A/N: I am sorry for the late update. I am having more problems with university and so I am struggling to keep my head above water in the pantomime that is my life.


Granger's Café

Pairing: Draco/Harry.

Disclaimer: Hermione decides that the drama in the wizarding world is growing too much. She decides to open up a café in the muggle world, so as to enjoy simplicity during the day. Little does she know that one of the applicants for a job there, will cause a whole new circle of drama for her. And how exactly will her little café benefit Harry and Draco's lives, and how will it banish the drama from both worlds they live in? You know what they say, about Granger's café; her food is like magic, that's what they say, because it keeps all your problems and troubles at bay.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mistletoe

Albus rung his hands, his eyes flickering from side-to-side as he scanned the list in front of him. He was in such a dilemma and could not find a reasonable solution. The tip of his quill was battered and horrid as he scribbled a line across another idea. He huffed and screwed the parchment up into a ball. He really wanted to make this Christmas for Scorpius special seeing as they had both opted to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas. He wanted it to be amazing but no idea seemed amazing enough! He was angry with himself.

"Hi Albus"

Albus looked up to see Rose Weasley looking down at him. He scowled. He wanted to think not to talk to Rose. "Hi Rose, what are you doing here?"

Rose shrugged, her curled brown hair swaying as she sat down, "just came here to study a little. What are you scribbling down?" Albus screwed all the papers up, away from Roses prying eyes and narrowed his eyes at her. Her brown eyes twinkled, "Ah, girl trouble?"

Albus shrugged, "something like that" he did not know why he had admitted it, but he held a slight hope that maybe his brainiac cousin could give him some advice. "I wanted to give hi-her, a great Christmas, since she's staying here too but -I don't know what to do"

Rose cast him a sympathetic look before drawing out a sheet of parchment and a quill. "Alright well -you could take her to Hogsmeade"

Albus snorted, "everybody does that, it's not exactly special now is it?"

Rose nodded, "I suppose that's true -but first years are not allowed in Hogsmeade so it would be quite a treat for him"

Albus frowned, "I guess -but how would I get there without anyone getting worried?"

Rose frowned, "Well why not go and ask your bother, James, he always has his ways of sneaking out and avoiding the rules. He seems like the person to ask about it"

Albus pursed his lips in thought. He glanced up at Rose and smiled, "thank you, Rosie, you're so bloody smart I feel like a knob"

Rose rolled her eyes and swatted his shoulder, "yeah, yeah, heard it all before" Albus stuck his tongue out as he gathered his things together. He knew what to do. But before he started any elaborate planning, he would need to find James.

Teddy grunted as James clenched around him yet again. He was close to cumming heavily within his boyfriend and he desperately wanted to last longer. James' nails were digging into the kitchen table, his back arching to its full extent, allowing Teddy to bury himself deeper within his tight, hot body. Teddy was so close -they could both feel it. "J-Jamie -I'm g-gonna-"

"Come in me Teddy-y-y ple-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ase!"

Teddy grabbed a fistful of James' dark hair and tugged his head upwards. He lent forward and pressed passionate marking kisses along James' throat as he drove into him, climbing ever closer to his climax. James' heavy panting and the tightness of his body was driving -Teddy -Crazy.

"FUCK JAMIE!"

James arched into Teddy's deep thrusts as they both reached their climax. James shuddered, his breathing heavy, as he felt Teddy's weight collapse on top of him. "G-God Teddy t-that was-"

"I know" Teddy gushed as he reluctantly slid out of the moist warmth of his lover. He inwardly groaned as James unclenched his tight muscles and white cum began running down the younger boys' thighs.

"Oh shit" James groaned, thumping his head on the tabletop, "I hate it when that happens"

Teddy could only grin weakly as he grabbed a discarded dish-towel from the other end of the table and bent down on his knees behind James. He gently spread his lover's butt cheeks apart and winced at how red his entrance had become. James hissed at the subtle sting in his arse as the acidic cum dribbled down between his buttocks. Teddy gently wiped the cum away, using tender movements, making sure not to brush too harshly on the red areas. "It'll be alright, love" Teddy soothed, pressing a kiss to James' buttocks, "would you like a bath to clean yourself, baby?"

James shuddered as the cold wind drifted in and irritated his buttocks. "I er ... No, I have Quidditch practice later on I can shower in the changing rooms" Teddy nodded and went to put a fresh pot of tea on, having cleaned himself and pulled his pyjama bottoms back on. James frowned at his lover's sudden silence and straightened up from his position bent over the table. He tugged his thin T-Shirt on over his head and dragged his own pyjama bottoms up his thighs, from its previous pool around his ankles. "Ted?" The usually blue-haired teenager was sporting a hair style James' had only seen on one occasion, when his father had shouted at Teddy for having a boy in his room on a school night without permission. His hair had grown shoulder-length and was spiked and jet-black with blood-red highlights. "Ted, why are you angry with me?"

Teddy exhaled deeply, his shoulders slumping as he lent over the kitchen sink. His hair flashed from strawberry blonde to his preferred pure cyan blue color. He swallowed, not willing himself to look around into James' warm eyes. "I'm not angry love I just feel a little -restricted. I want to be there at your practise and watch you but -people would find that weird"

James felt the bubble of anger deflate in his chest. He crossed the distance between himself and his lover, ignoring the twinge in his arse, and encircled his arms around Teddy's tall body. He was only tall enough to rest his head neatly in between Teddy's shoulder blades. Teddy inhaled serenely, placing his own arms over the top of James' own. "It wouldn't be too weird, Teddy, but -I wish I could take you flying"

"And I wish I could spend the night in your own bed for once, but that isn't going to happen, now is it?" Teddy smirked before turning around and pressing a kiss to James' forehead. "You should run along. If you're not there for lunch people will get suspicious. My disillusion charms can only last for so long"

James' pouted. "Do I have to go?"

Teddy pressed a warm kiss on James' mouth, "not just yet. We still have to finish breakfast here and then you will shower and after you rest a little, you can leave"

James cocked an eyebrow, "are you keeping me as your prisoner, Mr. Lupin?"

Teddy smirked, bending down to whisper in his lovers ear, "I like that idea -tying you up -having you beg me -begging me to free you"

James shivered and then pouted as Teddy grinned from ear to ear and went to sit down at the table. James followed suit and nudged Teddy's foot with his own, feeling bashful all of a sudden. Teddy smiled too. He loved it when James blushed. "Hey Jamie"

"Yeah?" James looked up. Teddy grinned at the small piece of scrambled egg that had decided to reside on the corner of his mouth. Teddy smiled sweetly and raised a thumb to smooth the egg away.

"I love you" he breathed before leaning down to kiss his boyfriend.

Scorpius had his head bent down over his multiple books that were spread out over the desk. He had plenty of scrap pieces of parchment with scrawled out notes on them, spread all over his other books. He had not stopped writing. His quill was almost smoking at the pace he was scribbling. The frown he wore on his features were fit to split his face in half.

"Hey"

"GAH!" Scorpius yelped, his quill flying from his grip as he was jolted out of his concentration. A hiss from the librarian slithered through the air and rattled in his ears. He whipped around in his seat to glare at whoever it was who had disturbed him. His anger melted away when he saw who it was. "Hi Al, what the bloody hell do you think you're doing, sneaking up on me like that?"

Albus grinned as he sat down next to his blond friend, placing his hands on the tabletop. "I missed you today" he admitted, noticing the faint rosy hue on Scorpius' cheeks, "and I wanted to spend Christmas eve with you"

Scorpius' eyes went wide, "is it really Christmas eve?" he asked in wonderment. Albus nodded. "Merlin's balls"

Albus chuckled lightly, "can you not work for one night, Scorp? Please? Let's do something"

"What?"

"I don't know -Anything!"

Scorpius cocked an uninterested eyebrow, "so you came all this way from goodness knows where -to invite me to do something with you -that you have no idea what that is?"

Albus averted his eyes and shifted in his seat, "would that be a bad thing?" he asked casually, though Scorpius could have sworn that there was a devious glint in Albus' bright green eyes.

Scorpius hummed in thought, "yes it would. I have all this work to do and-"

"Scorp"

Scorpius stopped mid-rant and frowned, "yes?"

Albus hesitated before taking Scorpius' hand in his own. "Come with me, Scorp, I have something to show you"

Scorpius snorted, "more exciting than Potions homework?"

Albus gave Scorpius an are-you-serious? look, "Yes, Scorp, way more exciting"

"James, where the bloody hell have you been?"

James rolled his eyes as he dumped his bag by his locker and hurriedly started getting changed for their practice. "I over slept, that's all"

"It's 4pm in the afternoon, how much sleep do you need?" chided one of his teammates. James rolled his eyes as he tied his red robes on over his chest. His trousers were tight as were the shin guards.

"Look, I'm here aren't I? Just drop it, grab your brooms and move!"

The team jumped into action as they trudged outside to the Quidditch pitch. The grass gleamed bright green, and the sky shone dusty grey with fluffy cotton clouds. James breathed in the chilly air. It stung his lungs. He shivered as he mounted his broom and kicked off through the archway to the changing rooms and into the cool atmosphere overhead. The practice started, with James yelling himself hoarse over the correct ways to perform various moves. His blood roared within his ears.

Four grueling hours later hardly any of their tactics had been improved and James was ready to take a bat and whack a bludger into someones head. Sadly, the equipment had been packed up so he could not complete his fantasy. He sighed dejectedly. "James?" he directed his gaze towards the ground. He sighed.

"Yes?"

"Come on -practice is over, right?"

"Yes is it" James stated.

"Then why are you still up here?"

"Cause I fancy a fly, is that alright with you?" James had not meant to snap, but he needed to clear his head. He shook his head and turned to stare out over the lake, he had a good view from up where he was floating, by the goal hoops. He breathed deeply. He had no idea how much time had passed.

"James?"

James jolted out of his reverie and glanced down to see a shock of bright blue hair. A small smile stroked across his lips. He lent forward slightly and glided down to the ground. He had the urge to throw his arms around the blue-haired boy, however he knew he could not. He was itching to hold the older boy to his chest. He could tell Teddy had the same urges. Overhead the sky grew gradually darker. "Hey" he started awkwardly.

"Hi" Teddy noticed James' blush, "that was some pretty smooth gliding up there"

James flushed, his body blushing pink, "er ... thanks"

Teddy gnawed his lips, "it feels weird talking to you like I have no idea who you are"

James nodded in understanding. He had grown used to embracing Teddy whenever he felt like it, and now it was a struggling battle to suppress those urges. "I know -I feel on edge"

Teddy bowed his head, hands stuffed within his pockets, "wanna join me in the prefects bathroom later this evening? I know the new password" he gave a seductive wink. James felt a twitch in his pants.

"Er .. y-yeah I'm pretty -sweaty from Quidditch and stuff"

Teddy chuckled, "meet me there in an half an hour"

James nodded quickly as Teddy turned to walk away. As he brushed past James he drew in and placed a chaste kiss to the brunettes mouth. James brushed his fingertips over his lips as he watched Teddy walk up ahead to the castle.

"Okay -you can open your eyes now"

Scorpius opened his eyes and gasped sharply, almost choking on the in take of break. "Sweet Merlin, Al, what did you do?" his wide silver eyes gazed around the Astronomy tower. There was a small arrangement of cushions, pillows and warm blankets on the balcony of the astronomy tower. The telescopes had been packed away to one side. Small candles in colored glass holders floated overhead. Scorpius looked at the slightly smaller boy and frowned, "what is all this?"

Albus shrugged flushing a little, "well this is your Christmas surprise" when Scorpius did not say anything, Albus felt panic ignite within his chest, "well -I was going to sneak us into -Hogsmeade but I -I wanted this to be special so I-"

"Shh" Scorpius smiled softly, pressed a finger to the brunette's lips. Albus' eyes glistened and reflected Scorpius' gentle, angelic face. Both boys' could feel their hearts beating erratically. Something caught Scorpius' eyes and he looked up. A small smile played on his lips, "hm mistletoe"

Albus swallowed thickly, "m-maybe we should -er -"

"Kiss" Scorpius breathed, his eyelids half-closed as he wrapped his arms around Albus' smaller frame. Albus leant closer to the warmth and felt their noses brush against one another, their lips itching to kiss the others. Scorpius closed the distance between them and stroked his hand through Albus' messy hair, resting his hand on the back of Albus' neck. Albus pressed against the warmth of the older boys' body, his heart fluttering and his stomach bubbling with emotion.

When they broke apart both were blushing furiously. Scorpius became tongue-tied. His first kiss. He had not known what to expect but it was breath-taking. Albus fiddled with his fingers and ran a hand through his messy hair, a trait he had picked up from his father. Scorpius found it adorable. He smiled softly and looked over at the arrangement of cushions. Albus followed his gaze and smiled, "there's some food over there as well -i-if you like"

Scorpius grinned down at Albus, "what exactly did you get?"

Albus flushed, "salmon sandwiches, pumpkin pasties, ice cream and chocolate cake and pumpkin juice"

Scorpius' eyes sparkled with warmth and adoration. Albus had just listed off every single one of his favorite foods. "I -I don't know what to say"

"A simple thank you would suffice" Albus smiled.

Scorpius bent his head and brushed his lips along Albus', "thank you, Al"

Sweet scents hovered in the air overhead as Teddy caressed the damp mop of black hair as James relaxed against his chest. James purred affectionately. "I loved feeling your wet body against me" Teddy breathed. It was true. When they were both weightless in the warm water of the bath, it was easy to caress every possible muscle in his lovers' body. And now cuddled up within the soft cotton sheets of James' bed in Gryffindor tower, the cleanliness they felt pressed against one another's sweet scented body, was enough to lull them both into a daze. James' loved lying on top of Teddy's muscular body. It soothed him.

James pressed a kiss to Teddy's nipple, "I love being with you"

Teddy smiled, "I'm glad"

"Hey Teddy" James breathed, stroking his lover's chest. "What do you think your father would say if he knew about us?"

James looked up, resting his chin on Teddy's chest. Teddy frowned in thought, "Seriously? I don't know. In retrospect he would be happy that it is love between two people he knows and trusts. He knows I would never intentionally hurt you. And he would only want what is best for the both of us, once he gets past the first shock of it all, and of course, the age gap"

James gave a weak smile, "he seemed alright with Eli"

Teddy rolled his eyes, "Well Eli was more or less your age, and then he transformed into your gorgeous hunk of a boyfriend." James stuck his tongue out. Teddy hugged the boy down to his chest, "lets not think on it now, alright, not until you're at least seventeen"

"Why not?"

"I am not going to be responsible for your father breaking us up because you're too young for me"

"I'm fifteen" James hissed.

Teddy rolled his eyes, "I know that, love, but I am just over four years older than you. That is why he would worry"

James nodded. He understood this. But he loved Teddy, that's all that mattered. He cuddled himself against Teddy's chest and closed his eyes. He was content to just be with Teddy. For as long as possible.


A/N: Okay I know this chapter was a little dry, but it was so much better in my head. Do not worry the next chapter will be a cute-fest.
