn’t mean-”
“You did. But flash news, Rosie, your father never asked for any of it. If you want someone to blame, blame your mother, blame your grandmother, blame me and blame Suzie, but do not blame your father for loving everyone so much.”
“What… What do you mean?”
Bella sighed. The explanation will be long but necessary, she supposed. Rose wanted to know how the adults’ relationships were to each other and more detailed than what’s been told to her since she was a child because she was at that age.
