She watched as he paced. The same six feet section of rug wearing out from his bare feet. The sight of which made her want to laugh but she knew it would be poorly received. Sighing as a strong arm wrapped around her from behind, the shifting of the mattress alerting her that he too was now watching the fuming wizard in front of her. He pressed a kiss to the side of her head.

"Tully just replaced that rug, she will be mighty angry if you were to wear a path in it already." The deep voice sad from behind her, the words rumbling in her chest as it was pressed so tightly to her.

Antonins deep greens focused on them with an unamused frown on his lips.

This had been going on for the last fifteen minutes. They woke up three wide in her king size bed. She was content with staying pressed between her two wizards for the rest of her life. Antonins darker arm was wrapped around her middle while she found herself pressed into Thor's strong chest. One of her legs had gone in between his and his hand was warm against her exposed thigh. They were both so warm but she loved it. She had snuggled closer into them further when Antonin had spoken from behind her. He casually mentioned how her room was different and he was glad that she had updated her bed to a bigger one since the last time he was there.

Thorfinn, who she didn't know was even awake, was the first to answer. She would blame it on being first thing in the morning that he held absolutely no tack whatsoever when he blurted out.

"Well thank Barty Crouch for the upgrade."

She cringed knowing that Dolly had no idea, and if he was going to be as angry as Thorfinn was when he found out they were in for a rough morning. Dolly had sat up in a flurry and demanded to know the full story. Only realizing after she started he hadn't seen the man in months. He was furious at hearing the advantages he tried taking of her, and worse is he started to blame himself. Had he just gone on vacation with her he would have been with her and she wouldn't have been stressed enough to use a massage to begin with. She assured him that he would have found another opportunity. It wasn't until she explained in detail what the others had found in his apartment that he agreed. But he was still angry and had no outlet for it.

The strong arm across her waist pulled back enough where Thorfinns strong hand drifted underneath her pajamas. She was only wearing his old quidditch jersey and a pair of knickers. His hand started to gently caress the skin of her abdomen and she had to fight to keep from laughing as it tickled.

"Thorfinn." She hissed as his thumb kept gently flicking against her nipple until it was painfully hard.

"Shhh I'm sleeping." He whispered behind her, his hot breath moving the curls on the back of her neck.

"Hmm, weird, it feels an awful lot like you are awake." She said playfully as she rocked her hips back against him. Swallowing down a low moan as she made contact with him as he was hot and hard behind her.

His hand tightened on her core even as he hissed out another "Shhh" in her direction. She felt her heart rate increase as his hands travelled lower down her stomach and dipped into the top of her knickers. Strong enough to manipulate her body whatever way he wanted to he used the same hand to pull her back against her and she couldn't hold back the keening sound that slipped out when he met her half way with a thrust of his hips. The sound was loud enough to startle the disgruntled Russian out of his pacing as he turned his head to watch the two on the bed.

Thorfinn grinned against her skin when he noticed his friend had finally taken notice of them.

"It's about time Toni, you have this delectable witch in bed and you were spending all of your time out of it." He made a tsking sound. "Perhaps I should just make you watch what you could be joining in on instead." His bottom hand came up to grab a hand full of her curls and pulled slightly, exposing her neck.

He leaned down and ran his teeth along the column of her throat as his hand worked its way into her knickers while he kept rocking his erection into the crease of her ass. Hermione had allowed her eyes to flutter shut as she revealed in the feelings of Thor's hands all over her. She only opened them when she felt the bed shift, seeing Antnin crawling towards her with a hungry look on his face.

His fingers went right for the hem of her shirt and she lifted up slightly, assisting him on pulling it off over her head and tossing it blindly over his shoulder. The deep green of his eyes roving her now exposed body.

"I would prefer to join." His voice came out raspy. "It has been so so long since I have gotten to explore this beautiful body." His calloused fingers tracing slow circles around her nipples, hardening them even further.

There must have been silent conversation between the two men because Hermion knew she didn't respond before Thor was moving her closer to him while Antonin laid down next to her and took an offered breast into his mouth, sucking on it roughly. She let out another groan and threw her head back into Thorfinn as he leaned down and resumed placing open mouth kisses and light bites on her neck and shoulder. She felt him move his hands to grip her knickers before it tightened and she let out a yelp when he tore them from her. He never even paused after tossing the offending fabric away before he lifted her thigh placing it over his, exposing her in the chill of the room.

Working his hand behind her she jumped slightly, her eyes opening wide when he felt two hands exploring her nether regions. She looked from face to face of her two wizards and let out a moan when they both were smirking down at her. She should have been embarrassed at the flow of wetness she felt gush from her at the discovery of them both working together to bring her off but she couldn't be bothered as her pleasure grew and grew.

She felt Thorfinns larger fingers move into her enough to coat themselves with her slick before moving up the crease of her ass. She started to stiffen but was reduced to near boneless when Dollys fingers burrowed into her tight cunt while his thumb made small circles on her clit. It had her feeling so good with the addition of him biting and sucking on her nipples that she did not tense up when Thor moved one of his fingers into her ass. At the stretching feeling and the new sense of being so full she let out a loud guttural moan that started deep in her throat.

"Oh my fucking god." She cried out as they started moving their fingers in tandem.

Thor broke free from her neck to get closer to her ear where he whispered heatedly into her ear.

"Thats right baby girl, feel us both inside you. You like this don't you, both of us working together to bring you pleasure. Imagine when this is our cocks baby girl. We are going to fill you so full that you will feel empty anytime we aren't inside you."

His words had her building closer to the cliffs edge she so wanted to throw herself from. Wanting them both to feel as incredible as she did she waved her hands, vanishing their clothes as her hand sought them out. It was a little difficult with the sea of bodies and limbs but when she found what she was searching for both wizards groaned. There was a popping sound of Antonin releasing her breast before he met her lips in a frenzied kiss as she stroked them each up and down in rhythm that they were fingering her.

"Fuck Malyshka, just like that." Dolly groaned into her mouth. He pulled back to see her flushed face as her eyes were half lidded in lust. "You look so beautiful like this, between us, I bet you want to cum don't you little witch." He asked and she could only nod as her brain was reduced to putty between the two handsome wizards.

"I feel your pretty little cunt tightening on my fingers, I can't wait to feel it fluttering on my cock. You want that too don't you love? Want me inside your tight little cunt while Thor fucks your ass? Or you want me in your mouth while Thor fucks you from behind? I know I do, I dream about it all the time."

She was nodding so close now.

"The three of us." He panted as he too was close and he could feel the magic surging in the room.

"Forever." Thor added from behind her and the dam broke as she was thrown off the edge into the best orgasm she had ever experienced. She saw bright white behind her eyes as her body tightened and convulsed and she heard the matching groans and barely noticed the wetness on her hands and stomach and back.

They collapsed together in a pile of sweaty panting bodies on her bed. Sparks of magic still running through her hair. One of them muttered a cleaning char and they curled into each other falling back asleep.

Remus was used to waking up before anyone in the house. The only exception to that was when Hermione stayed over, and then he would usually meet the little witch in the kitchen for an early tea. Sirius had slept late making up for years spent trapped in nightmares, and Harry slept in till early afternoon due to being a teenage boy as well as to make up for the years his muggle family made him rise early to cook breakfast for them.

Because of this, Remus was used to the silence in the morning as he made his way down the dark hals of Grimmauld place. What he wasn't ready for was to see Sirius' door open and his room empty. A frown pulled on his face Remus stopped and listened using his lupine senses to find his friend. He trudged up a flight of stairs to an unused hall where guest rooms usually sat empty. Hearing small noises in the last room he made his way towards the opening the door and pausing at what he was seeing.

One room that he knew has been previously furnished not sat empty except for one overflowing desk. Sirius stood with his back to the door, papers in hand as he stared at the wall. Said wall was covered in papers and photos and news clippings as it looked he was forming a rough timeline. He even had yarn pulled tight between markings connecting them though Remus had no idea how or why.

"Uh, Pads?" He cleared his throat entering the room fully.

Sirius turned to him and he could tell the man hadn't been to sleep, the bags under his slightly manic eyes tipping him off.

"Moony. Just the wolf I was looking for!" He said far to chipper for the early hour. "I need you to tell me what you know of the Le Fay family." He added with a smile as if this was normal conversation for them.

"You alright Pads?" He questioned worriedly.

Sirius nodded, paused with a perplexed expression before shaking it off and nodding again,

"Yes, I am. Well, I will be at least." He tried reassuring his friend with a half smile. "Just as soon as i can get the information I need. SO!" He clapped his hands. "What do you know about the Le Fays, and try to focus on the more modern details, I don't need a history lesson on Merlin and the lot."

Remus shrugged looking briefly at the wall in front of him, not able to make much sense of it. He tried to focus on Sirius' question. Magical History was always one of his favorite topics. His mother had been muggle born and was absolutely fascinated by it and had spread the love to her son. He enjoyed learning all he could so when he returned home to his mother during school he could share the information with her.

He cleared his throat, about to enter lecture mode.

"Well, is one of the oldest magical lines known that had the ability to trace its descendants, sort of like how the founders can. Of course you know that." He added and Sirius nodded, not impressed.

"I should have said 'it was' though considering they died out during the war, it was a big deal I remember. If I remember correctly they went into hiding during Grundlewalds reign of terror. Apparently he had tried to recruit them, using the whole propaganda that their blood was old and sacred and needed to rule. They obviously refused and before the whole family could flee many were slaughtered. Grindlewald used this to show he was more powerful than others believed. The remaining family fled to Russia, it was a grandmother and son, he married sometime later but both he and his wife died from Dragon Pox I believe, leaving his only heir a baby girl. Now, this is where things get more rumor fueled than actual truth. But the grandmother raised the baby herself. She was never enrolled into any magical school, and no one knows why." He said taking a breath, having gotten excited with the story telling.

Sirius was listening with rapt attention, his hand taking notes on a spare piece of parchment.

"There are theories of course." Remus nodded slightly. "Some believe the baby was born a squib, effectively ending the magical line then and there. It would have been taboo so no one would have mentioned it. However, that's not the one I believe. Her grandmother lived through the terror that was Grindlewald. She would have watched all her family die, having only this baby as a reminder of them. Then tensions are on the rise again, both in the muggle and magical world. I believe like many others, that she hid the girl. Homeschooled her, limited the amount of magic she could learn and did so that she wouldn't be sought out again by men in power to further their gain. All we know for sure is that the paper reported on them being killed in September 1981. They never reported how or why, it was assumed to be death eater related but never proved. Weird thing was they were found in Britain, when they supposedly lived in Russia. It wasn't as big of scandal or news even because the next month James and Lily were killed and Voldemort was gone." He finished sadder at the conclusion.

"1981… September." Sirius muttered under his breath. He grabbed another paper and wrote the date down before using a sticking charm to attach it to his wall.

The sky had stayed a light grey color as snow threatened to fall. The cold day was perfect for one spent in doors wrapped up in a favorite blanket and book as you warmed yourself by the fire. Hermione had intentions to do just that. She was walking the shelves in the library trying to find a book that spoke to her, smiling at the sight of Crookshanks and Nagini curled up together by the roaring fire. Thorfinn had gone back to the reserve for the day to close down his cabin for the break and to take care of anything he had left unfinished when he left with Tully a few nights ago. Antonin had gone to work, reluctantly, but with a promise to see her later that night. Draco and Theo had both been coerced into helping Narcissa finish the planning for the Malfoy New years party that would take place in just a few days. It was a rare experience anymore that she had time completely to herself like this, and she found she enjoyed the calm silence.

She was two cups of tea in and three quarters of her book when she felt a shift of the wards. Pausing she shut the book and looked over to Nagini who must have sensed her energy change. She lifted her head tilting it slightly in question.

"The wards," She explained. "Don't leave this room unless we call." She hissed at the snake and got a sleepy nod in return.

Hermione was reaching for the door knob when it opened and her father poked his head in.

"Did you feel that?" He asked and she nodded with a smile. Obviously she did if he did.

"I was going to check it out now. It doesn't feel like someone is trying to bring them down, just alerting us to their presence."

He agreed and advised her to be careful just in case, she decided the safest choice would be to go in her animagus form so that she wouldn't be spotted as easily. She trudged through the older snow towards the front gate. Nose in the air sniffing out a scent.

"Hello Hermione!" The airy voice rang out from the otherside of the gate. Hermione shifted back and looked on in shock at her visitor.

Luna Lovegood stood there on the other side of the gate looking nothing but cheerful. Her long blonde hair was loose and blowing in the wind despite trying to be held down by a pair of oversized lime green earmuffs. She had on a thick scarf that had to have been homemade that was yellow and brown stripped and a bright blue coat that hung to her knees showing only what she had on yellow tights with her boots. Hermione smiled at the sight thinking Luna could literally be described as a rainbow of colors. She hurried to the gate to let her in.

"Luna!" She greeted happily although surprised. "I wasn't expecting you! How are you please let's get inside and out of this cold!"

The two girls walked side by side into the house while Luna explained that she had just decided that morning to come and visit and she didn't have an owl to send. When Hermione questioned how she found her home and how she appeared at her gates she just laughed merrily and said her father had dropped her off. The man is clearly as trusting as Luna that she would be fine with Hermione.

They got into the house and Tully came to help them out of their coats and gave them each a mug of Hot chocolate. Once warmed and comfortable Hermione turned to Luna.

"Not that I am not pleased to see you Luna, but I am surprised. Was there a more concrete reason than just to visit?" She asked as nicely as she could.

Luna gave her a knowing smile and then surprising Hermione actually blushed.

"I- Well.." She started tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "I actually came to see if you had any news on how Rabastan was doing. I haven't seen anything about him in the paper and I was concerned. He had an intense Nargle infestation, but I have never seen anyone with the amount of wrackspurts he possessed. I can't imagine he has been sleeping well with all of them buzzing around in his head." She bit her lip, and Hermione could see the honest concern in her eyes.

"I didn't know how else to check on him other than coming to you. I know he has to be kept a secret just like your second life, but I still think he needs someone to check in on him."

Hermione smiled at the younger witch. "I agree completely, his brother is with him and tries to help but well, he has been alone and in his own head for so long I think he struggles with recognizing what is and isn't reality." She said pensively. "But! I think it would be a grand idea if we went to check on him. Tully has been baking holiday treats all day and I was going to drop some by later, but we can go together now."

Luna readily agreed and a pleased smile plastered on her face. Hermione had called Tully in asking her to prepare a basket for the two Lestrange men that they could take. She popped out and the girls stood to go get ready to leave. They were about to leave the sitting room when the door opened and Tom walked in. Knowing he had probably overheard most of their conversation and judged enough by her previous description of Luna to see and hear her now, had judged it safe to approach.

He smiled at both of the girls when they turned to him. He was dressed quite relaxed in his slacks and jumper. Having had spent the day like Hermione did.

"Ladies." He greeted them.

"Mr. Riddle," Luna said in her natural chipper tone. "It is nice to finally meet you sir, I have always been curious when Hermione would share her fascinating second life with me." She smiled.

Tom was shocked that not only did the girl know Hermione was hiding a whole other side to herself but also that she addressed him by name and didn't seem the least bit concerned by his presence.

"Yes, well.." He started but was honestly a bit lost for words and Hermione was offering no help as she just shook her head with a small chuckle.

"Oh don't worry sir, I understand the necessity of it all. I dare say Hermione would have been in greater danger had her true identity been revealed. That's the problem with the prettiest flowers, others are always trying to pick them for their own gain without realising it will eventually kill them. I am glad Hermione has been given the opportunity to thrive at your side." Luna explained.

Tom's eyes moved between Hermione and Luna a few times over before staying on the blonde. He reached a hand out to the girl and was pleased she reached for it with no issues. He brought it to his lips and gave her a wide smile.

"I am thankful my Hermione had friends like you Ms. Lovegood. I admit we all owe you our thanks for your actions at the ministry, we appreciate your discretion about the events that unfolded."

Luna let out a light tinkle of laughter while waving him off. "It was nothing. My father and I both know the difference between what is right and what is good." At Hermione's questioning look she elaborated. "My family has always been followers of old magic, we respect the land and its creatures one and all, but we also respect natural order. My Great Grandfather was an avid contestant of Grindelwald, a well known fact, given that he was killed during that time. But a less known fact is he also spoke against Dumbledore on many occasions as well. See he could see him for what he is, and he shared that knowledge with his sons. They sought the deathly hallows, and we believe the three tools should never be reunited again. After all death is but another station on the train that is life."

At the silence in the room Luna looked between the father daughter duo and realized that they were both taken aback by her confession.

"Needless to say the Lovegoods would be proud to stand beside you sir."

"HONEY WE'RE HOME!"

Hermione yelled the words out in the empty sitting room as she and Luna came through the floo into the Lestrange home. She knew she should have owled ahead but Rodolphus never returned that favor for her and she took great pleasure in being able to surprise him for once.

The clicking of shoes hurrying down the hallway had both girls turning towards the sound. Watching as the eldest Lestrange came into the room wearing a shit eating grin.

"I knew it was just a matter of time before I won you over!" He crowed. "And what's this?" He said eyes wide at seeing she wasn't alone. "You brought another pretty witch with you, why will we be the best looking triad this world has ever seen."

Rodolphus crossed the room taking Luna's hand pressing kiss on her knuckles while she giggled at his exuberance. He dropped her hand and moved to Hermione taking her hand but only to pull her into his side where he held her in a dancing position, spinning her once before dramatically dipping her.

"Hello beautiful." He winked playfully at her and she rolled her eyes.

"Roddy let me go you big oaf. Go get Bass, we are all going to have tea."

His smile dropped for a second looking between the two girls with hesitation but then shook it off knowing Hermione wouldn't put his brother in harm's way. He nodded calling for an elf to go fetch his brother and prepare tea for them all.

Rabastan appeared in the tea room cautiously. He had peered through the open doorway first before walking all the way in when he saw the room's occupants. He gave them all a small sheepish smile with a brief nod of his head. His hands dug into his pocket to stop his fidgeting.

"Hello Rabastan." Hermione greeted him softly but cheerfully.

He bowed his head. "Hello Ms. Granger, Ms. Lovegood." He offered a greeting to them both.

Upon hearing him address her Lunas face lit up and she beamed a smile his way. Digging into the pockets of her dress she pulled out a small box and handed it over to him. His brows furrowed at the gesture but at the nodding of Hermiones and Rodolphuses heads he accepted it taking his seat.

"I made this for you, I didn't know if you'd have access to any driggle plums, so I collected one from our garden." Luna explained as he opened the box and pulled out a necklace. "The leather cord is to keep it from attracting nifflers, the plum is for the nargles and the glass it is held in" She pointed at the small jar that held the shrunken plum. "Is made from ocean glass. Wackspurts despise open water and the glass confuses them." She finished proudly.

Rodolphus had given a low hum as if he was intrigued by the gift, while also shooting a glance at Hermione. His eyebrow quirked slightly as if to question the sanity of their guest. Hermione gave him the tiniest of shrugs, knowing not to dispute any claim Luna made. Just because she couldn't see the beasties didn't mean they weren't real. After all, not everyone could see Thestrals and they were very real. The surprising response came from Rabastan himself. The normally quiet man responded in a voice louder than she had ever heard him speak.

"I can't thank you enough for this Ms. Lovegood. I will wear it proudly."

Hermione took a long sip of her tea to keep herself from smiling from ear to ear at the matching blushes on the two faces.

Hermione was sipping on her glass of wine at dinner while she listened to the conversation around her. She felt lighter than normal and knew a lot of it had to be due to her magic finally being settled. A brush of a hand against her thigh had her smiling at the wizard next to her, knowing his reappearance in her life contributed to the bliss she was feeling.

Thorfinn was still away so it was just Antonin who joined them for dinner, if her father was surprised he didn't voice it. He only shook the younger man's hand and welcomed him. Tom wasn't concerned with threatening him off, he knew Hermione was more than capable of looking out for herself. He let his eyes drift around the table at his closest friends and followers. He bit back a smirk seeing all the faces of those who would volunteer to handle the man if Hermione needed them to. No, he would trust Hermione fully on her decisions.

"Are you really, or are you just afraid of what he will say." Draco's voice asked across the table to Hermione. They had discussed her bringing the journal to Sirius. It was decided that he would be the easiest to explain the truth to. And it would be easier to get the others on board if he was already on their side.

She scoffed, "What an awful question to ask a gryffindor!"

She tried raising her head proudly while also sneering at the boy.

"You are not a true gryffindor," Theo cut in. "You are a snake with a mane. And I am not even making fun of your hair."

She reached a hand up to her curls with a frown anyway gaining chuckles about the table when they were interrupted by someone storming in the hall. They looked up in concern as Fenrir quickly made his way over, looking far too distressed for the normally composed predator.

"Scabior is missing." He said instead of a greeting. "His father hasn't seen him in two days. He wouldnt just disappear, not without his son. I'm afraid something bad has happened to him."

Hermione had her hand up to her mask in a gasp. She liked the man, the few times they had been in contact he seemed like a nice bloke, and she adored his son and the love shared between the three new wolves.

"What do you need Fen?" She asked ready to leave with him now.

"I need you to help me find him. This kind of thing has happened before, in the last war. It started just like this. I can't.. I cant lose my pack again." He said, hanging his head.

In a surprising move, considering the room was filled with purebloods, with an exception of her and her father. The majority of the table pushed back their chairs and stood up. The sound and the action shocked Fenrir to startle, staring wide eyed at the group.

"So," Antonin said, breaking the silence.

"Where do we start?" Draco smirked.
