CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

MALFOY MANOR

The day of the ball dawned frosty but clear. Again an army of elves were hard at work transforming the way to the ballroom from the front door and the ballroom itself. A winter wonderland was the theme and every surface that was visible was dusted in the white powder snow and charmed to remain frozen despite the warmth of the house.

The serving elves were lined up and inspected by the head elf. All were in black and white uniforms. They were also given a list of people to be wary of as they had an established history of abuse to elves.

The ball itself invited all pure blood families. So that probably meant that the Weasley's were going to attend. Groaning Draco realised that the security team would be needed that night. So he set off to brief them. Lucius had left the details of the ball to Hermione as it was the lady of the houses job and went with Severus down to the potion's lab in the basement for the rest of the day, both declaring they will be ready before the reception line is needed.

Hermione was in the process of freezing and charming the bowls used for the fruit punch, mead, egg nog and wine punch. Then she needed to make a stop at the ballroom to see that all is ready. People were due to arrive at six sharp. That meant they had to be down before quarter to, she looked at her watch and it was three already. She made sure platters were sent upstairs for the family and guests that stayed over from last night. And went to get ready herself.

Hermione encountered Dora on her way to Draco's room. She offered to help and Hermione took it before she could get the sentence out.

In her shared room Draco was setting out his evening robes. He was suitably shoved out the door to ready himself in Harry's room. After a relaxing bath, Dora made an arrangement of curls, that at a distance looked like a rose. And added diamond pins to make the style look like the rose had dew drops on it's petals. She was also talking Hermione up saying that the security was tight and the elves knew to keep eyes on the nasty people. The Aurors present will be running interference at any time therefore keeping her contact with Ron, Ginny and Molly to a minimum. Dora then presented Hermione with a new holster that is designed for evening ware. It strapped to the lower leg or quick access instead of raising the skirt completely it slips out when you raise you leg behind you and make contact with the holster or a simple accio.

Dora was wearing a red gown with golden stitching around the neck, cuffs and hem making it look like there are two gowns instead of one. The addition of a stiff petticoat and the dress truly looked like they were two not one. The effect was amazing.

Hermione was dressed in a cream and dusky pink gown. The cream was lace and made up the sleeves and bodice, with sections making an over skirt that was hanging down to over the skirt. There was a slit up to her thigh to allow movement. She wore the jewellery that she used when brunching with the Queen.

Lucius came to the door with another box. "I dread to think Lu?"

"Ah my dear, this trinket will barely but a bauble because you truly don't need jewels to make you." He opened the box and there sat a tiara, a diamond one at that. The points at the top was adorned with long thin diamonds. When he handed it to Dora he was in awe. She really didn't need it at all.

The clock was striking the quarter of the hour, and everyone moved with purpose. The final checks were done, and all was in readiness. Hermione was to make an appearance at six thirty, she was led to a ladies sitting room where she was served wine to calm her nerves. Draco entered and poured a few fingers of firewhiskey and joined Hermione on the love seat.

Draco took her hand and placed it on his upper thigh, where Hermione decided to break the mounting tension by scraping her nail against his package making him to moan loudly.

"Baby doll you know we cant do anything, and I am too scared I will break something when I look at you. Father was right you didn't need the tiara. You are a true beauty and Sev is going to blow a few buttons when he gets eyes on you." he kissed her cheek, forehead, her nose and finally her mouth. His hand kept the one teasing him where it was and the other slid to the side of her neck and held her head in position. When they pulled apart their drinks were untouched and it was time for him to leave. Standing and readjusting himself he winked and let.

Hermione downed her wine in three gulps and stood as well an elf appeared and gathered her skirt while she walked. When she got to the staircase the skirt was put down and fluffed out to how it is meant to be.

The Weasleys were just being passed through the receiving line. When they looked up and were struck dumb. In passing Severus muttered that I did that often to them as he walked to the other side of the stair way. Craggy and his wife joined Draco and Severus with Lucius standing front and centre. A few pairs of heels were clicked together signalling that they knew who she was truly, and she was hard pressed to smile after that. A few of those clicks came from the Weasley family, others were off to the side.

As she descended the stairs Draco got impatient and decided to meet her half way. Lucius turned to the gathered crowd. "Presenting Duchess of Cumberland and future Lady Malfoy Hermione Granger-Potter, escorted by Master Malfoy," when she got to the bottom of the stairs Lucius and Severus bowed and the ball officially started. Hermione soon found out that shaking people's hands was making her skin crawl and she wanted desperately to rush and either wash her hands or wear gloves next time. When they came around to the Weasley's Arthur embraced Hermione openly going against his wife and youngest children. When Molly tried to do the same her arms were suddenly tucked away by Lucius and Draco. Fred and George asked for dances and Charlie and Bill were promised private words. Before moving on. Adhering to the order not to speak with Molly, Ginny and Ron the Auror close by was impressed.

The small orchestra was now ready to begin and Lucius bowed over her hand and escorted her to the middle of the floor. They began waltzing around. As everyone watching them. "My love it seems that you have made them your devotees, and willing servants to your whims. Congratulations my love, you have been launched into our society, leaving everyone to come to wonder your next gowns and jewellery that will grace everyone's senses."

"Surely you jest milord." Hermione whispered shocked.

"I jest not lady. We will soon be handing out drool rags to the men at the very least lest they embarrass their wives." He smiled and kept dancing, where he bowed and she curtseyed. She was taken back to Draco who lead her back out to the dance floor and began dancing around again. Instead of returning to where Severus is he presented her to his friends. Who didn't really know what to say.

Bill and Charlie came over to speak with her. Draco led them to a room that was quickly warded and silenced "Duchess..." they murmured.

"Good grief I'm still Hermione though it good to see you both," she hugged them separately.

Bill spoke up. "We were asked to speak to you privately on behalf of your aunt. And introduce ourselves. You know you should of told us that you were that close to the royals instead we had to find out the hard way. What the hell Hermione?"

Draco piped up. "What gets mentioned doesn't go further. Mya will need both your word and wand oath. Sorry."

Both were given and Hermione enlightened them as to the days that contained the funeral, Dumbledore's confession to gain her compliance, Ron and Ginny's behaviour and their own mothers snooping and teachings. Somehow shock didn't really cover what they felt after the tale was told. Bill had to hold Charlie down when he tried to go after his siblings. And Charlie had to hold Bill down for his mother's involvement. She then went on to explain why her parents were going to demand her return. It was on behalf of her aunt and Dumbledore decided the sacrifice was worth the queens wrath. After being promised by Dumbledore I wouldn't be fighting I could remain. But we all know things were different and if he hadn't already been charged and sentenced she was going to make an appearance she even went so far as to send her threat global, the Commonwealth holds a lot of wizarding realms. And each of them is attached to a country she governs. So you could see that life would become more than difficult."

"Praise her good grace then," Bill stated clearly Charlie nodded and realisation dawned on Draco just how powerful Hermione's aunt really was. When it was time to rejoin the party they renewed their oaths and left in separate directions.

Everyone remained until the ball concluded at two in the morning. At that time the elves were already cleaning up the messes and putting the manor back to right while the occupants slept. Draco swept Hermione in his arms and raced up the stairs to their room so that she didn't have to take another step. Gently seating her on the bed and removing the pins out of her hair. And dropping them on the floor and leaving them where they fell.. Draco then coaxed Hermione to stand when the door opened and admitted Harry, Severus and Lucius.

LEMON AHEAD

Harry promptly moved a winged back chair to a prime viewing position and settled in. like in his fantasies it isn't the sexual pull of watching something elicit but the artistry of a dance as old as time. Eventually he wanted his sister to witness what he does when he watches.

Severus enlarged the bed so that they could all fit there instead of leaving directly after and added some throw pillows. He also stokes the fire in the fire place so that the room is warm. There was no dimming of lights and no atmospheric music… tonight Hermione made a successful launch into pure blood society, tonight was a celebration.

Lucius was watching the pair, he was also making sure they didn't step on anything sharp like the diamonds on the floor taken from Hermione's hair. He was proud of her and her grace. She was a true Gryffindor and he had to be amazed as she ruled the ballroom full on snakes.

Tonight was about Draco and Hermione and their success. About worshipping the woman she is and what she is going to become, to them and magic. He was watching closely as he went to Severus after he had prepared the room, and began divesting him of his formal robes. Watching as skin was revealed. Hermione and Draco had stopped what they were doing to watch the men. Neither was sporting a lead pipe but they were at half mast. Harry murmured about how the curving of their packages was like little widows to what Hermione and Draco were doing.

The pair that consisted of Draco and Hermione had previously discussed that they would be catering to Lucius and Severus as it was them that saw to the details Hermione didn't know about. Harry knew what was going to happen and relaxed into his chair. Warmed by the fire and pleasant things to watch.

Draco turned Hermione towards them and slowly unzipped her dress and allowed it to fall to the floor, sensually revealing that she only wore a cream coloured sheer thong this had their attention. Draco magically divested his clothes behind her. He then went to his knees and drew her underwear down to he ankles as she stepped out of them. She then knelt in front of Lucius and Severus and took their dicks in her hands and started playing with them. Teasing them with her mouth and tongue making them hard and then got down to the serious job of getting two snakes off.

Draco sat down behind her with his legs parted and bent playing with her treasures while the men watched on. She was still kneeing so they saw Draco's fingers disappear into the hidden utopia that was kept there and they all knew it was only a matter of time before she would be taking them all at the same time. The thought was pure erotica and the visual was enough to make Merlin raise from his eternal slumber. Severus even peaked over Hermione's shoulder as she went to suck him and he saw that Draco was also on display as well.

Severus disengaged Hermione and her sucking to move to the bed to get them comfortable. Lucius did the same but in a position so he could have a bird's eye view of Severus ample charms.

Draco moved Hermione over to his father so he could take care of her while he went to Severus and started sucking his cock, not forgetting his balls and to eat out the elder's arse. The moans that came from both indicated that both were enjoying the act of pleasure. Lucius was encouraging Hermione and placing her hand between Draco's legs to play with his balls and then he dragged her fingers over his son's puckered hole. This cause a chain reaction with Draco starting to press his arse outward, that lead to his tightening his suction on Severus and Severus almost howling in pleasure.

Lucius had never touched his son sexually but watching Hermione explore was gratification upon its own. It wasn't long before Hermione's hand that was playing with his cock was covered with come. Lucius moved so that it dripped onto his son's arse. Lucius then instructed Hermione on how to bring a man pleasure without entering anything. He showed her how to massage his come in and make Draco loose his trains of thought. Instinctively Draco's cock was bouncing around.

Severus drew Draco up for a kiss while he encouraged his cock to wipe it's pre-ejeculate over his own puckered entrance. Getting up quickly he pushed Draco down into the pillows and spread his arse cheeks, so he could see Lucius and Hermione work. Approving he slid in until his balls were slapping against Draco's thighs.

Hermione moved over to Lucius' lap where she decided that there was enough play and slid down on him. Heat engulfed him and sent stars to his vision as he leaned back and allowed the witch to do her thing without out his interference. Her first orgasm was timed perfectly with Draco loosing his load on the bed and Severus loosing his in his son's arse.

Lucius decided that a bit of force should be introduced and quickly had Hermione on her back while he was still deep inside her. Pushing her legs over her head and her knees either side of her head be began a ferocious pace. Draco reached out and was then holding her hand as he watched his father take his fiance while Severus was taking him. With some forceful thrusting Severus grunted and released a moan as he came. He pulled out to watch the come slowly exit Draco's arse. Lucius watched as well as he held Hermione in her position.

Lucius knew this wasn't about how many times he was to come but he did want to paint a pretty picture on Hermione's face and the thought came to him. He was going to open his old playroom for them. That meant throwing out most of the stored toys and replacing them with new ones.

Severus was watching the position Hermione was in and put his hand under Lucius's balls to play with Hermione's puckered hole using his jizz to aid him. He gathered Draco in his arms to help him sit, and showed him what he was doing. Draco had a grin on his face when he was watching her. She then motioned to Severus to come up by her head so that she could suck on him while being drilled. Lucius moved also but kept Hermione in position. This allowed everyone to clearly see her hidden gems. Draco decided his cock could wait and began a feast, not content in just her hidden clit he made a meal out of all that was on offer. Both Lucius and Severus were more turned on as Draco made sure that her juices covered all of his face, leaving nothing uncovered.

After ten minutes, he then slid through her legs making sure that her jewels touched everything as he slid through her including his cock. He started the temptation again when he took himself in hand and used the head of his cock to rim her. Before turning her over and putting her bottom in the air with the aid of extra pillows. She was dripping and they all smelt her. He entered her and then allowed her to take Severus and Lucius in her mouth again before blowing his load inside. The others then lost themselves in paining interesting designs on her breasts and abdomen. As Severus was aiming for the area that joined the two. He rubbed his jizz in pushing his own finger in to join Draco cock. They laid there spent.

LEMON ENDED

Harry stoked the fire that began to burn low leaving a chill starting to creep in the room. They were naked he couldn't let them get a chill. Again he was taken in the artistry that they used. There was nothing sexual when Lucius merely provided the lube for Hermione to explore Draco forbidden regions.

When they were rousing, they knew that each had a vision again, Hermione's was the same and so was Draco's. Lucius and Severus had different ones.

"Did any of you see anything?" Lucius asked softly.

"I saw something… that you and I are helping Hermione and Draco bring some drastic changes that are needed to light." Lucius agreed that he saw the same thing. Draco and Hermione said that they saw the same thing that they saw the first time.

Harry took note of these in a little book he had brought. "What is that Harry?" Draco asked.

"Its a note book I bought in the muggle world. I can write things down in it and its small enough to slip into my pocket." Draco nodded "I am keeping track of what you see when you do these things. My gut says its important."

Hermione stuck up her thumb and every one laughed. Slowly Draco and Harry helped Hermione sit up. And Harry ran to go and get the bath going. Some of the positions she was in would have been a strain on her.

"I am going to reopen the play room." Lucius said to the room.

Draco was stunned. "Whats the playroom?"

"A room where this sort of thing can and will occur. It has a couple of swings suspended from the ceiling and other things that we can use to heighten our senses and stimulation. Severus and I used to have a lot of fun in there when I used to host parties before you were born son." Lucius explained.

"It pretty much caters for some fetishes as well. Like if you want to be a kid, then there are toys and items there that are specific for that." Severus added. Then continued. "It's got a small indoor pool and a large hot tub and sauna for relaxing as well."

"I wanted to ask Lucius did you feel incestuous blowing your load on Draco?" Harry asked. "I am still learning and if I can I want to learn from these sessions that you have."

"We don't have a problem with that Harry at all and no I don't feel any sort of incest when doing that to my son, I was helping teach Hermione that there are points on a male body that aren't wholly cock related when she can touch and make Draco come. Do you feel the same way when you see your sister being done by the three of us?"

"No I don't. I feel pleasure that she is receiving hers, I feel happy that she is happy and I would do pretty much anything to make sure that this is her life for the eternal future."

"That's how I feel when watching Draco I just take it a step closer and Severus allows me close to watch and participate in his own pleasure as well or I would be sitting with you Harry. And rushing around afterwards to see to the comfort of everyone. At the end of the activities, it is always our duty to bathe and keep Hermione comfortable. If she wants a meal then we provide it. If she wants to sleep then she has. She gives us a gift every time we are like this and we as men its our duty to see to her care. Eventually shes going to be caring the next heir and we should appreciate all that can happen now and in the future. Who knows maybe one of these sessions will result in her being pregnant. Severus has already signed a contract to be on hand to act as father and help raising the child. Should I happen to do so then the child will be seen as Draco's but not listed as his heir."

"So these relationships are vary carefully thought about before anyone removes anything then?"

"Yes. Also when Hermione and Draco marry Severus will probably take vows with them along the lines that he wont stray and remain with them always."

"And what about you Lucius?" Harry asked.

"I will make my vows on their anniversary. Joining the established triad then." Lucius stated truthfully.

"So your looking until then?" Harry pressed.

"No I am not looking either passively or aggressively. As far as I am concerned Hermione is already Lady Malfoy and my wife. She showed that tonight. She was the one that was seeing to the details and planning the event."

"So this is a prelude to your lives then?" Harry summed up.

"Yes." Four voices stated.

It was now Draco that spoke up. "I see this as something that Hermione and I choose to share with father and uncle Severus. We have our time together. And it's is explosive and everything that I could ever dream of when it comes to fireworks, stars, chiming bells and all the things you get told that sex is all about. She just allows us to share that experience with the others."

Hermione decided it was time to set her brother straight. "Harry, nothing happens without my consent. They are getting me ready for some anal play and maybe some fetish play as well. They are also very receive pleasure from each of them before they seek their own. The art that you see is for your pleasure as well you see even your included.
