A Curse of Ancients
C28: First Stages
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
A/N: So, this might seem like it's a week early, but I'll be very honest and say that for the next eight weeks, so until August 16th, there will be a chapter a week for both my active stories. The reason for this is besides the fact I'm nearing the end of both of them, it's also going to be my six year anniversary of writing, and I really need a little bit of a break from writing altogether. So I want everyone to know, that when these active stories are finished, there will be a period of at least two months of no uploads. I'll be back around November with new stories, because there are a few tings I still want to write, like the sequel to my Star Wars series, which is a work in progress at the moment and will probably be the focus when I start uploading again. For now, I hope you enjoy and I'll see you all next week for the next one.-
A few days later Fabian and Hermione were in the library, working on some preliminary ideas for their plan on ending this conflict in their favor. Before they would go back to school they wanted to have at least some things on paper and so far they hadn't gotten much farther than somehow involving Gaia and Aithusa, knowing full well that they had a huge advantage in the two dragons.
They also knew that a lot would hinge on the fact if Voldemort would actually manage to 'kill' Harry and if Harry would rise to the bait. "Too much is left to chance 'Mione. We can't even start planning before we have more information."
She nodded at that. "I know, but until we get word from Draco, we're stuck, but I think we can make a start on hypothetical scenarios."
He nodded at that. "We could, but we both know that no matter what we plan, the eventual outcome will be the one thing that we didn't plan for. It has been the case every year so far."
"I know, but this has so many implications and thus we can't afford to make mistakes or leave anything to chance because it will have an effect on everyone." She said softly.
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her softly. "I know love, but I think where we are going wrong is that we are still trying to do this alone after everything. Our family will be more than happy to help us, and I think my Mom will have plenty of ideas to help us come up with a viable plan."
Hermione smiled and relaxed again him. "I know, but you know as well as I that it is hard to let go of things that we've done for so long."
He smiled and kissed her softly, relishing the feel of her lips against his own again after having to share their love with most other women in the house. "I've missed it being just us baby."
She smiled at that. "So have I, don't get me wrong, I love everything we share with our family, but it has seriously cut into our alone time."
"How about we take a day away from everything, just the two of us and maybe Gaia? We can take her to your mansion and start work there. It will be just the distraction we need." He asked softly.
"You know love, that sounds like a great idea, especially if we want to live there at some point." Hermione said with a soft smile.
He smiled at that. "That was my thoughts as well love. I think a change of scenery will be good for everyone once everything is over, and I think everyone will settle better at the mansion than they will at the Castle."
Hermione nodded at that. "I know they will, mother has told me that the Castle was a necessity in her day, but that she only could be herself at her mansion, we can easily find a use for the Castle once we have time to think again."
"Then I think we should find our daughter and see if she's up for a day with her parents." He said with a soft smile.
The brunette nodded and kissed her fiancee softly. "There is one thing I want to do at the Castle though. I would love it if we could get married there."
He nodded and kissed her. "What a coincidence, I would love that as well. I think mother will also be ecstatic that we have already settled on a location, and such a beautiful one at that, not to mention it has tons of potential for our wedding to truly become the wedding of the century."
"I suppose that should settle Cissa a little. She's been a bit insufferable with all these wedding questions." She said softly as they stood and made their way out of the library.
"I know, but she wants to make sure that our wedding will be a memorable event, once she has an idea to paper, she'll become her old self again." He said softly.
Hermione smiled at that. "I know, and honestly I love that we don't have to worry about our wedding as much, I don't think either of us could've kept our sanity if we had to worry about that too."
He nodded and kissed her softly as they made their way to their room, where they had left Gaia this morning.
To their surprise the green dragon was still napping on her perch next to their bed, crooning softly as Hermione ran a finger over the dragon's spine. "Hey sweetie, do you want to come with us to the Mansion today?"
Gaia cracked a toothy yawn and nodded. "I would love to Mommy."
Hermione smiled at her as Gaia stretched her wings and flew up to Fabian's shoulder, wrapping her tail around his arm as she nuzzled his neck with her snout.
He smiled and scratched the ridge above her eye, getting another contrite croon from their familiar as they apparated to the Mansion grounds.
…
After recollecting themselves, Gaia flew down from Fabian's shoulders and stretched her wings. "Is it okay if I went for a flight. It's been a while since I was able to stretch my wings."
They smiled at her. "Of course sweetie, you don't have to ask. We want you to have fun today. We'll be inside if you need us okay?"
Gaia smiled and nodded before flying off, keeping mostly below the treeline as she dipped and glided through the air.
Fabian and Hermione took a moment to admire their dragon in her element. "She's so gorgeous when she's having fun." Hermione said softly.
He smiled and nodded. "There is something special about seeing her so relaxed. She's always beautiful, but every time I see her fly I feel honored to be her father. There is something otherworldly about seeing her in her element."
Hermione smiled and kissed him. "Out of everything you have given me over the past years, I can honestly say that Gaia is one of the best gifts. I love her so much."
"So do I, my love, I love you both so much, and I can't wait to end this conflict and start our lives together." He said softly.
Hermione smiled and kissed him softly as they walked inside, a bit surprised to see everything in such a good condition. "I think mother already did our work for us. I can feel her magic everywhere."
He smiled at that. "Not only hers though. I can also feel my mother's magic. I think Morgana and Narcissa anticipated this, it doesn't matter though, we can have tons of fun today."
Hermione smiled at that. "I agree, let's go explore a bit and then just sit in the garden where we can watch our daughter have fun."
He nodded and kissed her softly as they strolled through the mansion leisurely, and it seemed that their earlier observations were right. The entire mansion had been decorated, cleaned and updated, but also held its original charm, which was something they were glad about, because as much as this resembled Black Manor, Morgana's hand was obvious in every part of the house, right up to the ritual altar they found in one of the basement rooms.
"You know love, it occurred to me that with everything we have done, there is still one thing Fleur has done with you that I have never done, and I really want to rectify that today." Hermione said with a soft smile.
He smiled at that. "Is this about your wish to have sex outside baby?"
She nodded at that. "It is, and since I would like to keep Cissa on my side, I think this is our best bet."
"Yeah, mother would find a very fitting punishment if we defiled her garden in that manner, so if you really want this, I am more than okay with this." He said softly.
She grinned and kissed him softly as they made their way back outside, finding a spot where they could see Gaia have fun and could have some fun themselves.
Hermione then conjured up a large blanket for them, lying down with a sultry smile as she vanished her clothes. "Come and get me love." She said huskily.
He grinned and vanished his own clothes as he stalked up to her. "So you want something special today?"
She nodded and moaned as he kissed her deeply, wrapping her arms around his neck as they laid down. "Of course I do, this will be one of the few chances we get to do this and I intend to make full use of this opportunity." She said as she flipped them and pushed him to his back, straddling him with a smile.
He smiled at her. "So you want to ride me? Then ride me baby." He said softly.
She smiled and teased his cock against her entrance. "I will baby, but I really want to tease you a little. It's been a while since we took our time with our lovemaking."
He smiled and nodded as he let his hands roam over her body, teasing her stiff nipples a little before she slowly lowered herself onto his cock, and he just couldn't resist pulling her down for a kiss as she started riding him.
They quickly lost themselves in each other, neither of them noticing that Gaia had landed close by and had laid herself down next to them, in her human form without the usual emerald colored dress, so she was completely naked as she observed her parents make love to each other.
Even though she and Aithusa hadn't been 'intimate' yet, mostly because intimacy between dragons was a bit of a foreign concept, she couldn't help but get excited seeing her parents be so close and in love. She could literally see the love charging the air, and she just couldn't help sliding a hand between her legs.
"Enjoying yourself sweetie?" Hermione asked with a knowing smile.
Gaia nodded and blushed a little. "Yes Mommy, it's such a privilege to be witness to this. I can literally see the love between you charging the air."
Hermione smiled and motioned her closer. "Do you want us to help you a little, my sweet? I can feel that this is a little new to you."
Gaia nodded and smiled as Hermione kissed her softly, gently squeezing her familiar's breasts. "It feels so good Mommy, is this how you always feel?"
Hermione nodded at her. "I'll admit that this is a bit of a special situation where everything is a bit amplified, but yes, this how it usually feels."
"Do you think Daddy will mind if I joined in. I feel so hot Mommy." Gaia said with a soft moan.
"Of course I don't mind, sweetness. We knew this was going to happen at some point, so why don't you park that sweet little butt over my face and I will bring you to heaven." He said with a loving smile.
Gaia smiled and kissed him softly before doing exactly that, moaning loudly as Fabian started eating her out, but her moan was stifled as Hermione kissed her deeply. "Just relax and enjoy yourself sweetie, the sensations will settle themselves soon." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Gaia smiled at her mother. "I know Mommy, but I've been waiting a long time for this and I want to enjoy this to the fullest."
Hermione smiled at their daughter. "Do you want the full experience, my sweet?"
"I'm not ready to go that far Mommy. Daddy is too big for me to truly enjoy it." She said with a soft moan.
Hermione smiled at her. "That's okay sweetie, I think Daddy knows how big he is. We can do that when you are ready."
Gaia nodded and tensed for a moment before screaming out her orgasm, while Fabian tried desperately to keep her thighs from crushing his head, and therefor couldn't control himself as he came deep inside Hermione.
The brunette moaned out her own orgasm not soon after, the two girls rolling off him and cuddling up next to him. "That was sudden baby. Were you that engrossed in pleasuring our daughter?"
He smiled and kissed her. "That and the fact that I had to keep our sweetling from crushing my head between those lithe but still very powerful thighs."
"Sorry Daddy. I hope I didn't hurt you." Gaia said softly.
He smiled and kissed her. "You didn't sweetheart, it was unexpected, but I'm honored to get that reaction from you."
She smiled and cuddled into him. "You have a very talented tongue Daddy, I couldn't control my reactions."
Both Fabian and Hermione smiled at her. "I've been told that before, but thank you sweetie. It means a lot that I can pleasure you too." He said with a soft smile.
Gaia just smiled and crawled over him to cuddle up between them, the three just basking in the atmosphere they had created.
…
When they appeared in their bedroom back at Black Manor a couple of hours later, Gaia kissed them both softly. "Thank you for today. I loved everything we did today, but I have to go find Aithusa, I can feel she needs me."
They smiled and nodded as Gaia skipped out of their room to find her mate. "So love, what are we going to do with the rest of the day?" Hermione asked softly.
"I was thinking of paying a visit to Gabrielle and see how she is settling in. Would you like to come with me?" He asked with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at him but shook her head. "I think she will react better to just you being there love. I'll go and see what mother is up to."
He smiled and kissed her softly. "Then I guess I will see you at dinner, baby."
"That you will stud, and if it comes to it, go easy on your sister. She is quite new to all of this." She said with a wink.
He just smiled and gave her butt a healthy spank as she walked out of the room, the brunette shooting him a playful glare.
He just smiled at her and made his way to Gabrielle's room a bit further down the hall. He could hear soft giggles coming through the door and recognized Fleur's silken voice and Dora's bawdy song, the same one she used to sing to cheer him up.
He couldn't help but smile at that as he knocked softly. "Who is it?"
"It's me Dora. Can I come in?" He asked loud enough to be heard.
There was a bit of shuffling before the door opened, revealing a grinned Nymphadora and a bit more subdued smile from Fleur. "We were having a bit of a girl's day, but sure."
He smiled and stepped inside, seeing that Fleur and Gabrielle were both still in their nightgowns, and now taking a good look at Dora, he saw that she was only wearing panties. "I feel a bit overdressed, but I was coming to see how Gabrielle was settling in." He said with a smile.
Gabrielle smiled at him. "Feel free to join us in our state of dress Fabian, but I'm okay, it's all a bit new, but I'm getting used to it."
He smiled at that. "That's good to hear, I was a bit worried it might have gone a bit too quickly."
She smiled and patted the spot next to her, clearly intending to monopolize her new brother. "It has gone a bit quick, but Fleur and Dora have been helping me adjust."
He smiled as he sat down next to her, Gabrielle promptly sitting down in his lap. "I have to say that you surprise me Fabian, usually you would be a lot more willing to take your clothes off." Fleur said with a smile.
"If you really want me to bare it all again, I gladly will, but I will not be held responsible for the repercussions." He said as he flicked his hand to send his clothes to a chair.
Gabrielle squeaked adorable as she felt his dick press against her butt. "It feels so thick, and I haven't even seen it."
He smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her waist, while Fleur took off her nightgown and Dora stepped out of her panties. "You wanted to do this today Gabby, and we told you that we weren't lying. Why don't you take a closer look." Fleur said with a sultry smile to her sister.
She blushed and crawled off his lap. "So that what this is about. It seems I came to check just in time."
The two women nodded at him. "You have, Gabby has been frustrated all day, and I knew what it was the moment I saw the look in her eyes." Dora said with a soft smile.
He smiled and turned to Gabrielle, whose gaze was zeroed in on his dick. "Mon Dieu, it's massive. How is that ever going to fit inside of me? I'm only little."
Fleur smiled at her sister. "Don't worry ma petite, he is a very considerate and cautious lover, he won't hurt you on purpose. But since he will be taking your cherry, it will hurt a little."
"I know, but I never expected him to be so big. Will you two stay?" Gabrielle asked softly.
Fleur and Dora nodded and smiled at her. "Of course Gabrielle. If you want us to be here, we will." Nymphadora said with a soft smile.
Gabrielle smiled at that. "I want to, because the last time I saw his penis it was not as big, and I am a little bit nervous about seeing it so up close."
"When did you see his penis Gabrielle? I don't remember you being anywhere near us when Fabian and I made love at Hogwarts." Fleur said with a quirked eyebrow.
"I saw it when you decided it was a good idea to give him a blowjob against the Carriage right beneath my window, although it was less of a blowjob and more of you trying your best to devour his cock with the way you were sucking it." She said teasingly.
Now Fleur blushed at that as Fabian redirected Gabrielle's attention back to him, while Dora dealt with her blushing wife. "We can do whatever you feel comfortable with Gabrielle. The Curse can be sated in many ways." He said softly.
She smiled at him. "I'm ready for you Fabian, it is high time I lose my virginity to a real man."
"You make it sound like someone tried to force you into something Gabrielle. Did that happen?" He asked softly.
She bit her lip and nodded. "Ronald tried when Fleur and Bill were still together, said that no one would be with me anyway because I would never be as beautiful as Fleur."
He took a deep breath for replying. "It's okay Gabby, we'll make him pay, because I will not let this slide anymore. He tried to attack us before, but now I've had enough. We will end him when we get the chance. You are beautiful inside and out." He said softly before kissing her.
Gabrielle blushed and wrapped her arms around his neck as she pressed herself to his body. "I know, I have long since shed my doubts over my looks. I know I am no Fleur, but I will be beautiful in my own right, I still have a few years to mature."
He smiled at her as he carried her to the bed. "I should've known you were as confident about your sister. Now how do you want to be deflowered?"
"First I want to taste you. I've been wondering about that for a very long time, and my curiosity just needs to be sated." She said as she pushed him to his back and licked her lips.
She then sank to her knees and sucked the head into her mouth, getting her first taste of his dick and she just couldn't resist nursing the head a little, like her sister had taught her."
"I can see you've had some tips from your sister, Gabrielle." He said with a soft smile.
She smiled at him. "I knew I had to get a bit of experience in, so that's why I asked Fleur and Dora to help me a little. I don't want to go into this a complete virgin after all."
He smiled and pulled her up for a kiss. "We can take this at any rate you are comfortable with Gabrielle. The last thing I want to do is make you uncomfortable."
She smiled at him. "I'm okay Fabian, I would like to be on top for our first time though, it'll make it easier."
"That's okay, but I can't in good conscience let you take my dick raw, so just lie back and enjoy." He said softly.
She blushed and relaxed against the mattress while Fleur and Dora crawled onto the bed with them. "You'll love this Gabby, Fabian is unparalleled in his pussy eating skills." Fleur said with a loving smile.
Gabrielle smiled at her sister. "I have no doubt about that, given how animatedly you have talked about all the time you spent with my brother."
Fleur smiled and gave her sister a soft kiss, the petite blonde moaning loudly as Fabian started eating her out, paying special attention to the blonde's movements and what made her moan the loudest. She also was incredibly wet and her juices were as sweet as he had imagined. "You taste amazing Gabrielle. I can foresee a lot of fun in the future." He said with a loving smile.
She smiled and spread her legs a bit more. "Please Fabian, I'm burning for you, please fuck me."
He nodded and kissed her. "Whatever you wish, sister." He said softly as he lined up his cock with her soaking entrance as Fleur and Nymphadora positioned themselves behind him.
"Be gentle with my sister Fabian, I can't promise my Veela will react well to seeing her in pain." Fleur said softly.
He nodded at her. "I'll be as gentle as possible Fleur, I doubt Gabrielle's kink will already reveal itself today."
Fleur smiled at that. "Oh I think it will. She is half Veela after all. Don't forget you got another willing slave the first time we made love here at home, and I have a feeling that I know what my sister's kink will be. I think she likes to watch, don't you ma petite?"
Gabrielle nodded at her sister. "Yes, I do, but I need to feel him inside of me today."
Fabian smiled at her as he slowly slid his cock into her, groaning softly from the tightness.
Gabrielle moaned in pain as he shredded her hymen and took her virginity, but she wasn't prepared for the sudden void she felt as Fleur had pushed him away from her and cradled her protectively in her arms. "Please Fleur, I'm okay, I need this."
Fleur looked at her sister with amber eyes, which slowly returned to blue. "I'm sorry ma petite. I hadn't expected such a reaction." She said softly before turning to Fabian, who merely had a smile on his face.
"It's okay Fleur, we can make up for this the next time you need me to fill you." He said as he once again slid his cock into Gabrielle.
Now Gabrielle moaned in pleasure as Fabian started to slowly pump into her. "Now I know why you love this so much Fleur, it feels amazing."
Fleur smiled and pressed soft kisses to her sister's neck. "I must say you are taking it like a champ, ma petite. Does it hurt still?"
She shook her head and smiled as she pulled Fleur down into a kiss. "Non, it feels better than anything I've ever felt. I can't wait for the full experience."
Fleur smiled and teased her sister's nipples. "Soon, ma petite. Just enjoy yourself today, and next time I'll let you watch as Fabian dominates me."
Gabrielle smiled and moaned loudly as she tried to meet her hips with his thrusts, which were coming in quicker succession now that he had found a rhythm. "I can see you are enjoying yourself Gabrielle. Is it everything you hoped for?" He asked with a smile.
The petite blonde nodded and smiled at him as she moaned out her first orgasm of the day, and Fabian on his turn had to stop for a moment as she clenched around his cock.
"You're close already, aren't you Fabe?" Dora asked softly.
He nodded and kissed her. "Of course I am Dora. If you would have such a tight pussy around your cock you would be close too, but I think you'll have that privilege at some point in the coming weeks."
She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder as he pulled out of her and shot several ropes of cum across the petite blonde's body.
Fleur and Nymphadora wasted little time in licking off his cum and Fleur made sure to share it with her sister, the petite blonde moaning softly as she tasted it. "I must say, you do not disappoint, Fabian." Gabrielle said with a dreamy smile.
He smiled at her. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Gabrielle. I hope I didn't hurt you too much."
She shook her head and smiled at him. "No, it didn't hurt beyond you breaking my hymen."
He smiled and kissed her softly before relaxing back against Dora, who wrapped her arms around his waist. "That's good to hear, and next time we'll see how we can satiate the Curse with you watching."
Gabrielle smiled at that. "Thank you Fabian, I'm honestly very curious how everyone else experiences the Curse."
"I know where you're going, but I'm afraid we can't let you watch with everyone. The Curse manifests itself in everyone differently and it is very personal with most of us." He said with a soft smile.
"I wasn't suggesting that, I am merely curious, so if it's okay I would like to ask everyone about their experiences." Gabrielle said with a gentle smile.
He smiled at that. "That is more than okay. Hermione did the same thing and I think that everyone will be very open to make sure you have as full a picture as possible."
Gabrielle smiled and leaned against her sister, still floating on the cloud of happiness that she had found herself on.
…
A few days later Draco Floo'ed into the living room, looking a bit frazzled, which surprised everyone a little. "Good morning sweetheart. What has gotten your feathers ruffled?" Narcissa asked with a soft smile.
Draco smiled and went to hug his mother. "Good morning mother. I have come with news. Apparently the Dark Lord was so happy with the progress I've made thanks to Fabian and Hermione, that he wants to push his plans forward. He now intends to invade the Ministry and Hogwarts within the month."
Hermione smiled at him. "We expected that to be honest, and we'll be ready. Do you happen to know if there is any news of Dumbledore."
Draco nodded at that. "He plans to end Dumbledore before he invades Hogwarts, so that will also happen within the month. Snape said that the Order won't be ready but that Dumbledore will use Weasley and Brown to try and oppose you and Fabian, because he seriously believes that you won't have support."
They all nodded at that. "That's fair. Does he know you are here?"
Draco nodded at them. "He sent me here personally to inform you of his plans, actually. He also asked me to inform you that his Horcruxes have been destroyed, so he will keep his word on that end." Draco said with a smile.
Fabian smiled at that. "That's one thing at least, because we already know Potter won't, and we'll deal with both Potter and the Weasel when the time comes, because I am sure Ron will make an appearance when the for the final confrontation comes."
Draco smiled at that. "Slytherin at large is behind you and Hermione. We're all ready to be done with this."
"So are we, and we will have peace before the end of the school year. Do you happen to know how he is going to handle the Ministry?" Hermione asked with a smile.
Draco nodded at her. "He plans to lead that raid himself and let me father lead the raid at Hogwarts. Once he receives word that the wards are down, he will come to Hogwarts and leave the Ministry in the hands of Kingsley Shacklebolt, who he sees as the only favorable replacement for Scrimgour. Kingsley is aware of this and has agreed to take over until a permanent replacement has been elected, which you and Fabian will be asked to help with. Once at Hogwarts he will put the challenge to Potter and from there it will be anyone's guess on what will happen, although I think it will be a battle none the less, knowing that the majority of Gryffindor will fight anyway."
They nodded and smiled at that. "That's good news. It will be easier to just consult than to be asked to overhaul the system ourselves. I trust Kingsley will abide by our wishes, and as far as Hogwarts is concerned, we will go and talk to Minerva when the term starts up again, and since we will be free to plan, we'll let you know what our side of the plan is as soon as we have come up with something. Can we ask you to continue to act as our contact to the Dark Lord?" Hermione asked kindly.
He nodded and smiled at her. "Of course. Ever since you helped finish the Cabinet, I've felt that the weight that was resting on my shoulders has fallen off. I will happily be a liaison for you two to the Dark Lord."
"We'll ask Luna or Ginny to discreetly get you a message if we need to meet, because we can't be seen at school until it is time for us to close the trap on Potter, and if you just want to come and see us, we'll always be available in our room, just remember to knock." Fabian said with a smile.
"And may I add that I would like that as well Draco, I've missed you and I've been worrying sick about you." Narcissa said sweetly.
Draco smiled at her. "I promise that everything is fine mother. Father has tried to keep me out of everything and made sure I only had the task of repairing the Cabinet at Hogwarts. The only reason that was so stressful is because I didn't know where to start with repairs. I'm fine, I promise."
Narcissa smiled and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "I know your father has tried that sweetheart, but a mother worries about her firstborn. Come I want you to meet someone." She said softly as she led him to where Lily was sitting, so the blonde could meet his step-mother.
