Big THANK YOU and shout out to Bicky Monster for helping me with one of the scenes in this chapter! Without Bicky's help the scene would not have turned out as good as it is.
Warnings: SLASH from non-main pairing! Nothing explicit, but it is very obvious what is happening/will continue to happen.
I chose to go with this pairing first, not because the # of votes but because this the plot bunnies attacked me after their name was added to the possible pairings list.

'…' = thoughts or quotes

Dumbledore sat in his office, stirring his tea, after sending off a message for Harry to meet him in a few minutes. Since classes were done for the day, he was sure that Harry would have no issues in meeting him right away after receiving the message. All he had to do was wait.
'Shall I start with asking how he got to know the Joukriger so quickly, or maybe ask what studying he has done for the war so far? Or perhaps I could bring up my own dating past during the war and work my way around the subject?' Dumbledore shifted his gaze to Fawkes, who was busy cleaning his feathers, as he contemplated which route to take in his talk with Harry. 'I want him to stay focused on the war with Voldemort, especially since he now knows the prophecy. We need to figure out what this 'power the Dark Lord knows not' is. Hopefully Harry has been putting some thought into this.'
As Dumbledore drank the last of the tea from the cup, the sensor in front of the gargoyle guarding his office went off. Looking over, he noticed Harry standing there, providing the current password. Moments later a knock sounded at his door.
"Come in, my boy!" Dumbledore cheerfully called out. "The House Elves sent up a lovely masala chai today. Would you like a cup?" he asked as Harry entered the room.
"Thank you, sir. I've never had that before but it does sound good. How are you today, Fawkes?" Harry asked reaching out to scratch the top of Fawkes' head. A soft trill was his reply as Harry took his seat in front of Dumbledore's desk.
"Here you go, my boy. Lemon Drop?" Dumbledore pushed the cup of tea across his desk and picked up his tin of lemon drops. At Harry's no, Dumbledore popped one into his mouth.
"You wanted to see me, sir?"
"Yes, Harry, just a chat. I got quite the laugh out of yesterday morning's mail. Do send my regards to Sirius and Remus the next time you write to them. The double prank was very well done."
"Yes, sir. I'll let them know you enjoyed it." Harry sipped at his tea.
"The one who was pranked is name Ryosuke, am I right?"
"Yes, sir."
"I thought so. While the prank was ingenious; you might want to warn Sirius, Remus, and the twins from pranking him or his uncles in the future, Harry."
"Why, sir?"
"I'm not sure if I should mention this, my boy, but those three are in charge of the group that came. If they are angered in any way they could make the decision to leave and no longer offer their protection. We wouldn't want to put the students in any danger from their leaving. I'm sure Voldemort would see it as a chance to attack."
"I don't think you have to worry about them leaving, sir. Or at least, not all of them leaving."
"What makes you say that, Harry? Because you are close to them?" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled at Harry over his tea cup rim, hoping that Harry would confide some secret to him.
"Well, it's just that…" Harry paused as he felt like his voice disappeared. He just couldn't get the information out. He couldn't say that he was Ryosuke's soul mate. Something in his magic was stopping him from saying the words. 'Why can't I say the words? Will I never be able to say the words out loud?'
"What is it, Harry? You know you can tell me anything." Dumbledore leaned forward in his seat.
"They've become very good friends," Harry told him, glad that his magic was at least going to let him say that much. "I know that many now sit at house tables with students, not just Ryosuke." Harry blushed a little at the knowing look in Dumbledore's eyes.
"You seem rather close to this Ryosuke, Harry. I believe I saw you kiss him this morning." Dumbledore paused, as though giving Harry a chance to deny it. Though from Harry's own pause earlier, he knew he wouldn't. "I don't want you to get hurt if they leave, or if Voldemort attacks. Or," Dumbledore paused again, giving a heavy, sad sigh, "if he leaves you for his mate. You've seen in the past that Voldemort likes to target those close to you; and Joukriger will always leave someone the instant they find their mate. Do you think it wise to form such a close relationship with people who are only going to stay neutral in the conflict or will dump you as soon as someone else comes along?"
"Are you saying I should leave them be because they won't help in our fight?" Harry looked at Dumbledore confused. "But, sir, I thought you told me in May to enjoy being a normal young man. Isn't dating someone normal?" Harry asked, not really happy that Dumbledore seemed to want to keep him away from Ryosuke, "can't I just have something normal in my life?"
"Of course you should, Harry!" Dumbledore exclaimed softly, giving Harry a sympathetic smile. "I'm not saying to leave them alone. Show them around the castle, play card games with them, just don't start a relationship with one of them. I just wanted to make sure you understood that if Voldemort attacks outside of the school, like at the Ministry in May, they won't help in the fight. They are neutral and will stay that way. I just don't want to see you hurt by getting too close, my boy. Enjoy your time as a youth, just don't forget the larger picture.
"Let's change topics, hm? More tea?" Dumbledore poured more into both of their cups. "I know you talked to Sirius and Remus during the summer about the prophecy. Have the three of you come up with any ideas regarding it?" Dumbledore changed the subject knowing he would get no more from Harry right now.
"We hadn't during summer and I haven't had much time to think about it this term yet." Harry shrugged looking into his tea, still thinking about the last topic.
"Harry, my boy, you were supposed to think of a few things that could help in the fight. You were the one who insisted on helping the war effort." Dumbledore frowned at Harry.
"I know, sir. I just got caught up in the excitement of the Joukriger showing up."
"I'm a little disappointed, Harry. This is another reason I don't want you to get too close to them. You need to spend time focusing on Voldemort, not people who aren't allies. I know you want to be a part of the war effort, Harry, I'm just not sure you are ready for it if you are getting caught up in other things so easily. I had them come to protect the students so that you could focus on the war effort."
"I'll spend time this weekend thinking of a few things and will send another letter to Sirius and Remus discussing the prophecy. I promise," Harry told him urgently, not wanting Dumbledore to start leaving him out of what was going on. "I want to help out, especially with the prophecy being about Voldemort and me." Dumbledore heaved a great sigh, as if there was a great burden bearing down on him.
"Very well, my boy. I'll let you continue to help out. If it starts affecting your school work though, I will stop involving you. And if you are unable to do anything because of too many distractions, I'll stop then as well. We can't have either happen, Harry," Dumbledore said, fixing him with a very stern gaze. "I just want you to be safe and enjoy your youth."
"Yes, sir. I'll do better, I promise."
"Good," Dumbledore said, smiling once more. "Now finish off your tea and go meet up with your friends. Enjoy the afternoon before dinner tonight." Dumbledore watched as Harry quickly finished and left.
Minato slipped out of the office just behind Harry. He was now very glad that he followed Harry invisibly when he received the summons. It was also good to know that their invisibility could not be detected by wizarding means. Minato knew that it was risky to test their invisibility this way, but he also knew that with how manipulative Dumbledore was at their first meeting, Minato could not allow Harry to be dragged into anything that would hurt the bond forming between him and Ryosuke.
He followed Harry to Gryffindor Tower and watched as Harry entered. Waiting a few minutes Minato sent a memory globe to Koyo. A few moments later Koyo stepped out of the tower.
"What's going on, Minato?" Koyo hurried over to the alcove Minato was waiting in. Minato raised a few quick wards to stop unwanted listeners from overhearing anything.
"I need you to keep an eye on Harry if he leaves the Tower. I need to report information to kouteishi and the generals right away."
"Of course. Junpei should be able to keep an eye on the twins for a few hours. They are currently busy with homework and then plan to work on some prank products. I can keep an eye on your charge until you return." Koyo bowed to Minato before retreating back to into the common rooms. As Koyo left Minato sent three globes out calling for an immediate meeting in the Joukriger rooms. He needed to let them know about the meeting Harry had and the information revealed during the meeting. Ryosuke needed to know that his sukidoushi was caught up in a prophecy and the middle of this war. This latest information, depending on what else was going on and how Harry fully tied into the war, could see the Joukriger losing their neutral status.
(MATURE SLASH SCENE AHEAD. Don't like, don't read. You have been warned)
Two days before Halloween Draco was wandering through the dungeons looking for his best friend. Blaise had been randomly disappearing every day over the last few weeks and Draco wanted to know why. They also needed to discuss their plans for the Hogsmeade trip tomorrow. Theodore thought that Blaise had a new bed partner, which could very well be true, but whenever Blaise had dated and slept with people before Draco at least knew about it; and he did it in their dorm room. Blaise wasn't body shy and often made sure that everyone in Slytherin was aware the nights he was shagging someone. This time Draco had no idea what was going on and it bugged him. He would figure this all out, and make sure Blaise knew he was disappointed in him.
As Draco turned a corner he heard a loud moan come from a partially opened door way in an otherwise completely empty corridor. Wondering if there were non-Slytherin students behind the door that he could dock points from, Draco snuck closer.
"Yes. Ah. Ah. I still can't believe how far down you can go. Ah. Un. Harder! So close."
Smirking with glee at the thought of catching students in the act, which would mean a large amount of points lost, Draco slipped up to the door to peak in. 'Catching them just after or during the act would be the best amount of humiliation for them.' The first thing he noticed was a tan, naked back sitting on a table in what looked to be an unused classroom. The person's head was tilted back, eyes closed, with brown hair in disarray. There wasn't enough light in the room to tell how old the person was. Nor could Draco see school robes nearby that could give away their house. Draco tilted his head trying to find the other person in the room, from the way this one was talking obviously there was someone with them.
"So close. Kami, you are amazing at this." Draco's eyes were caught as the person's arms moved to grip the head in front of them. From Draco's position he was unable to see who was before this naked person, but it was easy to tell that their head was moving back and forth from the hands gripping their black hair. This was perfect for high amounts of humiliation, the only way it would be better was if they were actually shagging.
"Kami!" The figure tensed up for a few minutes before falling back onto the table behind them, breathing quickly, giving Draco a view of the tanned front and most importantly, the face of the person kneeling between their legs in the process of standing up. A face he knew very well.
"Blaise!" Draco threw open the door as he burst into the room red-faced. "I have been looking for you for hours and I find you in an unused classroom blowing another student?"
"Ah, Draco, hours? Really? I saw you less than 2 hours ago. However, since you seem to want to interrupt us, mind shutting the door? It seems we missed that coming in."
"Whatever happened to using our dorms? Why would you risk getting caught by Professor Snape?" Draco waved his arms around in agitation after shutting the door behind him.
"He's not a student Draco." Blaise answered the first question and ignored the others as he stretched out on top of the body on the desk possessively, not caring one bit that they were naked with his best friend in the room. "You also know this isn't my first time using these old rooms."
"That is not the point! If he isn't a student who is he? Are you sneaking in people from Hogsmeade now? Finally finish with your list of bed warmers here?"
"There was no need to sneak him in, he walked in with a group all on his own. And dating and having fun with multiple students last year isn't a crime. I, at least, was willing to experiment." Blaise shifted so that his legs were on either side of the hips below him as the males arms came up around him. Draco was startled to note the person's eyes were looking at him in a mixture of bright green and silver; and getting more and more silver with flashes of red the longer he looked. "Now, if you don't mind, Draco," Blaise's words snapping Draco's head up to look at his friend again, "we'd like to move on to further pleasures. Do see yourself out and be so good as to shut the door behind you."
"That's one of those creatures?!" Draco screeched connecting the changing eye color to the little he knew of them from the Malfoy library.
"Yes, Draco. This is Kazuma, he is a Joukriger. Now go away. You're interrupting our sex time." Blaise rolled his eyes as he waved his hand shooing at Draco like he was an irritating first year. Stunned at those words, the fact that Blaise would lower himself to having sex with a creature, and the curt dismissal from his best friend, Draco made his way out of the room blank-faced.
"I think you broke him aibou." Kazuma said as he started sucking on Blaise's neck, eyes losing the silver and red to turn completely green, working to leave a hickey for all to see.
"He'll get over it in a few minutes, will pout in front of the fire until I return, and then drill me for information. I'll have to inform him that we're bonded at some point." Blaise tilted his head further offering Kazuma more room as he started to grind his hips down. "Now I believe you were going to stick this somewhere for round three?"
"Impatient already? You'll need to wait a bit more for round three. I'm not as young as you, nor as quick to be ready." Kazuma ran a hand down Blaise's back to grab his ass at a particularly strong thrust from Blaise.
"We'll have to work on your stamina then. No one in their 20s should suffer so." Blaise got out before melding their mouths together.

AN: A special surprise for you lovely readers. Promiscuous Blaise + semi-voyeur Draco. The plot bunnies made me do it after receiving some reviews about it. Also, male-Blaise just needs more lovin'. I hope you all enjoyed it. I won't often have the non-main pairings interact in such ways, the plot bunnies just overwhelmed me and continued to attack until I wrote it.
Before anyone asks, the sexy scenes will only be between the slash pairings, it's what I'm more interested in, but the non-slash pairing will have romance – don't despair; just not as much reader fun as the slash (the main focus of the story romance wise). For example, many people are asking for a Luna pairing. If I write this one (very likely) it will be full of super sweet, 'awe' type of moments, not lust/sex moments because Luna doesn't really seem like that kind of character to me. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Reviews are greatly appreciated. So are favs, kudos, follows, pms, and subscribes. Flames or negative reviews are fed to the plot bunnies to keep them multiplying. I am now on both fanfiction and ao3 under the same penname and story title. Both locations will be updated together.
