Capítulo 24: Bonds of Blood 0024: The Sanctuary
That night, after dinner, Fleur and Harry were in bed when she asked him, "Hey, do you want to go to that place?"
Harry frowned in confusion for a moment before saying, "We should name it. We can't just keep calling it your grandma's secret dungeon."
Fleur laughed, "That makes it sound like a sex dungeon where she kidnapped the guys she liked and sucked them dry."
"I mean…" Harry trailed off, "That ritual alter makes me think that you might not be too far from the truth…"
"I was kidding…" Fleur said dryly before continuing, "I'm sure my grandma was an upstanding person…" Fleur said without any confidence in her words.
"Right… The name, how about calling it our sex cave?" Harry laughed.
"Please, I know we'll be having a lot of sex there, but I would like a better name." Fleur didn't like it.
"You suggest something then." Harry was all for Fleur's idea.
"I consider that place to be a safe haven for the two of us. A sanctuary if you will… It can just be our Sanctuary." She tilted her head with an expectant smile. She clearly wanted him to like her name.
"Sanctuary, huh… I like it." Harry smiled and agreed with a shrug, "Would you like to go to our Sanctuary with me, Fleur?" He asked as he extended his hand with the control orb in his palm.
"With pleasure." She held the orb with him. In that instant, they both disappeared from the house with a crackling sound.
…
The Sanctuary.
Harry and Fleur directly appeared in the room with the altar and the entire chamber automatically lit up with their presence.
"It was also a Portkey?" Fleur asked Harry with surprise.
"Yep, though it can only act as the Portkey when we're both touching the orb." He told her.
"Would it work if there are two orbs?" She asked.
"Pretty sure, yeah. If you have one orb and I have the other, we should be able to will the Portkey to take us there as long as we will it to bring us here at the same time." He told her. He'd spent some time checking out the orb in his free time.
"We should learn some construction spells… They would come in handy when I want to make some change to the place" Fleur said.
"What do you want to do?" Harry asked her.
She said, "I want to create an arch at the entrance that says, The Sanctuary. Whenever we appear, we should know that this place is our sanctuary…" She had that excited smile on her face that Harry always found irresistible. Without saying a word, he walked up to her and grabbed her waist.
Fleur yelped when she felt herself being pulled into Harry's embrace. She instinctively closed her eyes a moment before his lips pressed against hers in a loving kiss, "I love you…" He said with a smitten expression.
"I love you too, my 'Arry…" She held his face with both hands and pulled him back to continue their kiss.
"Come. Let's check out the library here…" Fleur said after she was satisfied with the kiss and pulled him by his hand to the Library area.
"These are a significant number of books… I hope there's a nice indexing system…" Harry muttered as he looked at the 10 imposing shelves that were at least 40 meters high as they touched the ceiling of the already really high room.
"I don't think there's any indexing, 'Arry," Fleur said after they took a round through the library.
"I wonder…" Harry thought as he pulled out the sphere and willed it to show him the indexing, "I knew it!" He said as he saw a sort of parchment appear on the surface of the sphere, "Here." Harry duplicated the orb and handed the other one to Fleur.
"I want this one." She cheekily grabbed the one that Harry was reading.
"Hey!" He looked at her with annoyance, but she teasingly showed him her tongue before focusing on the index, "The pain of this woman… She regularly bullies me and I can't even do anything about it." Harry lamented to the air.
"Bullshit, you take your revenge and then some every time we do anything intimate." Fleur retorted.
"The difference is that you like it when I punish you." Harry's words left Fleur speechless as she said, "I'm not talking to you." She turned her focus to the orb in her hands.
"Yeah, whatever." Harry shook his head and grabbed Fleur's arm, "There are thousands of books here, even browsing through the index is going to take a while, come on." He pulled her to the stairs, though she didn't budge. Seeing Fleur's pouty face, Harry just shook his head and wrapped his arm around her waist before putting her over his shoulder. Fleur yelped at his action and started shouting, "I'm being kidnapped, someone, save me!"
Harry just laughed and threatened her, "Scream all you want girl, you're in my sanctuary now. I can do whatever I want with you whenever I want to do it."
When she kept shouting he continued with an unscrupulous tone, "And if you don't shut your trap, I'll shove my cock down your throat."
Fleur started whimpering instead and said something along the lines of him being a bully.
Harry ignored her antics and went to the other area before sitting in the armchair. He also put Fleur in his lap as her back rested on one of the armrests and her legs dangled from the other side.
When he saw her still annoyed and looking away from him, he gave into her silent demands, "All right, I'm sorry for bullying you." He rubbed his nose on her cheek, "Will you forgive your man, hm?" He asked her.
"Maybe." She was still playing hard to get.
"What do you want? I'll do anything, I promise." Harry coerced her.
"I'll tell you later. But you can't renege on it." She pointed her finger at him.
Harry just smiled and said, "Of course not." He said and grabbed her finger into his mouth. The maintained eye contact with her as he sucked her finger for a while. At which point Fleur's allure was already leaking along with some other juices that Harry could feel staining his pajamas.
After he freed her finger, Fleur was a little dazed and he focused on the orb with the index. He just held her close and started browsing.
'There are quite a number of ancient arts… Huh, there's blood magic here too. I wonder what the relation this has with the Indian blood Magic system that Sirius talked about…' Harry thought about how Sirius needed a blood ritual to use his blood as his focus.
"'Arry, there are so many self-enhancing rituals that we can do using each other's blood…" Fleur showed him the titles of multiple books that had rituals that utilized the blood of two bonded partners.
"Cool, we'll pay attention to them later…" Harry bookmarked the books that he thought would help them at some point. The sphere allowed him to highlight the books in the index. It would make things easier later on.
'Let's look for the book that actually explains this place. I refuse to believe there's no manual or at least some sort of instructions on how the ritual circle works…' Harry started looking with purpose.
'Rituals… Rituals… Rituals… Bloor… Hair… Skin… Wand?! Anything close to that person?!' Harry was a little terrified as he looked at the kinds of books that Fleur's grandmother had. Even something that was regularly used by someone can be used to cast a ritual. He wouldn't know the effects of it until he read the book, but each topic had its own separate book and it freaked Harry out a little.
Moving on to the next alphabet, Harry noticed a book called The Sanguine Cradle, "Fleur."
"Hm?" She looked up at Harry.
"I think I found the book about the circle at the center. I'm guessing that it's called The Sanguine Cradle." Fleur looked at the highlighted name on her orb.
"Well, we're making progress. We've at least found something that might relate to this place…" She was happy. She moved back to look through the orb after that.
Harry also continued browsing through.
"'Arry, I think I've found a way to get stronger through sex," Fleur said with shining eyes. Harry's immediate reaction was a cough as he asked, "What?"
"Look." She highlighted the name, "The Pleasures of Magical Intercourse. I don't know how it's different from the normal stuff, but I want to have magical sex with you." She said with shiny eyes.
"Just highlight it and we'll look through it later." Harry smiled, knowing exactly what was going through her mind.
Fleur for dramatically sad and continued browsing. Harry ignored her antics.
As they continued browsing and highlighting the books that they felt would be relevant and useful for them, they didn't even notice the time passing. And Harry hadn't changed the state of the ceiling from its usual mirror state, so they didn't even realize it and it was already dawn.
"Let's go back, Fleur. We've spent quite a while here. We should get some sleep." Harry said with a yawn, "Fleur?" He asked.
That was when he saw that she was already asleep while cradling the orb in her hands. He shook his head and made two orbs merge back. He put them away and pulled out his personal Portkey to go back home. He couldn't use the orb to return to their home. The island's wards only allowed recognized Portkeys to enter. Harry didn't know what would happen if he used the orb, but he didn't want to risk it. He grabbed both his Portkey and made sure that he and Fleur were touching the Control Orb.
With Fleur in his arms, Harry disappeared with a crackle.
