Sirius was dreading what was to come next because despite never wanting to leave Harry's immediate vaccinate again, he could feel his instincts urging him to return to the estate. Harry had introduced him to most of his bonded, Harry mentioned that one was still out due to work. Harry himself was currently being fussed over by the ones he introduced and Quinn and Devrim, the latter was glaring daggers at Sirius while Harry wasn't looking in his direction. Instead of returning the looks like his instincts urged, Sirius looked toward the man that felt the most like the estate. Who just so happened to be the reaper that Adien was hunting. in other words, Fuck. Hadrien, Sirius thinks, was looking at Sirus too.
"As happy as I am that you could be reunited with my submissive, what exactly brought you to our home last night?" His tone was definitely accusatory, and Sirius definitely did not miss the very pointed possessiveness of his pup.
Before Sirius could respond another voice popped up. George "Cool it Hadrien, you don't need to interrogate Sirius. He cares about Harry as much as any parent would." strangely that seemed to temper the Reaper's frustration. Sirius shot the twin a smile but decided to answer anyway. "I was sent by Aiden to find the residence of the reaper that took his consort. Another hound, the one that has been training me in being a hound, was sent to see if any new groups joined the reaping last night. presumably, that would be your group. I don't however know if said hound managed to find you before you came back here." Harry perked up upon hearing that.
"You know where Hermione is??" Harry asked, all but bouncing over to Hadrian's side, looking up at Sirius. Sirius was mildly startled at how comfortable Harry was with the casual contact, leaning into the Gheyo as he slung an arm over Harry's shoulders. "Hermione?? Is that who she is? I haven't seen Adiens consort, I was only told to find the reaper that took her from a forest." Harry looked up at his Ace. "That was Hadrien. She was alone in the forbidden forest so we brought her back with us." Harry commented. Sirius had to suppress a whine at that. there was no way that he could ever turn one of his pups bonded over to the man he had seen kill half his court in the last week.
One of the other Gheyos bristled at that, his blue eyes gleamed with a dangerous light. At that moment the door opened and another figure entered. Harry chirped happily and rushed into the newcomer's arms. After a quiet discussion between them, Harry turned to Sirius. "Will you be okay for a few hours? I have a promise to call in" Sirius forced a light smile, not wanting to think about what his pup, who he changed diapers for, was on his way to do, and nodded. Sirius would never stand in the way of his pup's happiness. And bonding with his soul bonded could never be anything but happy.
Once Harry and the other man had left the room and earshot, Sirius turned towards the reaper and blue-eyed Gheyos. "I have to return to the estate and report in. Or Adien is going to hunt me down here." The two men shared a look at his words. "we'll come with you to sort this out fully." said Hadrien. Brishen scoffed but nodded "I have a message for the mongrel." Sirius hoped that whatever Brishen had to say didn't come back to bite Sirius in the ass for being the one to bring him there. After a few words with his King, the trio set off to the shadow haunts and the likely furious hellhound that resided there.
When they arrived at the hounds residence they were swiftly directed to the main hall where Adien was lounging in a chair. Next to him sitting properly but with a fierce glare was a young witch that Sirus could now recognize from his past life. Hermione seemed to be too busy trying to kill Adien with her eyes to take proper notice of their arrival.
"And what exactly is the meaning of this? I sent you on simple reconocense. Find the reaper's residence then report to the reaping. what do you do? You don't show up for the reaping and you bring that foul reaper into my home!"
Sirius ducked his head in submission and went to speak, but Hadrien found the words first. "I meant no offense when I took the witch from the forest. I only wished to reunite my submissive with his sister. They are soul siblings, and it has been hard for him to accept that she is safe in your care without seeing her himself." The witch seemed to perk up at the words, looking over toward the group.
With a gasp, she lurched out of her chair and practically flew over to them. She came to a stop mere feet from him. "That's impossible, how are you here?? You died! We saw you die!" she practically screeched.
Sirius smiled grimly. "It's really me Hermione Granger. Time traveler, Hippogriff rider, Helper of escaped convicts, and best friend of my pup." With a sob, she threw herself at him, and clung there for a moment before pulling back.
"Oh, Merlin! we need to go back! Harry Needs to see you! He's been having a really rough time recently, on top of losing you. I tried to help, but something happened to me over the summer and I haven't been myself."
Sirius chuckled at the word vomit and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Easy there Hermione. Didn't you hear what the man said? He brought you from the forest to his submissive, your brother?" He watched as the information turned around in her head before she gasped and spun on her heel to face Hadrian.
"You know where Harry is?" a nod "You're bonded with him!?" another nod "Take me to him. Now!" That got a chuckle instead. "I don't think you really want to see him right this very instant." That just made Hermione more peeved and more instant."Yes, I really think I do. You just said he's been wanting to see me. I've been wanting to see him too, so take me to him."
This time it was Brishen that responded. "No can do little witch. You'll feel the earthquake soon." That spurred Adien into bothering to contribute to the conversation. "Why in all the realms would there be an earthquake?" Brishen smirked and turned his burning gaze towards the head hound "Our submissive bonding to Raspen of course. You will keep your muzzle out of the affairs of my nest, you will allow my submissive to see both his sister and his father without interference of any sort. Am I understood?" There was a brief battle of wills before Adien reluctantly nodded. Just then the ground shook, throwing Hermione back into Sirius and the both of them tumbling to the floor. once it passed Hermione sat up, Sirius chose to stay on the floor for the moment before he got up and returned to Harry's house with Hermione in tow.
