The Power of Four: A Coven's Tale
C17: The Umbitch Decrees
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
A week later Hermione, Fabian and Luna were walking Harry, Ginny and Gabrielle back to the Gryffindor Dormitories after dinner when they saw a gathering of people in the Entrance Hall, where Filch was hanging a framed piece of parchment. Umbridge smiling brightly next to him, her eyes never leaving Harry.
Educational Decree Number Twenty Three: Dolores Umbridge has been named High Inquisitor Of Hogwarts by the Minister of Magic.
Fabian, Hermione and Luna shared one look with each other and thought exactly the same. 'Fuck' but clearly couldn't state that at the moment.
As they continued to walk towards the Gryffindor Dorms, the worry on Harry's face only grew, and Fabian could feel the flux in his emotions. "Are you okay Harry?"
"Of course I am not okay. Who knows what things that bitch is going to fuck up now." He said softly.
"A lot, that is one thing we can be certain of, but we can do plenty to work against her." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Harry nodded at that. "I suppose, but it's only a month until the Christmas Holidays, will it have much use to actually start recruiting people for those lessons? We would do better to start in the new year and know who we can actually trust."
Fabian and Luna smiled at that. "We agree, the Room isn't going anywhere and will suit itself to our needs anyway."
Harry nodded and smiled at that. "I can take that time to actually think of a lesson plan. I don't have a clue on what to do."
Hermione smiled at that. "We'll work on that in the weeks leading up to the holidays, but I do hope you'll have a good thought about inviting Ron."
Harry smiled at her, looking at the redhead over Hermione's shoulder. "I'm already thinking of leaving him out of it. He has become downright nasty ever since Ginny and Gabrielle got together, saying it is unnatural for two women to be together."
Hermione glared at that. "Did he now, I've got half a mind to give him a piece of my mind."
Fabian smiled at his sister. "Do you think that is wise at this point, sis? He might go blabbing to Umbridge if he feels scorned."
Hermione sighed and took a deep breath to calm her mind. "You're right of course, but if he says something to me, or Merlin forbid, hits on me, I will not hold back and give him the truth of my sexual preference."
"Now I hope he tries something during meal times, when the entire Great Hall will bare witness to him humiliation." Luna said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at the eccentric blonde. "Have you seen anything Luna?"
She shook her head and smiled. "No, I haven't, but call it a gut feeling. Ron is predictable like that."
Hermione smiled and nodded. "That he is, and since he always finds a reason to blow his top, I am sure this will be no different."
They all shared a laugh at that as they continued their way to the Gryffindor Dorms, when Harry held Fabian back a bit as Hermione and Luna happily chatted. "Fabe, I can confide in you right?"
Fabian smiled and nodded, seeing that Harry was nervous about something. "Of course Harry."
Harry took a deep breath before he started. "There is someone I like, but I don't know if he feels the same, and since you know him better than anyone, I was hoping you could make some discreet inquiries."
"It's Draco isn't it?" Fabian asked softly.
Harry blushed and nodded at that. "We've always been such good friends, but ever since I discovered I was gay, I see him in a new light."
Fabian smiled at that. "I'll see what I can do, Harry, but as far as I know, Draco isn't gay."
"I know, but, the Muggles have a saying. You miss one hundred percent of the shots you do not take." Harry said softly.
"That is of course true. I'll see what I can find on my dear brother." Fabian said with a smile.
Harry smiled at that. "Thank you Fabian. That means a lot to me."
"You've been through enough in your life, Harry. You deserve every scrap of happiness we can give you." Fabian said with a soft smile.
Harry smiled at that. "I'll truly be happy if we can get rid of that bitch and Tom, and of course if I can ever get away from the Dursley's."
"We'll see what we can do about that. There must be something that we can do once we have made sure that Sirius has not been under Dumbledore's influence, and if he is, we'll make sure to cleanse it during the holidays. Once that bitch is gone we can work on confronting Dumbledore." Fabian said softly.
Harry nodded as they reached the portrait of the Fat Lady. "I can't wait. There are a few things I would like to say to him."
"That's understandable, we'll see you guys tomorrow, and if you need us, you know where to find us." Fabian said with a smile.
Hermione smiled at that. "We'll have rounds to do first though, since Parvati asked me to trade with her so she can spend some time with her sister."
"I remember 'Mione. Padma told me during dinner, and in favor of us not getting chewed out by the Umbitch, we should get going."
Hermione smiled and nodded as he kissed Luna softly. "We'll be back in about an hour, my love."
Luna smiled at him. "We'll be waiting love, and perhaps we'll have a special surprise for you when you get back."
He blushed a little. "I can't wait for that love. I'll see you girls in a bit."
She smiled and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, making her way to their room as Fabian and Hermione went to do their rounds.
…
"So Fabe, our first rounds together. It seems we are really destined to always be paired together except for a relationship." Hermione said with a smile.
He smiled at that. "Indeed it does, can't say I mind though. Ever since it has been revealed that we are siblings, I have felt an even stronger connection between us."
She smiled and nodded at that. "I have felt the same, the problem is that I don't know how to act as a pureblood. I don't really have that many examples to draw from besides Bella and Luna. I just want to make our family proud."
He smiled at her. "Don't worry about that too much 'Mione. There is not much difference between a pureblood and a Muggleborn. Especially Sirius will not have much expectations once we have made sure that he is not under compulsion charms and he has procured your original birth certificate, or if we are lucky, your mother and my mothers will have already secured that, but if you really want to learn the ways of a pureblood heir in our family, you should talk to my Mom. She was always the proper one of the three sisters. I still have nightmares about her etiquette lessons sometimes, and especially her New Year's ball is something I have always dreaded, but I think that will be something you will find out for yourself pretty soon."
Hermione smiled at that. "Honestly, I can't wait to spend my first Christmas with my true family. I want to learn what it means to be a Black. You know I have never really felt at home with the Grangers, and in hindsight I should have known something more was going on, but to know that I am a part of one of the most ancient Houses in Magical Britain is still a bit much to take in, although Dora has wonderful ways of helping me compartmentalize things."
He smiled at that. "I'm sure she does. I know Dora's reputation with women, but I have never seen her as passionate as I have seen her with you."
"Passionate is the right word, I'd say. She has taught me so much about being in a relationship with a woman that I sometimes wonder how deep her own experiences go. She doesn't really talk about her past relationships because she wants to focus on us." Hermione said with an almost dreamy smile.
Fabian laughed lightly at that. "Dora didn't really do relationships before she met you. She was more the type for one night stands, most of which stems from her Metamorphmagus abilities. Dora and I have talked a lot about this subject ever since I hit puberty, and she along with Bellatrix taught me everything I needed to know about loving a woman and how to be a good boyfriend and husband. I'll let you guess who taught me what."
Hermione smiled at that. "Dora has actually told me about that, and I have to say that I couldn't sit through that without blushing, much like I did when Fleur told me to follow my heart and that it would never lead me astray."
"Fleur told me the same thing when we first met and I would like to think that it worked out pretty well for both of us." Fabian said with a smile.
Hermione smiled and hugged him. "That it has, but I do have a confession to make. When I asked Fleur about becoming more intimate with Dora, she told me about how she developed those urges for you. She told me how nervous she was the first time you two made love, and that because of the size of your penis she was a little scared too, but after that first time she would never want anything else ever again. What I am trying to say is that she told me how big you are, and I just wanted you to know that I know." She said with a slight blush.
He smiled at that. "I figured as much, and I don't mind as much when it's you. You're my sister and there isn't any reason there should be any shame between us. We might not have grown up together, but I have always felt very comfortable with you."
Hermione smiled at that. "I have felt the same, but if you're okay with it, I know of a perfect way to permanently erase any shame between us."
"I don't know if our lovers would be so happy with that 'Mione. Fleur especially might react a bit extreme." He said softly.
"I'm not talking about sex Fabe, I love you like a brother but that would be a step too far. I don't want to hurt Dora, and I know you don't want to hurt your mates either. What I am trying to say is that we should catch up on one of the inevitable sibling moments of seeing each other naked, and nothing else beyond that." Hermione said with a blush.
He smiled at that. "I think that might be a good idea once we are back in the safety of our room. That way we can show our lovers that we are serious, and perhaps can get them to join in, that way there can never be any shame between any of us. It think it will make both Fleur and Dora feel a bit better about this."
Hermione smiled at that. "We'll ask them when we get back, all I ask is that you try and contain yourself a little, I know that you have very low willpower where your mates are concerned."
"I will Hermione. The girls and I have agreed to keep all amorous activities confined to our bedroom since Luna and I got a little bit sidetracked on our quest for the Room." He said with a smile.
"I figured that was why you two took so long. What did you even do there?" Hermione asked intrigued.
He smiled at her. "Are you sure you want to know the answer to that?"
"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't curious. The fact that I love Dora doesn't mean that I am not interested in things other couples do, it might give me some inspiration for things to try with Dora." Hermione said with a smile.
Fabian smiled and cast some privacy charms over them, because he didn't want Umbridge or Filch to hear what they were about to discuss. "Fine, but I will not be held responsible for any emotional scarring that you might receive here."
Hermione smiled at him. "I think I will live, brother."
He smiled and hooked his arm with hers. "I'm sure you will, I just wanted to warn you up front. Luna and I recreated our first time, the way we had always envisioned it. Very loving and in the backdrop of her room at the Rookery."
"That was not even half as sexually charged as I envisioned it to be, although it makes sense given how long Luna and you have danced around each other. Even I could see that you two meant more to each other than you let everyone think, even when you got together with Fleur there was this underlying sexual tension between the two of you." Hermione said with a soft smile.
He smiled at that. "I have always loved Luna in one form or another. It started out as a sibling love, but it turned to something more once we both hit puberty. I didn't want to admit it to anyone, not even to the people I was closest to like Bellatrix and Dora. Only when I got together with Fleur and learned of our Coven, I dared to admit that I really loved her romantically."
Hermione smiled at him. You're too sweet sometimes Fabian, and while we are making confessions, I will make one too. Before you got together with Fleur, I had an enormous crush on you, and would often have dreams that showed us together."
He smiled at her. "I knew, you were quite obvious about the way you used to stare at me, and for a time I had similar feelings for you and I think in another world we would have been an amazing couple, but honestly, I am glad you are my sister."
She smiled and hugged him. "I'm glad you are my brother too Fabian, and I'll be honest and say that I would rather have it be you than Draco."
He smiled at that. "Draco was asked by my mother to portray a certain image at school because she is preparing him to become the Malfoy heir. At this moment my Mum is the Malfoy heir, but once he becomes of age, Draco will take that mantle, but once you get to know him in a bit more private setting, Draco and I are really not that much different."
"I know, and I wasn't even talking about that, but more appearance like. We are much more alike in appearance than Draco and I." She said with a smile.
He smiled and nodded. "That is most definitely true, although I don't really get why your hair is so curly. I can't remember your Mum ever having curly hair."
She smiled at that. "Well, I started curling my hair when I came to school, it is actually as straight as yours. I just figured it would add a little bit of style to my bland appearance in first year, but I think when we come back after Christmas break, I will come back as a new woman, as a Black, never again a Granger."
He smiled and hugged her. "I'm amazed at the ease you seem to accept everything 'Mione."
"It hasn't been easy, but the way your family accepted me as Dora's girlfriend, while I was still a Muggleborn, has made it tons easier for me to accept my new life." She said with a soft smile.
Fabian smiled and a quick look at his watch showed him that their rounds were done. "Let's talk some more about this in our room, we'll have to get to the dungeons, otherwise Draco will nag me to death during Christmas."
Hermione smiled and nodded as they made their way to the Slytherin Dungeons, where Draco and Pansy were waiting for them. "Hey Fabe. I thought you had rounds with Padma tonight."
"Hermione and Padma switched. We had some things to talk about, and Padma didn't mind since she got to do rounds with her sister." Fabian said with a smile.
Draco nodded and smiled at him. "That makes sense. Is there something we should know for our rounds?"
"Everything was quiet. I think most people are afraid of crossing Umbridge after today." Hermione said with a smile.
Draco and Pansy nodded as they started their own rounds, while Fabian and Hermione made their way back to their room.
…
When the siblings walked into their shared room, they had to smile at the sight. Bellatrix was reading a book curled up in the loveseat, while Luna and Fleur were asleep on the couch. Nymphadora was leafing through a magazine at the kitchen table and was nodding along with the soft tunes that came from the Wireless.
"How domestic. It's almost as if our lovers were waiting for us to come home., wouldn't you agree, brother?" Hermione asked with a smile.
Fabian smiled and nodded as the two women who were awake perked up at the sound of the brunette's voice. "Hey you two. How were the rounds?" Bellatrix asked with a smile.
"Uneventful, it seems people are afraid to step out of bounds now that the Umbitch has been named High Inquisitor." Fabian said as he gave his lover a kiss.
Bellatrix smiled and deepened the kiss for just a moment, having felt a bit deprived after an entire day without him.
Fabian merely smiled into the kiss and allowed his lover to set the pace, smiling her when she broke it. "Someone has missed me today."
"Of course I have. At least you get to see Fleur at some point during class, and you have Luna by your side all day. Of course I will feel a bit deprived at the end of the day." Bellatrix said with a slight pout.
He smiled and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry love, soon enough you'll be able to at least leave the room. I know you must feel incredibly cooped up in here."
"While Dora is an excellent roommate and always fun to talk to, I am a bit lonely sometimes without your three by my side." Bellatrix said with a soft smile as the two blondes on the couch woke up.
Fabian smiled and kissed her softly as Fleur and Luna joined them, quickly wrapping their arms around their raven haired lover. "We'll make it up to you come Christmas break, when we don't have any pressing engagements and can spend entire days by your side, and of course on weekends." Luna said with a dreamy smile.
Bellatrix smiled and kissed all three of them softly, but said nothing as she caught a stray thought from her nephew. "What did you two talk about to make you think like that love?" She asked softly.
Fabian blushed a little. "We were going to bring this up after I had properly greeted my mates, but Hermione and I were talking about the things we have missed not having grown up together, and somehow that conversation got turned to seeing each other naked. So I proposed that we all do that at some point, when we are all together to let no shame stand between us."
By now Nymphadora and Hermione had joined them too, with Dora and his three mates quirking an eyebrow at the siblings."
"So in order to erase any shame between the six of us, we should all just strip down?" Fleur asked pointedly.
Fabian nodded at her. "We figured this was the easiest way. Knowing us, both the four of us and Hermione and Dora, it is bound to happen at some point, so we merely want to create a controlled environment to limit any potential jealousy."
Fleur smiled at that. "While it surprises me that you two would even think of such a thing, you are most definitely right. It is bound to 'appen at some point and if we do this, we will all be less prone to jealousy and be more comfortable with each other in general. I also think it will help our Bond evolve more."
He nodded and smiled at her. "I agree. Dora and Hermione are basically a part of our Bond, and within that Bond there does not have to be any shame."
"So did you guys wanted to do this now, or wait until the weekend?" Nymphadora asked with a smile.
The four lovers shared a look at that. "We can do this now if you girls are okay with it. I don't see a reason to put this off until the weekend." Fabian said with a smile.
The girls smiled and watched as Hermione and Fabian took off their robes, since that would leave them all in roughly the similar amount of clothes. "So, how did you all want to do this?" Bellatrix asked with a smile.
"One item per couple to start and then go on until everyone is naked? It seems the easiest way to me." Luna said with a smile.
Everyone nodded and Hermione and Dora quickly got to work on removing their sweaters, Dora mostly wearing one because of the slight chill in the room.
Fabian and his lovers soon followed suit by doing the same thing, and soon enough they all were in their underwear, both Hermione and Luna with slight blushes on their faces.
"Since the women are clearly the majority 'ere, I think you should be the first one to show it all, mon amour." Fleur said with a husky purr, doing this deliberately to excite her mate a little.
Fabian smiled at them as he slowly pulled down his underwear, revealing his semi erect penis to Hermione and Dora.
Nymphadora smiled and Hermione blushed slightly at the sight of it. Nymphadora had of course seen his penis before, but that had been quite a number of years ago and he had matured very nicely in her humble opinion.
Next up was Bellatrix, who took off her bra with both a smile and a slight blush, which only darkened as she slid down her black lace panties.
Fleur was a bit more confident and took her bra and panties off with a smile, standing proudly next to her mates.
Lastly Luna slowly took off her own blue bra and panties, fighting the urge to cover herself in front of Hermione and Nymphadora.
Nymphadora only smiled at her friends and family as she took off her bright yellow bra and panties, not ashamed to be naked in front of so many people.
Hermione was clearly a little bit uncomfortable, but took off her plain white bra and panties with a blush.
Now that they were all naked in front of each other, Nymphadora just couldn't help herself. "I must say Fabe, you've matured very nicely. That last time I saw your penis it was not that big."
He smiled at that. "Let's just say that with my last growth spurt everything grew. According to my lovers it can get to ten inches when I'm fully hard."
"I can see that, since you're at least half hard now." Nymphadora said with a smile.
"Since the purpose of this was to erase any shame, I don't really mind the effect my lovers have on me on a daily basis, but since we are comparing things, your breasts have also grown a few cup sizes." He said with a smile.
Nymphadora smiled at that. "Yes, a fact my girlfriend enjoys immensely, but it seems you can relate to that, since Aunt Bella's are still the biggest and firmest in our family."
Bellatrix smiled at her niece. "All women of the House of Black are blessed with generous breasts. I'm sure Hermione's will grow a few sizes still. Mine didn't finish growing until I came of age."
Hermione smiled at that. "I was a bit worried about that, but thank you for voicing my fears Bellatrix. I must admit that since I have known of my true heritage I have been a bit jealous of that."
Bellatrix smiled at the brunette. "You are a beautiful young woman, Hermione, and very worthy of the name Black. If you want I can show you a few pictures of when me and my sisters were your age, you will see you are the spitting image of your mother. Andromeda was also a bit of a late bloomer."
Hermione smiled and nodded at that. "I'll admit that I have been a bit jealous of all three of you at some point. You are all so beautiful that I just feel plain next to all of you."
Fleur smiled at the brunette. "You are also a very beautiful woman, 'ermione, and you are quickly becoming a sister to me."
Hermione smiled and went to hug the taller blonde. "Merci Fleur. That means a lot to me."
"She is right though Hermione. I have always thought you were very beautiful. I was always a bit jealous of you too." Luna said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at her. "I was also jealous of you and how easy you seemed to command attention of those around you, but when I got to know you I saw what it was."
Luna smiled at her. "I have always been a bit of an odd duck, but I have embraced it. It doesn't really matter what people outside of our family say about me."
"It seems another shared trait of our family is that we don't really shave, or am I mistaken in that?" Hermione asked with a smile.
The three girls smiled at that. "We don't know why, but Fabian loves it. It is an amazing feeling when he nuzzles us there early in the morning, so sensual."
Hermione smiled at that. "Dora likes it on me too, and I love it on her too, although I will admit that when she uses her gift to grow a dick I prefer it bare, which she can do easily enough."
"We had the same with Fabian and his pubic hair tickling our nose when we gave him a blowjob, but he surprised us recently by shaving it off, which only made it look bigger." Bellatrix said with a smile to her mate.
Hermione nodded at that. "I know I have no right of asking, but would it be okay if I saw it at its full length, maybe I can convince Dora to grow hers to a similar size."
Nymphadora smiled at her lover as the four mates shared a look with each other. "I think I can do that if I see it at full strength." Nymphadora said softly.
"You're already half way there love. We might as well go all the way now. Your sister deserves the best after all, and it doesn't get much better than yours." Fleur said softly.
He smiled and kissed them all softly. "That's true, Hermione does deserve the best, but how do you want to do this? I promised her that I would keep myself under control."
Luna smiled at him. "We were not about to give you a blowjob in the middle of the living room, but we know exactly how to get you hard." She said as she gently teased his stomach, while Fleur and Bella nibbled his neck and ears.
He groaned softly as they stepped away, his cock now at full attention, which earned a gasp from Hermione and Dora. "Oh wow. I never thought a penis could get that big." Hermione said softly.
"I'm sure you've heard the saying that is not the size that counts, but how you use it, in Fabian's case both apply. He definitely knows how to use his cock to bring us to heaven each time we make love." Bellatrix said with a soft smile to her lover.
"Which we do an awful lot, come to think of it, but I will never complain about that fact." Fabian said as he pressed a soft kiss to Bella's neck.
Hermione smiled at that. "Yes, it seems all of us are quite addicted to our mates, but I do have to ask. What do you guys do to keep things interesting, I can imagine you can fall into a pattern at times."
Fleur smiled at the brunette. "We have done a lot by now, but the fun thing about 'aving three lovers is that things never get stale. Recently we are really enjoying anal sex with our mate, and while it is very much an acquired taste, we wouldn't change anything in our intimate relationship at the moment. But I pose the same question to you 'ermione. What do you and Dora do to keep things interesting."
Nymphadora laughed lightly as she pulled her lover into her side. "Recently Hermione and I have taken an interest in role playing, and with my ability it gets that extra layer of play. She has asked me to turn into a variety of people and it has really spiced things up."
"And who do you fantasize about, 'Mione? Anyone we know?" Fabian asked with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at him. "I would say you know all of them, since I have asked Dora to turn into all of you at least once, other than that it has been Ginny, Padma, Parvati and even Lavender. But having said that, I also very much enjoy the fact that Dora sometimes dresses up as a teacher and seduces me like that."
The three women smiled at that. "So besides Fabian it has been all women. May I ask how long you have known that you were a lesbian?" Bellatrix asked in genuine curiosity.
"I wouldn't exactly call myself a lesbian, because like I told Fabian earlier today, I had an enormous crush on him too, and there are certainly other men I enjoy looking at. I would rather think I am bisexual who is very much in love with a woman. I've never really thought of labeling myself, but to answer your question, I have known since second year when Ginny came to school. I can honestly say she was the first girl I ever had a crush on." Hermione said with a smile.
Bellatrix smiled at that. "It seems you are really more like Andi than I could have imagined. Like you, Andromeda is also bisexual and has mostly preferred women throughout her life, and like you she refuses to label herself."
Hermione smiled at that. "It sounds like I have a lot to talk about with my mother once we are back home."
"We all have a lot of things to do when we get home, a talk with the former Headmaster Phineas among those. We need some information from someone who was a part of the previous Bond." Fabian said with a smile.
Hermione and Dora both nodded at that. "Unfortunately we have to wait a few more weeks until we can go back home, but for now I think it might be a good idea if we go to bed. We've had a long day and I'm dead of my feet. Thank you for everything you have shared with us today."
The Coven smiled and went to hug them. "We thank you too. We understand that it could not 'ave been easy for you to bare yourself in the way you 'ave done today." Fleur said with a smile.
"Easier than you think Fleur. I'll admit that I have never been comfortable with my looks, but thanks to you all and Dora I am getting better at that."
"We're glad you are getting more comfortable around us 'Mione. Have a good night." Fabian said with a smile.
Hermione smiled and gave him a last hug before bidding her own good nights, following her blue haired witch to their bedroom, the Coven doing the same after gathering their clothes.
"I 'ope you don't mind if we go to bed love, it 'as been a long day for us all." Fleur said softly.
He smiled at them. "Honestly I am too tired myself to give you girls the pleasure you deserve tonight, so no, I don't mind at all."
The girls smiled and kissed him before they cuddled up in bed together, all of them asleep as soon as they hit their pillows.
