It was the two year anniversary of the final battle and much had changed in the wizarding world to say the least. The year before the celebrations of it had been over shadowed by the wedding plans for Severus and Remus and the trying to help Jade heal. None of them had any desire to participate in the big celebrations which had in many ways honoured nothing but lies. Harry had once again been paraded as a picture as the martyr who became the rallying point for the war, and monuments had been made in his honour, but those who knew he was alive had known if most of the people who were calling him a hero ad held a memorial in his honour that day, had know he was alive, they would have likely killed him or wished him dead. Albus may have been the only one to act on it but there had been others who would have seen Harry dead before they had allowed him to come back. They had wiped Minerva's memories of his escape not knowing how much she had known and though she had not faced prison, Lucius had seen to it that her retirement was pending after this year and as deputy, Severus was keeping a close eye on her. The holiday created came just before winter holidays so they had started earlier now as most students would have gone home.
The twins, the Lovegoods, the Longbottoms, Moody and Tonks with their newborn son Jayden Alastor Moody and her parents, and Sirius all came as well as Severus and Remus of course. The twins brought word from the Burrow, they all amazed at the shock that Bill and Fleur had actually named their son, married right after the final battle, Harry, in honour of the so called brother of the family. Moody and Tonks had named Jayden for Jade but they were loving members of his family, where Bill and his wife were likely just out for more PR. It would be funny they thought when Jayden and Harry started school together, only a month apart in age. Severus and Remus had their own big news to share on that front that night.
The biggest change had come in Jade himself who had slowly but surely come back to his full maturity though still very shy at times. His wandless magic was incredible and had was excelling in all his studies, going on to NEWT studies like Draco, and doing potions when Uncle Sev was around. He had become more then a silent backer for the twins for they found he had a real knack for creating products for them. They had traveled most of the previous summer so that Jade could get out and like Greece have a normal experience again. But the real change was though not making love yet, the bed still platonic, Jade and Lucius were growing closer.
Jade popped up as the other guests had arrived but his Uncles were not there yet. "They are late. They better get here soon. They said they had news."
Lucius calmed him with a long warm kiss. "They will be here soon. I have not seen you like this since we waited to go see that quidditch game in New York."
Though having matured back to the level of the seventeen year old he turned in July, Jade still could get quite excitable at times and Lucius loved it. Though at a level for his age, Jade still had enough of the innocence left that he could look at the world and not see burdens and war, but look forward to a bright future. Lucius hoped when Draco graduated that he and Jade would perhaps spend more time travelling and Lucius had found muggle plastic surgery had been able to remove the scar for Jade and his need for glasses, and they might not have to move for him to have a normal life, well when he had more confidence that is.
Jade's godfather and Uncle found themselves nearly bulldozed by Jade when they came in though they were not surprised for they knew they had made a mistake telling him they had big news for him, before they had come.
Severus finally gave in and patted his stomach. "Remus and I are pregnant; well I should say I am. The baby may be born just in time to share your birthday Jade."
Jade bounced up and down. "Cool, I get a new cousin. I want you to have a little girl, I already have Jayden. Please make it a little girl."
The men laughed as they were reminded of the innocence of a little kid which still appeared when he was really excited. They reminded Jade they had no power over such things but they were kind of hoping for one as well. Oddly other then Jade it was Sirius who was the most happy for them. He and Remus had spent the past year rebuilding their bond and had become like brothers again and he and Severus had managed to become friends. Remus knew his old friend was genuinely happy.
The celebrations definitely picked up with the news and the party went into the evening. Later that night when they were about to go to bed though Lucius was surprised when Jade lay down naked. It had been too long since they had got past this point.
Jade stopped his protests. "You told me you would make love to me again when I was ready and I am. I want this, this is my choice. I want you."
Lucius lowered his mouth to kiss him. "I know all the weddings and babies have been on your mind."
Jade shook his head. "I have been raped but I have never made love. I want to make love Luc."
Lucius heard the honesty and for the first time made love to Jade who had been raped not only by him but his Uncle and Albus, as well as nearly Rabastan. When Lucius took him the first time he had wished he had one good memory of sex to cling to and now he did. Lucius had always been gentle, but it had always been forced, but this was different. They made love for several rounds that night and later as Jade lay snuggled in his arms Lucius thought of how much he missed this ad could actually see himself one day hopefully married and having kids with Jade. And for the first time really, Jade was thinking the same thing.
