Chapter Eight:
Harry had gone to bed hours before, as had Bill when the others left. So Charlie sat alone in the living room sipping a glass of fire whiskey, thinking about his husband. The little minx wanted to seduce him. Not that Charlie wasn't amenable to the suggestion, but he hoped that Harry didn't move faster than he felt comfortable with, though Harry wouldn't have a lot of time to get use to the idea of being intimate with husband, at least for that first time. Remus and Severus and Bill had all stayed up with Charlie for a few extra hours to thoroughly re-research the parameters of the Dominance Bond. The only thing that they found that could cause a problem later on (simply because Charlie was unwilling to force his little husband) was that the bond must be consummated within three months. Of course he hadn't shared with the others his little Raven's desire to seduce him.
So long after the others had left and Bill had retired, Charlie sat looking into the fire. He was still sitting there when Harry came stumbling out of the bedroom, hair rumbled and pants riding low on his hips.
"Charlie?"
"I'm right here little Raven."
"Charlie, I can't sleep, would you please come to bed? I sleep better when you're there." Harry mumbled.
Charlie smiled gently at his husband. "Of course Raven, I'll be right there."
Harry muttered something that Charlie guessed was an agreement, and reeled his way back into the dark room. Charlie tossed back the last of his drink and followed, quietly slipping out of his clothes and pulling on a loose pair of sleeping pants. He slipped under the sheets, and Harry's body immediately moved into the curve of his own. Charlie cuddled him close, wrapping him safely in his arms. Harry sighed, unconsciously nuzzling his face into Charlie's chest and drifted further into dreamland.
Harry was fairly certain he was dreaming, after all it couldn't really be this easy to seduce his husband. He didn't actually think that the romantic dinner that Draco had helped him set up would be this effective.
"So my little Raven," dream Charlie said, "what's the occasion?"
"We've been bonded for a month Charlie; I thought we should celebrate before we have to return to Hogwarts."
Charlie smiled sexily at the raven haired teen. "That was very thoughtful of you Raven, however should I thank you?"
'Seriously,' dream Harry thought to himself, 'Charlie could think up something better than this right?' But he didn't have time to contemplate an answer because his Dragon Keeper was walking towards him, a sexy swagger swinging his hips.
"Harry, Harry you've drifted away little Raven," dream Charlie said, "come back."
"I'm here Charlie," Harry whispered.
"Good, I hate for you to be somewhere else when I did this," Charlie leaned forward and brushed his lips lightly against Harry's, "and this," and he leaned down nipping at Harry's collar bone.
"Oh," Harry whispered his eyes fluttering closed. "Charlie?"
"Yes Raven?"
"Take me to bed Charlie, I want to be yours." Again Harry thought that dream Harry could have thought up something better, but hey who was he to protest against progress.
Dream Charlie picked Harry up, wrapping the teen's legs around his waist and crushed his lips to the emerald eyed boys. Harry moaned and thrust wildly against Charlie begging for the friction that would relieve him. The strong Dragon Keeper walked them toward the bedroom room trying to keep a hold of his little husband, when they reached the bedroom, Charlie dumped him on the bed.
"Charlie," dream Harry whined.
Dream Charlie chuckled, "Here Raven," he said before crushing his lips against Harry's. Charlie gently tongued the seam of his husbands mouth, begging for the boy to open, when Harry's lips parted, Charlie thrust is tongue into the moist cavern, moaning from the taste. He gently massaged his husbands tongue with his own asking him to participate. Harry's tongue hesitantly caressed his causing Charlie to groan in appreciation.
Charlie moved his hands over Harry's quidditch toned body. Harry may have been small for his age, but he was lithely muscled. He gently caressed Harry's small nipples through his shirt making him writhe beneath the Dragon Keeper.
"Please Charlie," Harry gasped.
Charlie eagerly complied, waving his wand spelling their clothes away; he smirked at Harry's quickly indrawn breath. Dream Charlie slowly crawled up his little husband's body, making sure to caress the lithe body with his own. Harry groaned in frustration thrusting up searching for more of that delicious friction.
"I got you," Dream Charlie whispered hotly in Harry's ear, making him thrash uncontrollably with want. It was then that Charlie began mapping Harry's body, marking him with tongue and teeth, leaving Harry trembling; needing release.
When Charlie finally reached the center of Harry's desire, he whimpered. Harry's cock was rock hard weeping and throbbing. Charlie looked up the line of Harry's body catching his emerald eyed gaze.
Harry woke up heart beating wildly, his cock straining against his pajama bottoms. He looked behind him making sure his husband was still asleep; it wouldn't do for the man to wake and think his bonded couldn't control himself. Harry wiggled out of the strong mans arms and ran for the bathroom. He didn't hear Charlie chuckling behind him.
The teen gently closed the door behind him locking it for good measure, wouldn't do to have a repeat of yesterday. Right now he wasn't entirely sure he could keep himself from molesting his husband if he walked in. Harry groaned and started the shower; he sure hoped that Draco's plan would work.
OooooO
Charlie woke up slowly, his little husband gently writhing in his arms moaning softly. Harry had had nightmares before, but this didn't sound like one of them. He chuckled when Harry moaned out Charlie's name under his breath. So this was how it was then. The red haired man pulled Harry back against his body cradling the teen as he gently thrust and moaned. He pretended to be asleep when his husband woke suddenly, and chuckled softly when the teen wiggled out of his arms and rushed to the bathroom. Harry had been so intent on getting to bathroom, that he hadn't noticed Charlie's own stiff cock heavy with need. Charlie groaned and rolled onto his back, when he heard the shower turned on, Charlie groaned aloud and palmed his aching hard on. He imagined his little Raven doing the same in the shower, and was soon thrusting into his hand fingering his weeping slit, all too soon his balls tightened and he was groaning his release. Charlie heard the shower cut off and quickly grabbed his wand spelling the sheets and his hand clean.
Charlie looked up when the bathroom door opened and saw Harry standing there, a towel wrapped about his hips. The delicate boy, no man, was shifting from foot to foot, and Charlie watched fascinated as water droplets rolled down the toned chest, gathering at the towel before finally slipping from view. It took a moment for him to realize that Harry had called his name. "I'm sorry Raven, I was drifting. What was it that you said?"
Harry looked in Charlie's eyes a little concerned. The man had indeed been off somewhere else. "Do we have plans today, because Draco and I have some…things to do?"
"Things to do outside of the house?"
"Yes, we want to go to the Bazaar, do a little shopping. Professor Snape brought by my Hogwarts letter so we are going to get our school supplies."
Charlie frowned. "I'm not sure that that is a good idea Raven. Even though Dumbledore knows that you are bonded to me, he still might try something." Not to mention all the other people who might try to take his gorgeous little husband.
"Please Charlie, what if we get Draco's dad to go with us? Will that be ok?" Harry begged.
"I won't stop you Harry," Charlie said noticing the look on his Raven's face. "Remember what you learned yesterday? As your dominant I am to protect, defend, and provide for you. I don't control you, though I would hope that we could come up with a reasonable agreement that would make both you and me happy."
Harry nodded, "I know that you don't have right to control me, or that you even want to, but I want to make sure that you are comfortable and happy as well. I think that what you said, working together to come up with an arrangement that makes us both comfortable is good. I know you entered the bond to help protect me Charlie, and I appreciate it. But I want to make you happy as well. After all, isn't it the King's duty to make sure that his subjects are happy and healthy?" Harry added cheekily grinning.
Charlie stood up from the bed bowing low exposing his back to his Raven. "Whatever my King desires, it would be my honor to provide as your Champion."
Harry giggled happily. "Rise my Champion and be ready for the day."
Charlie rose to his full height crisply saluting his husband. "As my King bids, so shall it be." Then he walked around his giggling bonded and slapped him on the arse before closing himself in the bathroom.
Harry finally got control of himself and sent a note to Draco via the twins nifty little device. Operation 'Seduce the Dragon Keeper' was a go.
OooooO
Draco and his father left the hotel early enough to collect Harry before the heat of the day, after it wouldn't do for the Malfoy's to be found sweating like common plebeians.
"So what is it exactly that we are doing today little Dragon?" Lucius asked his only son.
"Harry needs a new look, we're going clothes shopping." Draco glowed with happiness while his father groaned theatrically.
"Fine little Dragon, but limit the clothing purchases to Potter, I will not allow the house elves to expand your closet again."
Draco smirked at his father. "Seriously Dad, today is very important. Harry wants help in seducing Charlie, and I told him I would help. Then I told Charlie that if he hurt my little brother than I would kill him and let his older brother have a chance."
"Why would Harry think he needs to seduce his husband, or that he needs help to do so?" Lucius asked curiously.
Draco's jaw tightened. "Damn muggles, fucking old coot!" Draco growled.
"Ah," Lucius understood now. "How bad is it?"
"He asked me if he was hideous, implying that that would be worse than merely being ugly. His relatives constantly belittled him calling him a freak, and to top things off, now that he-who-must-not-be-named is gone, Harry is finally letting his emotions out. Unfortunately until they settle into an even keel, he's being… weepy I guess is how I would describe it. Harry doesn't know yet how to control his feelings and they keep overwhelming him. Personally I'm waiting for the day he truly loses his temper; it will be a sight to behold for sure!" Draco was unfocused, thinking about the possibilities almost dreamily.
Lucius stopped to observe his son, he was weird.
"What?" Draco asked defensively.
"Nothing, nothing at all little Dragon; let us go retrieve your little brother." Lucius chuckled; Potter was not going to know what hit him.
OooooO
Charlie opened the door at the sound of a knock and was almost bowled over by a Malfoy. "Good morning Draco," Charlie called out to blond teen. "Good morning Lucius, would you care for a cup of tea while you wait?"
"No thank you Charlie. Draco and I have already eaten." Lucius inclined his head in thanks.
"Lucius," Charlie started making sure to look the man in the eye. "Harry and I had a serious talk this morning. I wanted him to understand that just because he is my submissive bond mate it doesn't mean that I actually have to right to control him, for example by keeping him from leaving this house or dictating who he can associate with." Charlie paused as Lucius nodded for him to continue. "I did request however, that as bond mates we set down parameters for his safety to not only ensure my sanity, but to make sure that we are as equals in this bond."
"And what is it that you have decided together?" Lucius asked curiously.
"That under no circumstances is Harry allowed to wander off on his own, he is to have either you or Draco with him, preferably both at all times. If anyone approaches him inappropriately he is to tell you immediately, and if for some reason he becomes uncomfortable he is to return home as soon as possible."
Lucius nodded, the arrangement was reasonable. "Potter doesn't have any objections to the restrictions?"
"He's not entirely happy about the hovering, but he understands that he needs to be on guard until we can do something about the headmaster."
"Are there plans for the man as of yet, I do have a few suggestions myself." Lucius smirked amusedly.
"First things first, the goblins are taking the old man up on charges for falsely presenting papers that made it possible to enter vaults that he had no business being in. They will take care of retrieving Harry's heirlooms, mostly books and a few relics for some various rituals. They also offered us compensation for allowing this to happen. Bill explained that it is a blow to the entire goblin nation that this had happened, and the only way for them to regain their honor is to offer compensation. My little husband, being the brilliant minx he is, told them that we would sit down for negotiations after they have finished retrieving his property. This gives us time to figure out something that would be acceptable for both Harry and the goblins."
"Potter, I believe, is much smarter than he lets on."
Charlie grinned. "You should have seen the expression on Severus' face when Remus told him that Harry had been brewing the Wolfsbane potion for him since the beginning of his fourth year."
Lucius frowned, "Where did he brew?"
"Moaning Myrtles bathroom," Charlie snorted trying not to laugh.
Lucius smirked again, "That young man has a very Slytherin streak."
"Probably because if I hadn't convinced the sorting hat to put me in Gryffindor I would have been a Slytherin; I've been kicking myself for that ever since second year." Harry was standing in the doorway watching the older men gape at him.
"I knew it." Draco yelled from behind him. "Why did you do it Harry?"
"You were a complete arse Dragon." Harry smirked at his blond brother. "Now, I believe that we have places to go and things to purchase." Harry glided over to his husband and hugged the man goodbye, "I'll be home in a few hours."
Charlie hugged his little Raven close, "Have fun Raven."
OooooO
"Wow," Harry turned round looking everywhere. "This place is brilliant."
Lucius chuckled. Everyone reacted like that the first time the see the Egyptian Bazaar.
"Anyway," Draco drawled, "Next stop clothes!"
Harry groaned dramatically; Draco was not anything, if not the ultimate clothes horse.
Several hours later Harry was loaded down with not only his school supplies for the coming year, but more clothes than he had ever owned in all of his sixteen years. Draco had not only talked him into tight tee shirts that showed off his quidditch muscles, but tight fitting jeans that cupped his arse, and properly fitted trousers and shirts, dress and every day robes, and dragon hide pants. Harry had tried valiantly to get away from Draco when he had come at him with the leather pants, but the bloody blond had bound him and forced him into the pants. Harry had to admit that they were indeed comfortable, but the way the sales person had looked at him made him distinctly uncomfortable. It was when the ever so helpful man had tried to help him out of his pants in the dressing room that he had lost control of his magic.
"Harry, are you ok?" Draco asked panting from his run from the other side of the store.
"I'm fine, but I'm not sure about him." Harry said indicating the passed out male. "Will you please get your father Draco?"
Draco rushed to comply, keeping an eye on the dressing room the whole time. "Dad, there's been a…incident."
"What?" Lucius asked flatly.
"Just come and see please," Draco said pulling at his father's hand.
Lucius followed his son into the dressing room where Harry was standing nervously shifting from foot to foot. "What is that?" Lucius asked indicating the man on the floor.
"That is the sales person who decided that I needed help dressing, or rather undressing." Harry squeaked.
"I see," Lucius drawled, "and where were you little Dragon?"
"I only turned my back for a minute, I hadn't realized the bloody idiot wouldn't notice or care about the cuffs." Draco explained calmly. "I'm really sorry little brother, I should have been watching, he could have hurt you."
Harry nodded, "It was an accident, and so was this," he indicated the unconscious body. "Now how do we fix it?"
"Like this," Lucius said and drew is wand and quickly muttered and enervate, followed by an obliviate. "You tripped over your own feet and accidentally fell through the curtain into this dressing room."
"Oh I'm so sorry," the man jumped up from the floor, "please excuse my clumsiness, I really do apologize," and the sales clerk quickly bowed his way out of the cramped space.
"Thank you Lucius." Harry said sincerely. "I guess we'll still have to tell Charlie about this huh?"
"This could work to your advantage you know," Draco told him seriously.
Harry looked confused while Lucius just rolled his eyes at his son, "How's that," the green eyed teen asked.
"Jealousy."
Harry tilted his head to the side and blinked, "I don't get it."
"You're bloody gorgeous Harry." Draco told the oblivious boy exasperatedly.
Harry just raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "I agree I do look better, not hard to accomplish with these few changes, but don't you think your being overly dramatic?"
"He's not," Lucius stepped in, "you are indeed a ravishing creature."
Harry blushed hard. "Oh, umm… thank you?"
"It just a compliment Harry, turn around and look in the mirror. What do you see?" Draco asked his little brother.
Harry did as he was told and looked in the mirror. He saw a short boy with long hair and green eyes and told the Malfoy's so.
"No Harry, what I see is a quidditch toned body, that being rather on the short side, is perfectly proportioned. Long silky hair, large beautiful emerald eyes, pouty lips and a cute little nose, paired with high cheek bones, and nicely arched eyebrows. You are very handsome Harry, or do you think the sales clerk molests all of his customers?"
Harry chuckled and took a step back looking in the mirror once again. He could see all the things that Draco had pointed out, but still didn't think that they were all that special, on the other hand, he definitely didn't look ugly so there must be some truth to Draco's words. "Ok Dragon, I concede, so now what?"
"Now you change into these jeans and that green tee shirt, the one that matches your eyes, and then we trash these awful clothes you started out with; and then we're going to lunch before Dad and I take you home."
Harry did as he was bid, and got no small amount of satisfaction when he watched Lucius incinerate his old hand me downs. "Well," he said linking arm with Draco, "I'm starving let's go!"
OooooO
"And you're sure that that will work?" Harry asked the blond disbelief lacing his voice.
Draco looked at him, "Of course I am Harry. Just follow my directions and Charlie will be falling all over himself."
"Well, if you're sure. Should I start tonight?"
"Absolutely. By the end of the month, you'll have your sexy husband right where you want him.
"Boys as interesting as this conversation is, perhaps it shouldn't be discussed over lunch." Lucius had been trying so hard not to laugh at the expressions on Harry's face when Draco had told him how to go about seducing his husband.
"Sorry Lucius."
"Sorry Dad."
"Quite alright, though Dragon might I suggest if potions do not work out for you, perhaps a literary career?"
"Draco looked over at his father, "Of course Dad, I might just do that."
Both Malfoy's burst out laughing, leaving one raven haired youth looking bemused between them.
OooooO
After lunch the two platinum blonds dropped Harry off at home.
"Charlie," Harry called, "I'm back."
Charlie walked into the foyer carrying a sandwich that he had been munching on in the kitchen, but stopped dead when he caught sight of his little husband. Harry was wearing a pair of dark fitted muggle jeans that clung to his tight little bum, and a tight emerald green tee shirt that did nothing to hide the quidditch six pack he sported. His hair was loose down his back, shorter tendrils curling near his face framing the beautiful features and the teen's large emerald green eyes.
"Are you ok Charlie?"
"Huh," Charlie answered intelligently.
Harry walked closer placing his little hand against Charlie's forehead checking for a fever. "You're looking at me funny, are you ok?"
"Umm… yes, sorry. I, it just that… well not that you weren't adorable before but, um er…you look really good Raven." Charlie's leather pants were becoming rather uncomfortable, and he hoped that Harry wouldn't notice his problem, or maybe he hoped he would?
Harry arched an eyebrow up, "Right, well Draco also made me get enough clothes for a lifetime."
"Those look really nice my little Raven," Charlie smirked finally regaining his equilibrium.
Harry blushed. "He also made me buy a pair of leather trousers." He said coyly looking up at Charlie though his eyelashes just as Draco said he should, and smiling sweetly.
Charlie gulped; seduction indeed. "Umm, yes, well… I've always found them quite comfortable." He stuttered.
Harry looked down as if just noticing his husband's attire. "I see that." he said indicating the pair that Charlie had on. He walked slowly around his husband touching the material here and there as if to test for softness. "These fit you really well." He told his husband making his tone as innocent as possible.
The Dragon Keeper blushed a deep red, "Th-Thank you Harry." Charlie shook his head to clear his thoughts, "Well, umm, your fathers and Bill and everyone else say they have a surprise for us and to let them know as soon as your home, so… so I'll just go send a note then shall I?" Charlie, strong man, Dragon Keeper, dominant, fled down the hall away from his delectable little husband.
Harry chuckled, perhaps Draco was right.
OooooO
"This, this is, was my parents home?" Harry asked tears in his eyes.
"Yeah Bambi, we rebuilt a couple of rooms, and redecorated, and Bill did the warding. Your Mum and Dad would love that you're living here with your husband." Sirius hugged his son.
"Do you like it cub?"
Harry threw himself into Remus' arms, "I love it!" He shouted. "It's so beautiful. Can we stay here Charlie?"
"Of course little raven. I would love for us to build our lives here."
Harry withdrew from Remus and flung himself into his husband's arms, "Thank you Charlie." He whispered in the man's ear. "This means so much to me."
Charlie hugged his husband tightly. "Anything that makes you happy Harry makes me happy. It will be easy to set up a floo connection to the reserve from here."
Harry hung on tighter, he couldn't believe after everything that happened to him, that he could get so lucky.
"Well," Sirius coughed, "We already moved your things, including all the stuff you got today, into the house and Dobby has already got it all put away. So I think we will take our leave and let you two get settled."
Harry and Charlie hugged all the Weasley siblings and Harry's fathers biding them good bye before turning to their new home.
Charlie swooped down and picked up Harry bridal style, eliciting a surprised a squeak out of him. "It's tradition for the groom to carry the bride over the door step."
Harry smacked his husband in the back of the head. "Just don't forget that I am in so such way or shape a member of the female gender."
Charlie smirked down at his little Raven, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
OooooO
Harry and Charlie had explored the house enthusiastically for a few hours before Dobby had popped up to tell them that dinner was ready. After they had eaten, the two spent a couple of hours curled up on a couch in the library.
"Well," Harry said standing up to stretch making sure his husband was watching as he made his shirt ride up. "I think that I'm going to get ready for bed. It's been a very exciting day."
"Check for over enthusiastic sales clerks before you get undressed." Charlie hadn't been happy when Harry had told him about the dressing room incident.
Harry grinned, "You got it Char," he said before sauntering out making sure to swing his hips just a little. He grinned even broader when he heard a muffled groan behind him. It was officially time to start stage one.
OooooO
Charlie watched his husband swing his way out of the room and let out a low groan. Harry was trying to kill him. That little minx had to know what he was doing to him; otherwise the alternative was just as sexy if not even more tantalizing. He knew that Harry was completely innocent, and just the thought of his little Raven's innocent seduction sent all of his blood rushing to his groin.
Charlie looked up when he heard his name called. "Coming," he yelled. He walked into their bedroom and Harry was standing there in a night robe. "What is it Raven?"
"I have a really bad cramp Char, can you help me please?"
"Of course, get on the bed. Where's your cramp?"
Harry dropped his robe and limped dramatically over to the bed in nothing but his skin tight boxer-briefs. "My thigh Char, please it hurts."
Charlie's mouth went dry as he watched Harry crawl up on the bed. His little husbands lithely toned body was clad in nothing but a small pair of tight black boxer briefs. Dear Merlin, how was he going to do this? Charlie closed his eyes and tried to get his breathing under control, "Ok Harry, I have some lotion here and we'll see if we can't ease that cramp, alright?"
Harry nodded and wiggled his bum innocently. "Ok Char."
The Dragon keeper swallowed convulsively and walked over to the bed, "Which thigh Harry?"
"My right one," Harry whispered.
Charlie knelt on the bed on Harry's right side and squirted the lotion in his hands; he rubbed them together and reached down. His husband's skin was soft and silky and Charlie caressed him delicately sliding the lotion over the quivering muscles. He began to apply pressure and gently kneaded the area. Harry groaned appreciatively, the sound going straight to Charlie's groin. Charlie ghosted his little finger just under the material of Harry's boxers caressing the soft cheek causing Harry to jump a little before trying to stifle his moan.
"Umm, thanks Char that feels so much better. You have really nice hands." Harry said as innocently as possible.
Charlie gritted his teeth. Yup the little minx was going to end up killing him, seduction indeed.
