Chapter 25: Boy Problems

That night, Mat, Dragon, and the rest of the group started to make their way towards the beach. "Hey Dragon, glad you could make it." Demetrius said, coming up to him and handing both Mat and him a bottle of beer.

"Yeah, I told you I would. This is Mat by the way, Mat this is Demetrius, he's the friend from the beach I was talking about."

"It's nice to meet you, and thanks for letting Tig play on your surfboard. He coulnd't stop going on about how fun it was."

"No problem, your son's one cool little dude. So, how are you enjoying it in America?"

"It's definitely different that's for sure." Daniel said, coming up behind him.

"It can't be that different." Jordan jumped in. "Hey you must be Mat." He said waving. Mat waved back before looking at Daniel.

"It's more different then you'd think." Daniel supplied.

"Well then, we'll just have to get you accustomed to it. Tomorrow we'll hang , go to some shops, pick a few things up, and you'll blend in in no time."

"Really?" Thomas asked, being followed by a group of girls.

"Already got a fan base 'ey?" Dragon asked, eyeing the girls behind Thomas.

"Come on girls, he's not like that." Demetrius said, shooing the girls away. "Sorry about them, sometimes they're just too much."

"It's okay, he's not like what though?" Mat asked, watching the girls walk away pouting.

"There are some guys where who will get drunk and drugged up and sleep with whomever they feel like. I use to be like that, but you know stuff happened."

"Trust us we know." Thomas said, glaring at Dragon.

"Ah, you too huh?"

"Well...I had problems but when you're like us who hasn't right?" Dragon asked, looking at Dem.

"Yeah. I understand completely, but I'm sure one of you can also understand, you're his best friends right?" Dem asked, looking between Thomas and Daniel.

"Hey, what about him he's the boyfriend?" Daniel asked, pointing towards Mat.

"He doesn't fit, looking at him you can tell he's the one that supported Dragon, or Dragon would have gotten rid of him after rehab. Plus, look at his face, he looks upset that Dragon ever had a drug problem. He's not the other druggie. Like Jordan and I were the druggies, we went through rehab together. So, that leaves one of you."

"Oh, he's good." Dragon said, smiling. "Let's see if you can guess."

"Let's see, this one's been defensive and the other one is silently guilty. So I'd say that Thomas was the friend with the drug problem, and that Daniel being the good friend he is, doesn't want to be associated with that part of his friend's life, just in case he looks back and regrets that part of his life, he won't regret Daniel's involvement in it."

"Damn he's good." Dragon said, downing his drink.

"Jers, I need help." Chastity said, in the bathroom of her study. Jersey walked into the bathroom and started laughing.

"What's wrong Chast?"

"I think I cut it, I really do, I zipped the zipper and it caught."

"How long ago, I mean usually guys are in pain for quite some time."

"Oh about two hours, will you just check it over?"

"Alright alright." Jersey quickly checked, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "It looks alright to me, nothing damaged. Why didn't you just ask Severus to help?"

"Because he'd laugh at me, are you kidding? As many times as I've made fun of him for his problems."

"Ah, I get it now. Well zip it back in." Chastity tucked everything back in, before turning towards Jersey. "Thanks."

"What are best friend's for huh?"

"So, when are you and James going to get married?"

"I don't know, I mean I'm sort of enjoying being engaged right now. Any suggestions?"

"Well I've known you both, but this is a conversation both you and James should be having. I seriously don't know, and aren't you suppose to be chaperoning?"

"Well, I was, until you Floo'd me saying you had a dire emergency. I'll be returning to my students now." With that Jersey Floo'd back.

That night, the groups stumbled back into the house, the ones who couldn't make it to their beds passing out on the couches and chairs. Dragon carried Mat to their bedroom, placing him on the bed and striping him down to his boxers, before climbing into bed next to him. Around four in the morning however, two hours after they had gotten home, Tiger ended up crying.

"Drag, you go. Too tired, make up to you later." Mat said, rubbing his hand in circles on Dragon's stomach. Dragon got up wearily, dragging his tired body over to Tiger and picking him up.

"What's wrong Tig hmm? We fed you before we went to bed, we changed your diaper a bit later. Are you not feeling well is that it hmm?" Dragon asked, picking Tiger up. Tiger clung to Dragon's neck, looking in the direction of the closet. Dragon started walking towards the closet, the closer he got the louder Tiger would cry and yell. "Alright, I'll put you with your daddy and find out what's wrong." Dragon placed Tiger down besides Mat, before walking over to the closet and opening it up. Instantly, he saw Mat and Tiger on the bed dead, Death Eaters flooding the room none stop.

"N-no...oh Merlin no!" Dragon broke down in tears, falling to a heap on the floor. "Please why didn't you just take me instead, please. TELL ME." Dragon yelled. The yelling woke Mat up, he jumped up in bed watching a scared Dragon huddled in the corner.

"Dragon, what's wrong? What's going on?" Mat asked, getting up and walking to the other side of the big room.

"No, your dead, look." Dragon said, pointing towards the bed where a dead Mat was laying. When Mat turned his head and looked, the scene changed and Dragon took the place of Mat. "Baby, it's just a boggart. Remember what Remus told us about boggarts?"

Dragon tried to think of something to make the scene look ridiculus but he couldn't. That was until he remembered the story of Snape in Neville's grandmother's clothes. He quickly thought of Mat becoming a zombie wearing a frilly pink prom dress with lime green heels, and curlers. Looking at the image Dragon could do nothing but laugh.

"Yeah thanks, make me a girl." Mat wrapped his arms around Dragon, Dragon broke down in tears holding tightly onto Mat.

"I-I don't want to lose you, please I don't want to lose you." Dragon repeated over and over again.

"You aren't going to lose me baby, you're far from losing me. I'm right here, I fine and right here. Baby, you're holding onto me, I'm here I'm alive, I'm not dead." Mat reassured, kissing Dragon over and over again.

"Still, TIGER! I've, we've, TIGER!" Dragon stood up and ran off towards their room, walking inside he saw that Tiger had curled himself around Dragon's pillow, his face moving side to side trying to find a comfortable place that probably had the comforting smell of his dad.

"See, he's fine. " Mat reassured.

"No he's not, he wants his daddies, he's worried look at him." Dragon whispered, slipping into bed and holding Tiger close to his side. Mat just slipped into bed wrapping his arms around both Tiger and Dragon.

"WHEN IS THIS FUCKING THING GOING TO WEAR OFF?" Chastity yelled, holding her notebook of papers that needed to be graded infront of her lap.

"What's wrong?" Severus' silk smooth voice asked from behind her, which didn't help Chastity's problem.

"Oh, um nothing I was just about to go grade papers."

"Oh? Did you get my letter?"

"Yes I did, I just haven't had a chance to read it yet."

"Right, maybe you should before you grade those papers. It is quite important." Severus wrapped his arms around Chastity's waist, smirking when she jumped a bit. "I mean, you're only a guy for probably an hour more, and then we can do everything the letter says, promise." Severus said, snaking his hands down Chastity's front. "Oh, so it seems like you did read my letter."

"I-erm-well-I...I NEED TO GRADE THESE PAPERS!" Chastity yelled running for her study and locking the doors. Severus walked over towards the door knocking.

"Come on Chast, let me in."

"NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! NOT UNTIL I'M A GIRL AGAIN!"

"She means it too," Jersey said, walking into the room.

"What are you doing here?"

"She paged me, I'm just going to go in, help her through whatever problem she's having now, and then going back to my group."

"What?"

"She. Paged. Me. Now move."

"No, if I can't go in there you can't."

"Right, and how old are you again? Four. Look, she's not going to let you in because she's afraid you'll laugh or make fun of her. She thinks this because she constantly makes fun of you when you have a problem."

"I'm not going to make fun of her."

"Oh really?" Looks down at cellphone. "Because according to her, she claims that you wrote her a note that created a 'problem' and then 'teased' her."

"She couldn't have possibly wrote you that already." Jersey showed Severus the text message, before trying to get into the room.

"They don't work in Hogwarts."

"They do if a Marauder gets to it first."

"Fuck the Marauders! What are you doing?" Severus asked, noticing Jersey typing on her phone.

"Nothing.." Jersey said, rolling her eyes and putting her phoen back.

"SEVERUS SNAPE YOU LET HER INTO THIS ROOM THIS INSTANT OR I SWEAR TO MERLIN YOU'LL BE EXTREMELY SORRY!" Chastity yelled.

"You did that message thingy." Severus said, sounding scandalized.

"Of course, now let me go in."

"Fine." Severus said, moving aside from the door. Jersey went inside and didn't come out for the next three hours, when she did emerge from the room, Chastity had followed all girl once more. Jersey quickly Floo'd back to the children she was suppose to be watching.

"Now Mr. Snape, I believe there's a letter that we must discuss in private." Chastity squeeled as Severus picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, before walking off towards the bedroom.

"How do they do this day in and out their WHOLE lives?" Kaley, one of the girls asked, flopping down on the couch. It was the last day of their stay, and the students had to clean the whole house from top to bottom, so that it was like they never stayed there, before they were allowed to return to Hogwarts.

"They're use to it, but it is time consuming!" Thomas said, flopping down next to her.

"Come on guys, we're not even half way done!"

"We've been at it for 9 hours and we're STILL not done!" Jessica said, panicking a bit. "Well be here forever!"

"Come on, we already finished the bottom floor, now all we have to do is the top and that's a lot smaller." Dragon said, trying to keep morale up. "Fine, fine, a ten minute break and then we'll continue." Dragon caved, after watching the glares.

"Five minute break, as I have been working upstairs by myself for nine hours and have most of it finished." Derek said, walking down the stairs.

"What? Seriously! HOW!" Thomas asked shocked.

"Well, let's see could it be because I'm a muggle? Hmm...nope, that's not it at all." Derek said sarcastically.

"What's there left to do?"

"Make your own beds, finish packing your own things, make sure the rooms you stayed in are clean, vaccumed, and the windows and mirrors windexed. Other then that, the three bathrooms need to be cleaned also, and everything restocked. There are pictures of what the bathroom looked like before you came, and I expect it to look that way when I check them before we leave."

"Why do we have to do all this when it's your house? It's not like we're giving it back to it's owner, it's going back to someone who helped make the mess." Daniel said, coming out of the kitchen that he just cleaned.

"Let's see, because it belongs to my parents who are having guests over tomorrow.I figured, what the heck, let's be nice and clean it for them since they did let us stay in it for a while."

"Alright, alright we get it...What that means in Derek talk is get off your lazy arse, finish packing, finish cleaning and get out of his bloody house." Dragon cleared up, getting up and trudging up the stairs.

"Exactly, thank you Dragon."

"I have an idea!" Mat said, falling ontop of Daniel. "I vote that my baby uses his wandless magic to finish everything so that he doesn't kill his fiance."

"Funny, I vote that my fiance get off his lazy arse and help, or he'll abstain from any form of sex for quite some time."

"Ok everyone, you've rested enough you heard the man let's help!" Mat said, jumping off of Daniel and running up the stairs. Within another two hours, they had the whole house spotless, passed Derek's inspection, and were on their way back to Hogwarts, waiting in line to get their wands back.

"Welcome back." Harry said, hugging Dragon. "I've missed seeing you..you too Mat." Harry said, hugging Mat also. "Now, where's my grandson?" Harry held out his hands for the baby. "Oh wow Tig, you're getting so big!"

"Why don't you tell grandpa your new word hmm?" Mat asked, playing with Tiger's hand.

"Ga-pa!" Tiger said, clapping his hands before poking Harry in the nose. "Ga-pa!"

"He can't really say grandpa, but it's a start." Dragon said smiling.

"Are you kidding? He knows who I am! He can say my name!" Harry said, a huge smile beaming across his face.

"How's dad, he have the baby yet?"

"No, he's suppose to have the baby any day now though. He's past his due date by three days, if he goes four more, then he has to have a c-section. We're hoping we don't have go down that route though."

"I'm sure you won't, there are many ways to avoid a c-section, though none of them that I'm willing to discuss with my parents. Now, Mat and I must go unpack our things, get ready to write our reports, and finish planing for the wedding we are going to have in a month."

"Alrgiht, I better return to your dad. Love you three." Harry said, before walking out of Hogwarts to the apparation point, and apparating back to the manor.

A/N: Don't shoot! Don't Shoot! I know has a few misspellings and such, but after waiting for so long, I figured you'd be like whatever as long as it's up! lol.
