Chapter Three

Christabel and Hortensia were walking down corridor having just come from their Ancient Runes class. Hortensia stopped short and turned to her twin.

"Have you noticed how Lilias and Kenneth have been acting lately?" she asked.

"Yeah," Christabel said, "they're all dreamy and get that far away look in their eyes." It suddenly dawned on them.

"Oh Merlin, they're in love," Hortensia squealed. The she frowned. "Why wouldn't they tell us though?"

"They probably just wanted to keep it to themselves for now Tensi," Christabel pointed out.

Hortensia realised that she was right. It what very like their siblings to be secretive so she shouldn't really have been surprised. The two of them carried on down the corridor and as they rounded a corner they caught sight of Lilias talking to a girl with reddish brown and bright hazel eyes. She stopped talking when she noticed her sister's approaching.

"Hi Lilias," Christabel and Hortensia said.

"Hey Tensi, Hey Christa," Lilias replied, "this is Hazel."

She turned to a Hazel and said; "Hazel, these are my sisters Hortensia and Christabel."

The three girls shook hands. It didn't long for Hortensia and her twin to figure out that this must be person Lilias was so smitten with. They grinned inwardly.

"So how did you two meet?" Christabel asked cutting straight to the point.

Lilias' cheeks turned pink and Hazel giggled at the sight. 'She's so cute when she blushes,' she thought. It was Hazel who answered the question.

"We do Magical Theory together," she said.

Christabel and Hortensia nodded just managing to keep the knowing smirks off their faces.

"Actually speaking of that we need to be there right now," Hazel said.

The four girls said goodbye to each other and Christabel and Hortensia watched as Lilias and Hazel walked away. Hazel had her slung casually around Lilias' waist.

...

Artemisia, Dracun and Saxon were staying with Molly and Arthur Weasley, who had become their surrogate grandparents. This was so Draco and Harry could have a quiet day to themselves. They were sitting at kitchen table looking at the letters that had arrived from their children at Hogwarts. Harry was reading the letter that Hortensia and Christabel had sent. One line in particular caught Harry's eye. Guess what? the girls had written, Lilias has got a girlfriend.

"Draco look at this," Harry said handing the letter over to his blond haired husband and pointing to the line that had got his attention. Draco read the sentence and groaned.

"It's starting," he said looking ever so slightly terrified at the prospect.

"It was bound to happen sometime," his emerald eyed husband pointed out, "I just hope that Lilias will be careful."

"You and me both," Draco agreed.

Harry and Draco knew that eventually their teenagers were going to experience what it was like to fall in love with someone. Merlin, their friends George and Angelina's nineteen year old twin boys were already engaged. The husbands sighed and hoped that their baby girl didn't end up with her heart broken.

...

Kenneth and Robert were sitting under a tree doing their homework. They looked up when shadows fell across them. Russell and Matthew were standing there and they were holding hands. The two who were sitting down exchanged glances.

"Is there something you want to tell us?" Robert asked raising an eyebrow.

The two cut straight to the chase.

"We're together," Matthew said.

Robert and Kenneth beamed at them and stood up to give them congratulatory hugs. Matthew and Russell thanked them and joined them on the ground.

Later on that night Kenneth was sitting by the fire in the common room staring into the flames. 'Matthew and Russell could tell each other how they felt. So why can't I tell Robert? he thought. He hesitated for a moment and then went in search of his friend.

Robert was on the quidditch team and Kenneth knew that they had just finished practicing. He left the common room and walked through the castle grounds to the changing rooms.

When he arrived he poked his head around the door. Robert was in there alone. And that wasn't all. He was half naked wearing only his jeans. Kenneth stared at his muscular back and practically drooled. Slowly he walked forward and put a hand on the sandy blond teenager's shoulder feeling the powerful muscles underneath.

Robert turned when he felt the hand on his shoulder. He found himself staring into Kenneth's stormy grey eyes that were dark with desire. He felt his breath catch. Could it be that Kenneth returned his feelings.

He didn't have to wait long for the answer. Kenneth pressed their lips together in a gentle kiss. Robert immediately brought his hands up and carded his fingers through the silvery blond hair. Kenneth nipped at Robert's bottom lip and Robert eagerly opened his mouth. As Kenneth pressed his tongue the golden eyed teen's mouth he pushed him up against a locker. Robert groaned and began sliding his hand down Kenneth's body until they rested on his hips. They pulled apart for a moment their lips almost touching.

"So," Kenneth breathed, "I guess you've probably figured out by that I like you."

Robert only nodded. "I like you too," he said.

And with that they brought their lips back together in a fiery, passionate kiss. Kenneth gasped when Robert began to move against him. He ground their hips together and Kenneth could feel his hardening member rubbing against Robert's which also starting to stiffen. Kenneth ran his hand up Robert's thighs and traced the waistband of his jeans. Slowly he slipped his hands into his briefs rubbed his new lover's manhood. Robert threw his head back with a groan and Kenneth moved his mouth along Robert's jaw and neck kissing, biting and licking as he went.

Without further ado he dropped to his knees and began to unzip the fly of Robert's jeans. Robert licked his lips and closed his eyes in anticipation. When Kenneth had the fly all the way undone he licked his lips and took Robert slowly into his mouth. Robert let out a low guttural groan as he was engulfed by the hot, wet mouth. Kenneth began to move his head back and forth licking and sucking all the while. Robert raised his hands and tangled them in Kenneth hair.

It was long before Robert felt himself release into Kenneth's mouth. He took a moment to catch his breath before pushing Kenneth against the lockers and proceeding to return the favour.

When it was all over the boys put themselves away and Robert pulled his top on. "So what exactly is this?" Robert wanted to know.

Kenneth thought for a moment. "Well it doesn't really have to be anything. I mean we don't have to be exclusive. We could just be friends with benefits. No strings attached," Kenneth suggested. Robert was silent for a moment while he thought about it.

"Yeah that works," he said grinning. Kenneth returned the grin and the two headed back to the castle talking as they normally did.

...

Hazel was walking Lilias to the Ravenclaw common room. They had chattered away while they were walking but now that they were outside they had fallen silent. Hazel finally got up the courage to ask the question that had been turning around her mind. "Would you like to come to Hogsmead with me this weekend?" she asked.

Lilias didn't even have to think twice. "Of course," she said.

Hazel beamed and then leaned in and gave Lilias a kiss on the cheek. Lilias smiled shyly.

"See you tomorrow," Hazel said softly.

"Bye," Lilias whispered. As she watched Hazel leave her smile grew was looking to this weekend.
