Harry looked at the clock as it struck 1, he got up from his desk and left his office. Harry looked at his assistant and couldn't believe the circumstances on how he and his two best friends ended up in high level positions at the Ministry.

It all started innocently enough. Kingsley Shacklebot paid Harry a visit a Griumund Place a few months ago, just before he moved into Lake Cottage.

'So Harry, what are you plans' asked Shacklebot, who was nursing a cup of tea.

"Well I'm moving in with my boyfriend a week from today. After that, I don't know"

"No plans being an Auror?" asked the Minister

Harry scoffed; "Not for me. I'm in a new relationship, and I don't want to be away from my partner"

Kingsley nodded; "I understand. The reason I came to see you Harry is because you are in a very unique position".

Harry looked at the man with hesitation; "Well, I have in mind to create a new unit to aid and rebuild the damage that the Death Eaters left behind, and well I would like you to run it".

Harry was surprised; and he was very tempted into accepting the offer;

"Do the other members agree with your idea?"

"Of course they do. In fact I have already started. I placed Minerva McGonagall in charge of the orphanage..."

Harry was surprised; "What? Professor McGonagall has resigned from Hogwarts?"

Kingsley nodded; "I'm sure she'll tell you why. Anyhow after Minerva's appointment, I have in mind to extend the idea throughout the Ministry. In fact, I'm also planning a Muggle department, which will involve bridging the gap between our two worlds, and I was hoping to attract Hermione Granger into that post".

Harry laughed; "She'll love it. And before you know it you'll be knees deep in books"

Kingsley also laughed; "So what do you say Harry? You have my word that all resources will be available to you, and you'll have no interference".

Harry nodded; "I'm in".

Harry smiled at the memory, and was thankful for Kingsley opening up this particular department.

"Oi Harry" shouted Ron; Harry turned around and smiled at his best friend; "Canteen?"

"Yep, coming" said Harry. "So how's the Muggle department?"

"Awesome mate. Convinced the board to let me introduce a cinematic department".

"Hermione wasn't pleased?" asked Harry. Both boys laughed; "First time ever you got one up on her".

Ron shrugged; "Didn't like doing it. But it felt brilliant to finally get the edge over her".

"Oh you two are not talking about that still" said Hermione behind them

"Sorry Mione, but it did feel great" said Ron.

Hermione smiled, but both boys could tell she was seething; "Can't really say anything against it. You've made it a success Ron. I'm glad building and regulations have accepted your cinema idea".

"Thanks. Well it helps when you're boyfriend is head of the committee" said Ron.

"It helps when you spread your legs Ron" said Hermione.

"Oh it does, and he was very grateful" said Ron with a blush.

Hermione clicked her tongue; "You just got busted Herms" said Harry.

"Well shacking up with a Slytherin certainly has helped Ron".

All three of them walked into the canteen.

"So the weekend is upon us, what are you guys up to?" asked Hermione

"Bill and I are going to Paris for our unofficial anniversary" said Harry

"What? You mean it has been a year since you and he..." asked Hermione.

"Yes. He wants to take me on a romantic break, but I think he wants to clear the air with Fleur" replied Harry.

"Do you think she'll try to charm him?" asked Hermione.

"Doubt it. The way Bill just looks at Harry should be reassuring" said Ron

Hermione laughed and replied "Have we all been secretly gay since birth?" asked Hermione.

"Probably" said Harry amusingly.

"How about you Ron?" asked Hermione

"Quality time with Blaise, haven't spent time together in weeks. How about you?" asked Ron.

"Going to introduce your mother to my parents" said Hermione with trepidation.

"Do they know?" asked Ron with sympathy.

"Yes, they know I'm gay and they're happy for me. However I don't know how they'll react when they see your mother. I mean she's known me since I was twelve".

Both Harry and Ron looked at their best friend with sympathy;

"Hermione, are you happy with my mother?" asked Ron.

Hermione was shocked; "Of course Ron, I love her to bits"

"Then no matter what your parents tell you, you'll still have my mum, and us"

Hermione smiled and held Ron and Harry's hands in gratitude. Grateful to have these two men in her life.

"Thanks Ron, I really appreciate it" replied Hermione. She loved these two boys, but Ron was her favorite, and she loved how much he has grown up since he and Blaise became a couple.

"So, when are we hearing wedding bells for you guys?" asked Hermione.

Ron shrugged; "Don't know I think it's a while for me, Blaise and I are just getting used to living together".

"Same with me Hermione. I don't think Bill is going to rush out and propose. How about you? You and Molly are clearly smitten"

Hermione blushed; "Well, I don't think she's ready yet. Although I'd like to settle down with Molly and have a family".

"Well, if you ever need help with... you know" said Ron.

"Thank you Ronald, but I'm sure Molly can find an alternative way. Not that I'm thankful, but..." said Hermione.

Harry and Bill landed in the Parisian apparition points; "Let's go and check in"

"Harry are you sure about this?" asked Bill

"Beautiful, I have enough for our great grandchildren to live comfortably, believe me. Besides I want to spoil you rotten".

Bill grinned and walked with Harry to the hotel.

After they reached their room; Harry was unpacking whilst Bill was showering.

"So babe, ready for the sights?" asked Bill.

"No, that's for tonight. Today is about something else" said Harry.

"What do you mean?" asked Bill.

"Fleur, you want to see her?" asked Harry.

Bill had already lied to Fleur, and he didn't want to with Harry so he simply nodded.

"Harry I'm not..."

"I know" said Harry as he kissed him; "This is about making peace with her, and I for one think it's a good idea".

"I'm glad you understand. I just want to get it off my chest" said Bill

"Totally agree. Call her and ask her to meet you"

"Anything for you beautiful" Bill whispered back to his boyfriend.

Molly and Hermione apparated outside the Granger household. Hermione grew up in this house, in these gardens, and now she couldn't help but feel as if she was a stranger.

"Are you okay dear?" asked Molly taking hold of her hand and interlacing her fingers with that of her lover.

"Yes, I just feel sad" said Hermione.

"Why?" asked Molly

Hermione paused and looked around the grounds; "I spent the first eleven years of my life living here, and now I feel I don't belong here anymore"

Molly hugged her girlfriend and kissed her forehead;

"Please don't cry" said Molly.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, its just that I feel..." Hermione didn't answer, but Molly knew what she meant.

"Anyhow here goes nothing" said Hermione as she wiped her tears and walked hand in hand to the house.

Hermione rang the doorbell, the door opened and she saw her father, with anger in his eyes.

Hermione was frantic, whilst Molly tried to reach for her wand.

"Is that them?" said a female voice from inside the house. "I'm going to give this bitch a piece of my mind!"

"Jean, please you promised" shouted Jon.

"What's going on?" asked Hermione.

"Come on in, I hope you two give her some sense" said Jon inviting the pair.

Molly and Hermione went in and were greeted by a furious Jean Granger.

"YOU! HOW DARE YOU ABUSE MY CHILD!" shouted the woman.

"Mrs. Granger I did no such thing" said a concerned Molly.

"How long have you been abusing her?"

"MUM! Molly has never done anything wrong to me. Never!"

"But you are seeing her?" asked Jean.

"Yes mum I am. And if you don't like it, then there isn't much more to say" said Hermione.

"Oh just because you're a dyke now, you defend..." Jonathan slapped his wife across the cheek.

"Don't you dare say that to Hermione. For God's sakes she's our daughter!"

"You're daughter Jon, I won't have anything more to do with her" said Jean.

"Then quite frankly, you're no longer my wife" said Jon with calmness.

Everyone was shocked; "You choose some witch... a bastard child"

At that moment Hermione's world crashed.

"She's my daughter, and I love her regardless whom she is. All I know is that she is happy" replied Jon.

"THEN GET OUT! ALL OF YOU!" shouted Jean at the three.

All three walked out onto the road and walked a short distance.

"What's this all about?" asked Hermione.

Jon shot daggers at his soon to be ex wife and she left the hallway quietly.

"Hermione you're my daughter. But not you mother's" said Jon.

"What?" said Hermione.

"Can we please leave?" asked Jon with desperation.

"She's not my mother. Please dad tell me?" said Hermione in desperation.

"Before you go on, I think it's best we all went home, that way we can speak in private" said Molly.

"You're right, come on dad" replied Hermione as she took her father's hand.

Hermione and Molly landed safely outside the Burrow, whilst Jon fell flat on his face.

Jon got up and followed the girls to the house.

Once they got in. Hermione and Jon sat at the kitchen table, whilst Molly began brewing a pot of tea.

"Hermione, you're not your mother's child"

"What do you mean dad?" asked Hermione

"You mother didn't give birth to you. In fact she didn't meet you until you were eighteen months old

Jon looked down in shame; "I'm sorry you had to find out"

"Find out what? That woman back in Surrey is just a stranger, a stranger who for last few years has treated me with disdain!"

Jon didn't answer, he knew Hermione was right.

"Hermione, please. Don't let me lose you"

"You never will dad, just tell me, who was my mother"

Jon inhaled and exhaled, he was about to open his mouth and speak before he decided to simply show the evidence. Jon pulled out his wallet, opened it and ripped a piece of knitting over the front of the leather. He took out an old blurred photo and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione looked at it and saw a handsome man, and her father who looked so young and handsome, and strangely portlier.

"Why are you so fat?" asked Hermione.

Jon looked at Hermione, and then it finally dawned on her. "Dad, you're...

"Hermione, I'm thirty six years old. And for the last twenty one years I've been living a lie. That man you see there is your true father, his name was Paulo Gattis and he was your father, and the love of my life."

Hermione was shocked and pale; "Your my mother?"

Jon nodded; "I'm so sorry Hermione, I..."

Hermione held her father's hand; "Don't be sorry. Tell me what happened to my dad?"

"Paulo was an American wizard who worked for the Ministry here in the UK. I first met him when I went out to an all night party... out in Cornwall."

Hermione understood what kind of party her father was referring too.

"I met Paulo and it was... it was love. He told me he was a wizard and he showed me your world, and I fell in love with it, and him. Even though I was Muggle born, I finally found a world where I could be myself. Paulo asked me to move in with him and I agreed. He had no family and we were happy that we can finally raise a family and be happy forever. To cut a long story short, I got pregnant. I went to a mediwitch and she said it was perfectly normal for men to get pregnant when in a gay relationship, my body accepted Paulo and it was because of this I started to well... be able to conceive."

Hermione grinned at her father's words;

"Oh go on laugh it up. Anyway when you were born, Paulo and I couldn't have been more happier. But then it all ended when your father was killed by Death Eaters. Paulo's family wanted to take you away, but I couldn't bear to part with you. So I took you in. After Paulo's death, his family were very supportive and they helped me get back onto my feet.

"What happened to them?" asked Hermione.

"Nothing, they're at this moment in Buenos Aires on holiday"

Hermione was shocked; "You mean, your parents are.."

"They never lost touched with you, and you can tell that they loved you dearly. When you got your letter to Hogwarts, I was the happiest man in the world. You were just like your father and I know he's very proud of you".

Hermione cried and she didn't dare wipe her tears.

Molly hugged her and tried to comfort her.

"Jon. Do you have a place to stay?" asked Molly.

"Yes I do. I have a place..."

Molly put her hand up to silence him; "None of that, you are staying here. We have more than enough room".

"Please dad, say yes" said Hermione.

Jon looked embarrassed; "No I couldn't..."

"Then its settled. I'll get Ginny's room ready. I hope you don't mind waking up to pink wallpaper?" asked Molly.

Jon couldn't help but chuckle. "Mrs. Weasley"

"Molly, please" replied

"Molly, I'll be happy to wake up anywhere as long as my daughter still loves me. And besides, I love pink"

"Daddy, I love you so much" said Hermione as she hugged and kissed her father's cheek.

Bill waited anxiously, both fear and excitement raced through him, he was going to meet his ex-wife, and he was going to show just how happy he truly is with Harry.

Bill sat at his table sipping his coffee, when he inhaled the scent, a scent he used to love, a scent that he tried to kill when Harry moved into his matrimonial bedroom.

"Please Bill, cut on the sugar" said Fleur. Bill turned around and saw her smiling face.

"Fleur" he said as he stood up, Fleur however hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Please, can I get you anything?" asked Bill

"No thank you, I am meeting a friend for lunch"

"Oh, sorry to disrupt your plans" replied Bill

"No Bill, I am glad you called. You look fantastic" said Fleur

"Well, you look better" said Bill wholeheartedly.

"Finding a partner is tough, but I'm glad Harry takes care of you" said Fleur, without malice.

"Fleur, the reason I asked to see you is to tell you how sorry I am. I was horrible, and if I could take back what I did..."

"Bill please. You did hurt me, a lot. But I'm glad that it happened now, and not later when we had children" replied Fleur.

"But Fleur, I really am sorry. And I need you to understand that I am the guilty party here. I don't have many regrets, but this is one that will never leave me and..."

Fleur took her ex husband's hand in her own "Mon cherie. Bill, what you did was cruel. I hated you with passion, and I still do. But that's because I love you, I will move on, and I will settle down. You have Harry now, he needs you, and you need him"

Bill looked down in shame; "Bill, it's all good. The way you met me here today is more than enough. You are a good man Bill, but you were confused. Like I was"

Bill looked up; "What do you mean?"

"I like both witch and wizard. And now I can have both, we are both free now"

Bill smiled; "Well whoever you do decide to settle down with will be lucky."

Fleur kissed Bill's knuckles; "Just promise me Bill"

"What anything"

"Invite me to the wedding, I want to see you and Harry exchange vows"

Bill laughed; "You will in fact be my maid of honor"

"It will be an honor" she replied.

"I love you Fleur"

"I love you too Bill. You are the greatest" replied Fleur.

Bill came back to find his suite empty.

"Harry?" he asked. He went round the corner and he finally saw his beloved, sitting on a chair naked playing with himself,

"Do I need to work my charm William?" asked Harry

Bill was speechless, his crotch tightened and he licked his lips in appreciation.

"Potter!" he said as he took his love in his arms and took him to the bedroom.

Once there, Bill gently put Harry down on the bed. Harry looked to his side and saw his wand and took it, muttering a silencing and locking spell as Bill literally ripped off his clothes.

Finally naked the red head got on top of Harry and snogged him as his life depended on it, whilst also rubbing his cock on Harry's.

"Fuck me Bill" said Harry

Bill let go of Harry and went down to finger Harry's already lubricated arse. First he used two fingers, since Harry had already long ago got used to having only one finger up his cunt.

He then inserted a third

"Fuck me Bill!" pleaded Harry, whilst Bill grinned and inserted a forth finger.

"God sake. You're not that thick! Just fuck me already!" screamed Harry

Bill grinned and let his finger leave the warmth of Harry, before he lined his cock and shoved it inside Harry's hole.

Harry screamed in pleasure, he licked his lips and he tried to get hold of Bill's muscular body, but due to the sweat that both boys were making, it was difficult.

Bill began to assualt Harry's arse, just the sight of his cock going inside Harry could bring Bill over the edge. Thankfully in the last few months Bill had learnt how to control his orgasms and could last for a long time.

Harry screamed in ecstasy and not before long he came all over himself. With the tightness of Harry's hole reaching his peak, Bill's cock felt the familiar tightness that never ceased to amaze the organ. Bill came in long spurts that shot far up Harry's pussy that he wondered how long will it take for it to flow away.

Harry smiled at the man he loved and he brought his face down.

"I thought you were going to leave me" said Harry

"Why would you think that?" asked Bill

"Well Fleur is a Veela after all" replied Harry

"And you're a fit bloke. Believe me Fleur could turn on her charms, and I will never be tempted by her, nor another woman ever again"

Satisfied with his answer, Harry smiled and kissed his beloved.

It was a nice crisp October night in Muggle London. The doors of the Odeon in Leicester Square opened and out came an audience that was split right in the middle, those who were wowed and those who were sneering at the film that was known as Eyes Wide Shut.

"Thinking of including it in the programme?" asked Blaise as he whispered to his boyfriend.

"Definitely. It'll be great if I could have two showing, one at the beginning of the season, and one at the end. Kubrick deserves the best" said Ron.

"Yeah" Blaise said in agreement.

"Tell me, now that we are through talking shop, would you ever go to an orgy like that?" asked Ron.

Blaise eyed his boyfriend, and chose his words carefully. "Before I met you, I would have liked nothing more. Although it would have to exclusively for guys."

"How about you?" asked Blaise.

"Same here, although I would have preferred it if it was filled with women".

"And now?" asked Blaise

"No way" said Ron as he dragged Blaise to a small alleyway that acted as an apparition point.

"Besides, I have everything I want" said Ron as he cupped Blaise's package through his trousers.

"Right here" said Ron.

Blaise got hard and he and Ron apparated back to the Manor.
