Leaving Early

Lily and Hermione smiled at Remus. They looked at each other and then rolled their eyes as Sirius ran over to the trio and enveloped the werewolf in a gigantic hug.
Remus let out a long, put-upon sigh.
The girls giggled at their friends' antics.
A stoic Pure-blood walked up to the quartet. "Are you ready to leave?"
Lily narrowed her eyes. "Already?"
"We just got here," Hermione added.
"I don't care. I just want to go home," Lucius said.
Lily frowned. "Well, I don't want to go home. Do you Hermione?"
The curly-haired brunette shook her head. "I'm having fun."
"Well, I'm not," Lucius argued, "We're going home."
Remus and Sirius shared a look and backed away from the trio.
Lily put her hands on hips. "Oh really? Since when do you get to decide when we leave? Did Hermione and I ask to go home early when we were forced to suffer through that long and boring gathering last Friday night?"
"That was different."
Hermione scoffed, "Really? The only difference is your Pure-blood associates didn't make it a secret that they thought we were dirt underneath their shoes. Our friends are at least trying to give you a chance."
"I'll never fit in with your friends."
"We don't fit in with yours either," Hermione replied.
Lily stared at the ceiling for a moment. "When we got together, we both knew there would be differences of opinions. We having different beliefs is only the tip of the iceberg. We're actually having an argument about leaving a party early. Were we crazy to try this?"
Hermione stared warmly at Lily. She grabbed the redhead's hand. "I love you, Lily."
Lily squeezed the hand."I love you, too."
The girls stared at Lucius.
The tall blond cupped both of their chins. "We are so different, but it's what makes this relationship so exciting. I like different."
Hermione stood on her toes and kissed Lucius gently.
Lily watched the display and when Hermione took a step back, she kissed the man as well.
Lucius breathed heavily. "I want to be with both of you, but I think we need to set some guidelines when it comes to dealing with our differences."
"Tomorrow," Hermione whispered, resting her hand against his muscled chest. She licked her lips, her eyes glued to his impressive body, and suddenly, she wished they were alone so she'd be able to see some skin.
Lucius chuckled. "Hermione's looking a little flushed, don't you think, Lily?"
Lily laughed. Hermione was the least experienced out of the trio, so it was always so easy to get her worked up. "Oh yes, just a tiny bit flushed. Maybe we should leave after all."
Hermione nodded vacantly and allowed herself to be led out. "Yes, leaving would be good."
Lucius led his women out of the house. He had gotten his own way this time, but he would have to figure out how to make this relationship work. He wasn't going to lose his lovers, especially not because of his own uptight and pragmatic ways.
