A couple of days later the young couple woke up early, with both Fleur and Dora cuddled into them, and all signs of how they spent their night very evident on the two women since Dora's ass was still bright red. "Good morning, you two. Did you sleep okay?" Hermione asked as the two women woke up as well.
Fleur smiled and pressed a soft kiss to the brunette's cheek. "I slept wonderfully, I don't know about my wife though."
Dora smiled at her. "I slept okay, my ass is still stinging though."
"You were disrespectful Dora, you know I had to punish you, and I knew you got off on it." Fabian said as he pressed a kiss against her neck.
Nymphadora blushed a little at that. "Perhaps, but you know I like it anyway, although usually you at least give me some ointment."
"We were all tuckered out last night, Dora. Would you like me to do that now?" He asked softly.
She smiled and kissed him. "I'll be okay, I know you two have a big day planned. I'm sure Fleur won't mind massaging my butt a little."
Fleur only made a noise of approval when a soft croon came from the corner of the room. "It seems our little one is up as well." Hermione said softly.
Fabian and Dora smiled as the emerald colored head of Gaia popped up at the end of the bed, chirping happily when she saw that Fabian and Hermione were already awake. He tapped the spot between them and Gaia happily flew up a little to softly land on the bed, trudging slowly towards them before cuddling between them.
"We'll leave you two for now, we will see you two at breakfast." Fleur said softly.
They nodded and accepted a kiss from the two women. "We might be a tad late, could you let them know?"
"We'll tell them that you two wanted to cuddle with Gaia a little while longer, but I don't know how much time that will buy you." Nymphadora said with a soft smile.
They nodded and smiled at them as both of them gave Gaia a loving scratch behind her ears.
Hermione then pulled the young dragon into her lap, clearly intending to monopolize her, which Gaia didn't seem to have any issue with. "She comes to love you more with every passing day, 'Mione. It is so sweet to see you two interact." He said with a sweet smile.
She blushed a little as Gaia crawled up her arm to lie down in her neck. "I can't help it, she's so sweet and gentle. Loving her comes easy, just as easy it is to love you. I just can't help but imagine how it will be in a few years, when we are ready to start our own family."
He smiled and kissed her softly. "I think she will always have that gentle nature where family is concerned, and I am sure that she will be a wonderful playmate and protector for our children."
"You want more than one then?" Hermione asked hopefully.
He smiled at her. "Of course I do. I have always wanted a big family. I used to imagine having a family with Luna and having at least three dark blonde children running around, but lately those have changed into three dark brown haired children, more specifically two girls and a boy, in that order."
She smiled brightly and kissed him softly. "How convenient, because I had a dream that showed me exactly that, but come, let's go freshen up a little and then show ourselves at breakfast."
He nodded and smiled at her as she got out of bed, Gaia still lying in her neck like an emerald colored scarf. He then stretched and followed her into the bathroom to wash up a little. They would shower after breakfast before they would leave for Morgana's castle which was located on an island somewhere in the English countryside, under Morgana's variation of the Fidelius Charm.
Ten minutes later they had dressed and were presentable for breakfast, although Gaia was reluctant to leave the apparent comfort of Hermione's neck. "I promise the moment we have a stable connection between our homes, you can come with us, sweetling. We can't have the Muggles see you." Hermione said softly.
Gaia crooned softly and pressed her snout against her neck before repeating the action on Fabian, flying down afterwards to curl up in her corner again.
They smiled at her. "She'll be okay. She's just sad that she can't come with us." He said softly.
"I know, but I just wish she could come with us. I think a change of scenery would do her good." Hermione said softly.
He nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "I agree, but even we could find ourselves in a spot of trouble if someone sees her."
She smiled at him as an idea formed in her head. "How about if we found a way to make her invisible. I found a spell in Morgana's journal that can make a magically strong creature like a dragon invisible for a time. It is how she hid her own dragon in times of need."
"If you are sure it can be done, I see no issue in bringing our little sweetling. She deserves to be there for this. The magic lingering there is as ancient as hers after all." He said with a soft smile.
Hermione nodded and walked over to Gaia. "If you promise to stay still on my arm, you can come with us, my sweetling."
Gaia nodded enthusiastically and flew back up to her shoulder, nuzzling her neck sweetly.
Both Fabian and Hermione smiled at their familiar and gave her a loving scratch behind her ear, something they knew Gaia loved before they made their way downstairs.
…
After breakfast Hermione cast the Disillusion spell on Gaia as Fabian apparated them close to the wards that concealed the island.
They arrived at the edge of a small lake shrouded in fog. "I don't think this is anywhere near the countryside. Do you think Morgana did this on purpose?"
"I think she did. If anyone other than me or your family had gotten their hands on that book, the results could have been disastrous. But what I wonder is how you managed to get us here." She said as she removed the spell from Gaia.
"I honestly don't know love. Maybe because you are with me and we knew where we were going the magic of Apparition gave us a hand." He said softly.
Hermione smiled at that. "Perhaps, but that is something we can find out later, I'm so excited on exploring the island."
"So am I, but we need to find a way to get there first, because I don't see a boat anywhere." He said softly.
Hermione smiled and kissed his cheek. "We have magic, love, I am sure we can find a way to get across that lake, and besides, there is a boat, it's just in the mist."
He looked around again but saw nothing. "Where is it then, I can't see it."
She smiled and led him to the shore, where the mists parted to show an old wooden boat, which was in remarkable good condition. "How did you know that was here love, because I couldn't see it before the mist parted.
"I felt it. I think it's because we are so close to the origins of my magic, and perhaps my life, because something Dumbledore said about that still bothers me." She said softly.
He smiled at her as they stepped into the boat. "I have been thinking about that as well, perhaps we will find some answers here."
She smiled and kissed him as the boat drifted itself to the island, the magic of the island seeming to increase as they got closer, and Hermione especially felt her magic connecting to that of the island.
"Are you okay love? You seem a bit tense, not to mention that your eyes are turning gold again." He asked with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at him. "I don't know what it is, but the magic of this island calls to me, I feel it resonating in my core, like I was always meant to come here again."
Fabian smiled at her as he wrapped and arm around her waist. "That would mean you were here before though."
"I've had dreams of this island since I was a little girl. I just didn't realize that it was this island before today. For once Dumbledore might have a point." She said softly.
"Perhaps we will find some things that might help you make sense of these dreams. Whatever happens, both me and Gaia are here for you today." He said as the boat docked itself.
Hermione smiled and gave her lover a kiss before he got out, holding a hand out to her to help her out of the boat, which made her smile even brighter at him. "You're too sweet, my love."
"I am just being a gentleman, my love, just like Cissa taught me to be." He said with a soft smile.
"I still don't understand why you don't just call her your mother. I mean both Andi and Narcissa are your mothers too, aren't they?" Hermione asked softly.
He smiled at that. "They are, but they figured it would be easier for me if I only had one mother, and once I knew the truth it was kind of stuck in my mind. I do call them Mom or mother from time to time, but most of the time I just don't think about it."
She smiled and kissed him softly. "You should try and do that more. I know it will mean a lot to them both, and might spark some more things in the bedroom as well."
He nodded at that. "I promise to try love, but before we lose most of the day standing at the precipice, shall we enter your home?"
She nodded as they stepped through the archway, where they were met with an apparition of a dark haired woman that looked a lot like Hermione. "I knew you would find your way here eventually, my sweet. Back to the place where you came into existence."
Hermione looked a bit shocked and backed into Fabian, who wrapped a protective arm around her waist.
The apparition smiled at her. "You don't have to be afraid of me, Hermione. The fact that you and your mate have found your way here tells me that you are ready to discover the truth. You will be the one that will complete what I have started so many years ago. The change that this world so desperately needs."
Hermione smiled at her. "You must be Morgana then. It is an honor to meet you."
Morgana's apparition smiled and nodded. "I am young ones. Morgana Le Fay at your service."
"How are you able to show yourself to us? You have been dead for a millennium." Fabian asked softly.
She smiled at him. "A true Black if I ever saw one, always very inquisitive. While it is true that I have been dead for a very long time, one of the spells I cast before I walked to my death made sure that my essence would live on, manifesting in what you see before you today and due to the magic of the Old Religion that makes up this island, I know what is going on in the world as well, to which I must congratulate you. I never thought it was possible to get that meddling old goat to willingly take a truth serum and that it would cost him everything at the same time."
Hermione smiled at her ancestor. "It was indeed shockingly easy, but he deserved everything he got, although I don't understand why they didn't snap his wand."
Morgana smiled at her as she floated up to them. "He will still has his uses before this is all over, and the wand he carries cannot be snapped. It was mine after all."
Hermione smiled at that. "Really. I think we need to talk to the Minister again and see if we can get your wand back. What surprises me more is that you needed a wand in the first place. Every account painted you as such a powerful witch that you could cast any spell without wand or word."
"It is true that I could cast without wand or word, but I crafted that wand for my more complicated rituals, and now it is yours, Hermione, and now I will leave you three to explore the island at your leisure." Morgana's apparition said with a smile.
They nodded and smiled as the ancient witch disappeared, leaving them to explore the island in peace.
Gaia had apparently been asleep through all of the talk and cracked a toothy yawn before nuzzling Hermione's neck. "Hello again sweetling. Did you have a nice nap?"
Gaia nodded and flew off her shoulder to stretch her wings a little. "Feel free to explore on your own a little, my sweet. Mommy and Daddy need to look for some things. We'll be back soon." Fabian said softly.
She nodded and pressed her head against his hand before flying off, gliding around in lazy circles. "She's so graceful when she flies. I wonder who taught her that." Hermione said teasingly.
He smiled at her. "It was Luna of course. She encouraged Gaia to fly again once her wing was healed. We never expected her to want to stay with us, but Gaia sure livened up the house when she chose to stay, not to mention how much Mom loved the extra help in the garden, because so far I have only seen her eat plants, with only the occasional rodent."
"Mostly a vegetarian then. Every day there is something new to adore." Hermione said with a soft smile as she let her magic lead them to where she felt she needed to go.
He smiled at her as they walked across the length of the island towards the ruins of what once was a magnificent castle, although he could see the shimmer of wards surrounding it. "It seems Morgana did everything in her power to let everyone think that her line had died. I think the wards are waiting the touch of their mistress."
Hermione smiled and kissed him softly. "I know, and I am trying to remember the spell I am supposed to use for that. It is a very tricky one that I haven't had a chance to practice yet. So this has to be right in one go." She said as she waved her wand in a complicated pattern and spoke an ancient Celtic incantation.
The wards shimmered away and showed a grand castle that looked like it was only recently built, the dark stones gleaming in the sunlight while the black stoned towers seemed to radiate warmth even from this distance, and in the distance they could hear something like a waterfall.
As they walked up to the Castle, the wooden doors swung open without a sound, revealing a grand antechamber that looked absolutely stunning. "Wow, I never guessed that something like this could be real." Hermione said softly.
"It's all yours, my love, and I think this will be a common theme in the entire castle. Shall we go and see if we can set up a Floo connection, and afterwards see if we can find your new sanctuary." He said with a soft smile.
"And by that I assume you mean the library, my love?" She asked with a soft smile.
He nodded and at that. "Of course the library, or your new sanctuary has become the bedroom these days."
She smiled and kissed him softly. "Trust me that we will be searching for a bedroom where I will rock your world, Fabian Black."
"Is that so, Ms. Le Fay? May I suggest we go and do that then, we might take a while after all." He said with a loving smile.
Hermione smiled at him. "Not so fast love, we have all day, and I thought it would be fun to christen our potential future home properly. We have literally all day to explore both, although I promised Narcissa I would have us home before dinner."
He smiled and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles. "Actually. I convinced her to let us skip dinner so I can take you out on a well deserved date. We haven't had one in ages and I think we have deserved a night of just the two of us without having to think about everything going on."
She blushed prettily and kissed him softly. "I would love to go on a date with you, but I do hope you have accounted for the fact that we will need to change. I am not going on a date dressed in street clothes."
"Nor would I expect you to, my love. I have reservations in London at seven. We have plenty of time." He said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at that as she pressed a soft kiss against her lover's cheek. "Then we'll go and find Morgana's vault and go to the mansion after that. You've gotten me all giddy."
He smiled and nodded as they started their search for Morgana's Vault, which was where Morgana's most prized possessions were stored.
…
Two hours later Fabian, Hermione and Gaia appeared in front of the gates of Morgana's mansion near London, and while at first glance the building itself looked good, the gardens were overgrown and wild.
The gates however swung open without a sound. "Are you hungry, my sweet?" Hermione asked Gaia softly.
Gaia nodded enthusiastically at her mother. "Then go wild, my sweet. Make it as nice as the garden at home, and feel free to make a home for yourself as well." Hermione said sweetly.
Gaia gave an adorable chirp as she nuzzled their necks before flying off, going to work immediately.
Fabian and Hermione merely smiled at their familiar as they made their way into the mansion. "Wow, I never expected it to look so clean and put together after such a long time. There is little we actually have to do to make it livable." She said as she looked around.
He nodded at that. "I think Mom will have a field day here. Andromeda loves to decorate houses. She'll have this place done to your standards in no time."
She smiled at him. "I'll ask her tomorrow, let's explore first and claim a bedroom. I believe you made me a promise earlier today, and I fully intend to collect."
He smiled and kissed her. "Then lead the way, my love. You're getting me hard already.
Hermione smiled coyly at her lover as she took his hand so they could search for a bedroom together.
After a bit of searching they found a bedroom they both agreed on, having a beautiful view and plenty of space, as well as plenty of room for Hermione's extensive book collection.
The bed was itself was a four poster bed big enough to hold six people comfortably, and would certainly be a quick favorite in the family.
Hermione then turned to her lover and smiled. "So love, shall we get naked and ravage each other until we are both fully sated?"
Fabian nodded and kissed her softly. "I like the way you think, Princess." He said as he started undoing her corset, which had become a favorite of his lover in recent days, and he had to admit that he loved the look on her.
Hermione's hands weren't idle either, unbuttoning his blouse with skilled hands, all the while never breaking the kiss they shared.
When her breasts were bared she moaned loudly as his lips moved down to capture one of her nipples between them and she couldn't resist cupping the sizable bulge in his pants. "Let's move this to the bed love, I don't know how long I can restrain myself."
He nodded with dark, lust filled eyes, letting her lead him to the bed as he vanished the rest of their clothes.
Hermione then pushed him to the bed and straddled him. "I know I said I wanted you to take my last cherry today, but it appears that I have forgotten lube."
"It's okay love, we can wait with that until we are home again, but that leads to the question of what you are in the mood for?" He asked softly.
She smirked and kissed him. "I am going to ride you, love, and I want you to fill me to the brim with your seed. It's safe today, and I don't think I need to tell you that I want to feel your hands on my body every second."
He nodded and kissed her as she almost impaled herself on his cock, moaning loudly as she started riding him and he on his turn let his hands roam over her body, keeping one on her breasts and let the other glide to her hips. "I love the feel of your skin beneath my hands 'Mione. I wish I could touch you like this all day."
She smiled at that. "Perhaps we will some day, nudity is awfully practical in our family, and I bet you have dreamed of bending one of the women in that house over the couch or table and fucking her until she's moaning your name."
"Been there and done that. Luna and I did it on a rare night we were home alone during the summer. I fucked her on almost every available surface in the house, except the kitchen." He said with a soft smile.
Hermione laughed lightly at that. "I should've known that you've done that before, but you have to admit that it is something to think about, and perhaps something we should suggest to the others once we are home."
He nodded and smiled at her. "I think Luna will be firmly on your side on that. Whenever she has the chance she chooses to go without clothes, and I don't think that Dora will mind either. She's always been a rebel."
Hermione smiled and kissed him deeply as she let herself fall against him and slowly started rocking against him, getting lovely groans from her lover. "I take it from those noises that you are enjoying yourself, my love?"
"Of course I am, you're gripping my cock so good with that wet pussy of yours that I can't help but feel like I am in heaven." He said with a loving smile.
She smirked and kissed him deeply. "You are surprisingly not the first member of your family that has called my vagina heavenly. Dora said the same thing last night."
He only smiled at her as she started riding him again, although she kept her upper body pressed tightly against his. "It seems you are becoming more like Morgana with every passing day my love, your breasts have definitely grown at least a cup size since the start of summer."
She smiled at that. "I noticed that as well. None of my bra's will fit anymore, so I might steal Narcissa or Andromeda for an afternoon and go on a lingerie shopping spree."
He smiled and kissed her. "I can't wait to see them, my love, but I am close. You're milking me dry with that tight pussy of yours."
"Then cum, my love. I want you to fill me up to the brim." She said huskily.
He nodded and flipped them so he could bury himself inside of her completely before he came, Hermione screaming out his name as she crashed into all of the orgasms that she had been holding back.
As they rode out their highs, she couldn't resist pulling him down into a kiss. "Thank you love, that was amazing."
"You were amazing too Princess, but I hope that you were right of it being safe today, otherwise we will have little other option than to get married." He said softly.
She smiled sweetly at that. "I am one hundred percent sure that it is safe today, my love, and even if I end up pregnant and we need to rush to get married, I will gladly marry you before we go back to school."
He just smiled and kissed her softly as they relaxed against each other, more than content to bask in the afterglow of their lovemaking.
…
Two hours later they finally managed to get out of bed again, since they were entirely too comfortable in bed, and after setting up a Floo connection to Black Manor, they made their way back outside so they could see what Gaia had been able to do so far.
To their surprise most of the front side of the garden looked at least halfway decent, there was of course still a lot to do, and they were pretty sure that Narcissa would love to get her hands on this garden together with their little one. "Gaia, sweetling. Are you ready to go home?" Hermione called out.
Gaia flew up to them and gave a loving chirp as she landed on Fabian's shoulder. "You've done a very good job, my sweet. Thank you or all your help so far." He said as he scratched her behind her ear.
Gaia crooned contently and nuzzled his neck. "It think Narcissa will ask for your help soon, my sweet. You've done an amazing job so far." Hermione said with a soft smile.
The dragon chirped happily and nuzzled her head against Hermione's hand as they walked back inside to the Floo.
When they stepped out of the Floo in Black Manor they saw Bellatrix with her skirt flipped up and bent over the couch while Luna was eating her out from behind, while Narcissa and Andromeda were lazily fingering each other on the opposite couch. "Well this is a sight to come home to. What brought this up?" He asked as Gaia flew down and out the door, probably to continue the nap Fabian and Hermione had interrupted.
Bellatrix smiled at him as she moaned loudly. "We were feeling a bit amorous after our swim earlier, so this was our solution. I hope you two had fun today?"
They took a seat in the available loveseat and nodded. "We had an amazing day so far. The Island is amazing to set up a base of operations eventually and the Mansion we visited could serve as a home if we ever wanted a change of scenery. We would certainly have plenty of room to house everyone and then some, as well as an amazing garden for Gaia."
Narcissa smiled at that. "How about we talk about that when we're all a bit more dressed and composed, and perhaps we could go and take a look later, while you two are on your date, if you are okay with that of course, Hermione."
"Of course I am, Narcissa. Everyone in this house is forever welcome at any of my properties, and are free to make whatever changes you want. There is no one I trust more than my own family, because that is what you have become." Hermione said as she flashed her lover a wink and walked over to Narcissa and Andromeda, sinking to their knees in front of them.
Narcissa smiled at the young witch who merely flashed her a wink before taking a long lick up Narcissa's soaking slit, making the blonde moan loudly.
Not wanting to be left out of the impromptu orgy, Fabian made his way over to the couch, sitting down next to his mother while vanishing his pants, Bellatrix merely smiling as she sucked the head of his cock between ruby lips.
When Dora and Fleur walked in a few minutes later, it didn't take thirty seconds before Fleur was next to Hermione to eat out Andromeda and Dora had maneuvered herself beneath Luna to pleasure the young blonde.
"I knew it was going to happen some day, but I never could've thought it would happen this soon." Fabian said softly.
"This is merely a warm up, Fabian. We'll do this properly before you go back to school." Andromeda said with a smile.
He only smiled at that as Bellatrix sucked him to a slow and relaxed climax, while Hermione did the same for Narcissa and Fleur, after which the brunette sauntered up to her lover, taking a seat in his lap as she kissed him. "You taste like mother. It is sweet combined with the taste of your lips."
Hermione smiled at him. "And I love the way your cock gives that little bounce against my leg when you just shot your load, almost as if you are ready for another round already."
"Even I don't have infinite stamina love, and given the fact that we spent two hours pleasuring each other at the Mansion, it is little wonder that I am a little spent." He said with a soft smile.
"Then how about this. While I bring Dora to a mind shattering orgasm, you go start the shower so we can prepare for our date. It wouldn't do for me to let Dora be the only woman unsatisfied." Hermione said with a soft smile.
He smiled and kissed her before lifting her off him and setting her back onto the couch. "Your wish is forever my command, my love."
She smiled and watched walk up the stairs, not even having bothered putting his pants on again, making all of the moan softly. "He's such a tease." Bellatrix said softly.
"While that is true, this may have been my fault. I said that going nude inside the house would be practical." Hermione said with a light blush as she gave Bellatrix a soft kiss and then made her way to Dora, plunging two fingers inside the pink haired witch, making her moan loudly.
Bellatrix smiled at her as she moaned out her orgasm. "Luna, sweetie, please, Mommy needs a bit of rest."
Luna smiled and let Bellatrix take a seat before sitting down next to her and cuddling up to her mother. "Did you enjoy yourself Mom?"
Bella nodded and kissed the blonde softly as Dora moaned out her own orgasm, after which Hermione gave the Metamorphmagus a kiss. "I'm sorry I can't stay for our customary post-fuck cuddle, but I have to go and prepare for a date."
Dora smiled at her. "It's okay, I don't think I will be of much use for a cuddle anyway. I can't really feel my arms, both you and Fleur wore me out a little."
Hermione smiled and gave the Metamorphmagus' breasts a soft squeeze before she made her way upstairs, also not bothering to redress herself.
When Fabian and Hermione came back downstairs an hour later, the entire family had once again composed themselves, now all fully dressed and talking quietly among each other, Narcissa and Bellatrix smiling when they saw how they were dressed. "You both look gorgeous, although I don't know why you went for Muggle clothes today." Narcissa with a slight look of distaste.
Fabian smiled at her. "Because I have reservations in a top restaurant in Muggle London, where the chance of us being recognized is slim to none. We just want a quiet night without anyone trying to either kill us, or badger us for a story."
Bellatrix smiled as she wrapped an arm around her sister's waist. "You can't deny that is a very sound plan, Cissy, and I am sure Fabian made sure to choose the best restaurant."
Fabian only nodded and gave his mothers a hug before he apparated them away for their night out.
