The windows were open and a gentle breeze swirled in the room bringing in fresh clean air. The house of silent except for the soft voices the two happy lovers used as they lay on the couch with a light blanket covering them for comfort rather than heat. Charlie was laying on his back with Harry laying on his front playing with Charlie's hand, tracing fingers and lines.
"I love your hand Charlie," Harry commented as he traced the long life line on Charlie's hand.
"Oh yeah?" Charlie asked with his eyes closed, enjoying the feeling of Harry's hand on his own as well the welcomed weight resting on top of him.
"Yeah…Do you know why I love you hand?" Harry asked with a mischievous grin as he switched to Charlie's left hand.
"No why?" Charlie asked with smile even though his eyes were still closed.
"Because of this gold band on your hand," Harry replied nonchalantly.
Opening his eyes, Charlie looked at Harry and said, "What gold band?"
Harry smiled and brought Charlie's left hand up so Charlie could see.
Charlie was wondering what his love was thinking and looked to the now visible hand only to freeze at the gold band glittering on what used to be his bare left finger.
"Um love that wasn't there before," Charlie managed to get out after several seconds of gaping.
"Because I just placed it there," Harry answered content to let his man figure it out.
Charlie knew that his boyfriend had subtly or not so subtly proposed to him and Charlie was in shock. Not because his boyfriend proposed but because Harry beat him to it. He had planned on taking Harry out to a fancy dinner in Seattle with a stroll in the park where he would propose as the moon rose.
"Well damn," Charlie muttered as he shifted out from underneath Harry, "stay here."
Harry stayed put where Charlie placed with an amused grin as he watched his sexy soon to be fiancé walk upstairs. After last night when they had finally made love, Harry knew that Charlie was his for all eternity. Actually he had known that Charlie was his from the beginning and he has been carrying a ring with him ever since they had started dated back in February.
Smiling Harry stretched out on the couch, happy that he had called in this morning, telling them that he was taking today and the next few days off. Not only because they had another round of amazing sex but because they were able to have a morning after with a later breakfast as Charlie had slept through Teddy leaving for school and Harry had joined him back in bed. Not to mention that his superiors were thankful that he was finally using some of his vacation.
Harry could hear Charlie thumping down the stairs muttering about 'fiancé who jumps the gun, ruining his plans for the weekends'.
Harry merely continued smiling as Charlie came back to the couch sitting in front of Harry, Charlie held out his hand waiting for Harry to place his hand in Charlie's. Harry placed his right hand in Charlie's hand and Charlie just looked at Harry with un-amused look while Harry snickered and placed the correct hand into Charlie's grasp saying, "You really need to specify, love."
Charlie suddenly smiled a lecherous grin as he slid the ring he had purchased for Harry onto Harry's ring finger saying, "hmmm, like this morning where you moaned out more? More what love? Or when you yelled out 'there!'. There where?"
Poor Charlie still hasn't learned that Harry is a Marauder and never backs down from a challenge.
"Oh, my bad love, I hadn't realized that you liked dirty talk," Harry whispered into Charlie's ear as he moved to sit up so that he was level with Charlie rather than laying down, "If I would have known that you wanted me to say, 'Thrust your big cock at that angle' or 'shove your cock deep with in me, make me feel you' I would have," Harry purred as moved to straddle Charlie's lap, rocking his hips against Charlie's hard on.
Harry smirked as Charlie couldn't say anything as his eyes had closed and his hands found their place on Harry's hips pulling Harry's hips down a little harder and a little faster as he slunk a little into the couch.
"Should I say, 'Charlie I need you to fuck me now'?" Harry asked as he kissed all along Charlie's jaw, loving the feeling of Charlie's hands clenching and unclenching his hips as rocked their hard-ons against each other.
Unfortunately for the couple they had misjudged the time as they froze as they heard the door opening and Teddy yelling out, "I'm HOME!" before running up to his room to dump his stuff.
The frozen horny lovers felt their erections deflate as Harry slumped against Charlie who muttered, "Well wasn't that a mood killer."
Harry laughed and placed a kiss on Charlie's lips promising that they could continue later tonight, then Harry was out the door calling Teddy down to help with a snack since Seth was coming over again today.
Charlie sighed and let his head hit the back of the couch. 'Time flies when you're having fun,' Charlie thought, or when your impish fiancé decides to have fun with you. Lifting his hand, Charlie looked at the gold band glittering on his left finger and smiled. He knew that this time around it was forever. He couldn't imagine that now that he has placed a ring on Harry a life without him. He also knew that he would fight tooth and nail to keep Harry besides him always. No one was going to keep Harry away from him.
As Charlie went to get up from the couch to join his chattering family, an urgent knocking was sounding on the door. Frowning Charlie made his way to the door. Opening it, he was nearly bowled over as a teenager resembling a worried puppy rushed through the door yelling out, "Harry! Harry! I'm sorry!"
Shaking his head, Charlie followed the puppy who was fumbling to the kitchen.
Harry was standing at the counter slicing some fruit to go with the afternoon snack of mini sandwiches listening to Teddy tell about his day.
"Then Lizzie said that her and her family went camping this weekend and that they saw a bear! Lizzie said she wasn't scared though cause her dad had gun. That her dad was the strongest out there. I point blankly told her you were the strongest and she said, nah uh-" Teddy was interrupted by Seth yelling "HARRY! HARRY!" then a loud CRASH as the kitchen table slid into the wall followed by an "OMPH!" as Seth fell to the floor.
Charlie chuckled and helped Seth up saying, "Calm down, it won't do us any good if we had to take you to the hospital."
"Sorry!" Seth said hanging his head in shame before remembering why he had rushed here on his dirt bike rather than his wolf, "I'm sorry Harry! You said that it was a secret and I tried to keep the secret but I had forgot that when I shift everyone hears my thoughts! I was only thinking about Teddy being magical and how awesome it was to have been able to hang out with Teddy yesterday, when the pack was questioning me about what I said about Teddy being magical and I panicked for a split second before saying that meeting Teddy was like a fairy tale, since we don't always get to meet our imprint and some accepted that and left it at that but Sam and Jacob were more skeptical and they have been trying to corner me all day, I as soon as I could leave school I did and came right here."
Teddy and Charlie were staring at Seth wondering just how he was able to say all of that without breaking for a breath. Although Teddy was also wondering why Seth was acting he had done something horrible to an alpha? Teddy watched as Seth was fidgeting as if waiting for scolding and wouldn't meet his dad's eyes. Teddy's eyes widen as a thought came to him, Did Seth see his dad as his alpha? Did Seth even realize it?
"Seth it's okay. Breathe. You did nothing wrong. Your fasting thinking to cover up was excellent. This can be a simple fix," Harry said soothingly as he laid a reassuring hand on Seth's shoulder.
"How is it simple?" Seth asked amazed that he wasn't going to get yelled at or not being allowed to see Teddy.
"Chech, Dad is awesome. I bet he would use an oath to help keep you from thinking or saying something," Teddy said walking over to Seth giving him a hug comforting his clearly panicking mate.
"So you have been listening to what I teach you?" Harry said moving away from his son and his son's mate.
"Of course I listen to what you teach! You know more cool things about magic than those stupid books you have me reading," Teddy replied as if it was the most obvious in thing in the world.
"You need to learn the basics before you can attempt what I do Teddy," Harry said in a lecturing tone as he gestured for them to sit at the table as he brought over the mini-sandwiches and fruit.
Teddy rolled his eyes and sat on Seth lap while Charlie steadfastly ignored that his son was sitting on Seth's lap. Harry sat beside Charlie and patted his leg in sympathy as he began explaining what they would do to fix the problem.
"What we will do is I will write out a phrase for you to read. With this phrase it will make a magical binding oath to help you keep your word. The oath will allow you to talk to those who know about the magical, like us, but will block any thoughts and words about magical world when around anyone else. Then Teddy with my supervision will teach you how to guard your thoughts yourself."
Teddy beamed at his dad at allowing him to teach his mate something. While Teddy knew that he was nowhere near the level his dad was at occulumency he was decent at clear his thoughts and mind as well knowing when someone was reading his mind. He couldn't wait till he was older to learn how to build defenses around his mind. He had a wicked idea about moats and castles and a huge alligator that ate anybody not welcome which means anyone that the drawn-bridge isn't let down for! Mwahaha. Oh and booby traps all across the castle leading to the dungeon where a space alien sat waiting for it's next meal.
"..dy? Teddy….Teddy!" Teddy was shaken from his thoughts on people being slimed and eaten by his space monster.
"Yeah?" Teddy asked looking around to his dad smirking, his pa looking at him with a questioning look and Seth was looking concerned.
"Was it the alligator named George? Or Space Alien with tentacles?" Harry asked his son. He knew that once he had told Seth that Teddy would be teaching him basically minor occulumancy that Teddy's mind would drift to what he wanted his defenses to be. Harry told Teddy when he was twelve that he would teach Teddy more occulumancy than just the basics of clearing your mind and awareness.
"Space Alien with slime!" Teddy corrected confusing everyone but Harry.
Harry laughed and summoned paper and a pen writing down the oath he wanted Seth to say while Teddy began explaining what he wanted Seth to do.
"Okay Seth after you get gone saying the oath, you and me are going outside and I'll show how to clear your mind," Teddy stated with Seth just nodding thankful that he was still accept here and not being chewed out. It seems that every time he did something wrong Sam or Jacob would lecture him making him feel the worst but Harry was understanding and helping Seth with the problem rather leaving him to figure it out or just dealing with it without him.
"Ok Seth, this is what I want you to say," Harry stated sliding the paper over to Seth who shifted Teddy over on his lap to grab the paper.
"So I just say these words?" Seth asked reading through the words seemed simple enough.
"Yep," Harry answered leaning back in his chair smiling when Charlie placed his arm behind him.
Taking a breath, Seth recited the words on the paper, "I, Seth Clearwater, vow to keep the Magical World a secret from those who do not know of it with the help of one Harry Potter allowing his magic to help keep the secret. So mote it be."
There was a flash of light and Seth asked, "That's it?"
"Yep, my magic will help you evade questions and help keep your thoughts about magic locked up so the others can't fish it from you, even the Cullens."
"How did you know…"Seth trailed off sheepishly seeing Charlie's brows furrow and Harry roll his eyes.
"Exactly. So how about you and Teddy go start learning how to mediate while Charlie and I clean up in here," Harry said with an encouraging smile shooing the two outside.
Teddy eagerly hopped off of Seth's lap and pulled Seth's hand to go outside leaving Charlie and Harry sitting in silence as Charlie gathered his thoughts about the Cullens reading his mind. When Charlie began to speak Teddy popped his head back in and asked, "Was that rings on your hands dad and pa?"
Charlie froze while Harry chuckled and said, "Yes they were Teddy."
"YES! About time dad! Sheesh I thought I would have to propose for you!" Teddy said laughing unaware that Charlie was looking incredulous at Harry while Harry had a faint blush raise up his neck to his cheeks.
"TEDDY!" Seth whined from outside.
Laughing Teddy said, "Congrats and I approve."
Then Teddy was out the door missing a skin changing hex from his dad who was looking distinctly uncomfortable.
"Harry?" Charlie asked turning to face his fiancé fully.
Harry cleared his throat saying, "Yes?"
"What did Teddy mean 'about time'?"
"Well…um…I've had the ring since we first started going out," Harry said looking everywhere but Charlie.
"That sure huh?" Charlie asked smugly.
"Well technically I had fallen in love with the first time I saw you," Harry replied fidgeting slightly.
Placing a hand on Harry's cheek, Charlie had Harry turn and look at him.
"God, I love you," Charlie whispered as he leaned in for kiss. Charlie felt Harry sigh into the kiss and pulled Harry closer, deepening the kiss as he slanted his head for better access to his love's wonderful lips and tongue.
As breath became a necessity, Charlie pulled back to look at the dazed eyes of his fiancé. Leaning in, Charlie whispered a naughty thing causing Harry's breath to hitch. The next moment Harry was yelling for Teddy to be good as Harry began pulling an unresisting Charlie up the stairs shedding clothes as they went, not caring.
"BE GOOD TEDDY!" echoed throughout the backyard causing Teddy and Seth to look towards the back door with raised eyebrows before Teddy fell laughing to ground.
"What's so funny about your dad telling you to be good?" Seth confused as his imprint was giggling.
"Dad finally proposed to Pa and I'm pretty sure that Pa just found out how long Dad has had the ring and well they are sowing their oats," Teddy explained looking at like 'how was that not obvious?'
"Oh. We should throw them a party then!" Seth said gleefully clapping his hands together.
"Totally! But right now back to the breathing exercises," Teddy said stern once more. Which in Seth's eyes made Teddy look adorable.
"Right, okay closing eyes and breathing in," Seth said inhaling, then exhaling he said, "and out focusing on relaxing body one by one."
"Correct, let me know when you are relaxed."
AN – Ok my Bella blood thirsty readers/reviewers, the Cullens will be making an appearance. So don't worry. But I do have a couple questions that I need you to answer: One do you want Bella and Charlie to make up? Or have her disowned and ass kicked by Harry and Teddy? Second do you want all of the Cullens to show or just Bella and Edward? I know quite a few have expressed already that they would love to see Bella's ass handed to her while a couple others want them to make up; so remember that majority wins.
Also how did you like this chapter?
