Chapter 15 –
The keys jingled in the door until eventually the two werewolves walked in, dumping the bags in the kitchen before collapsing on the sofa with loud sighs.
"Well I'm nackered." Remus said as he closed his eyes lazily, Cara chuckling weakly next to him.
"I'd like to second said comment." He mumbled before he glanced over at the clock...Harry should be home soon. Grinning he slid off the couch and made his way to the kitchen again to flip the kettle on.
"Remus...did you and Sirius ever do anything like marriage? Not that you could do the traditional ceremony but..." The blonde asked as he pulled out to cups from the cupboard.
Opening one eye Remus looked over at the younger man curiously. Smiling he got up from the sofa and made his way to lean on the archway of the kitchen entrance.
"Ever heard of something called a Handfasting?" he asked as Cara offered him a biscuit from the tin. The blonde nodded.
"Aye, It's sort of like a Wiccan marriage right?" The tawny-haired man nodded a little as he munched on his biscuit.
"Yes, Vows and promises are exchanged, blessings are performed but unlike the traditional muggle, or Wizard even, wedding it can either last for a year and a day or for as long as love lasts. It's not a reliant on forms and signatures for divorce or owning right, simply a celebration of love itself."
Cara listened raptly at the information. He rather liked the idea of a Handfasting.
"Well Sirius 'proposed' to me if you like and Dumbledore performed the ceremony for us...it's one of the best days of my life."
They both regarded one another silently in companionable comfort. Turning back to finish the tea's the moment was interrupted as Tonks and Harry both came flying through the door in what looked like the finish of a race.
"HA! I win, you suck, you are a loser a loooooser!" Tonks did a little dance in the middle of the floor as Harry growled at her, slipping into the kitchen to hug Remus then kiss Cara.
"How was your day?" He asked as he hopped onto the counter with the biscuit tin. Cara took it back causing the animagi to give him a mock scowl.
"We did the shopping basically, something productive. You?"
"Well I would like to say at work we did something productive but, heh, we play at work." He winked at the blonde as he hopped back down.
"Just kidding, I spoke to the Commander and Tiphareth now has permission to work alongside the Order for their protection." Harry pulled off his black cloak as he folded it and threw it onto the kitchen side.
"Good, Dumbledore will be glad to hear that, I'll Floo call him." Remus smiled at the two then took hid leave to us the fireplace in the two lover's bedroom.
"Did you have a fun day?" Harry asked as he slipped his arms around the blonde's waist, snuggling his face into the juncture of the werewolf's neck and shoulder.
Humming happily Cara put his arms around his mate's neck as he kissed the raven hair.
"Yeah, Remus is good company...sort of like the father figure for us." He chuckled lightly and Harry joined him, nodding slightly.
Cupping the back of his mate's head the blonde pulled Harry's lips to his in a searing kiss, deepening it when he felt the animagi's tongue slide against the gap of his lips.
"Whoops, sorry lads!" They broke apart to find a smirking Tonks who was trying to manoeuvre around them.
"It's just you've got the cookies." She said matter-of-factly as she grabbed the tin then legged it back into the living area, bouncing onto the sofa where Remus joined her a few moments later.
The two lovers watched as the two seated began to fight over the tin resulting in the older werewolf using a low tact of 'Look over there! It's Ville Valo!'
"You know considering we're the youngest here I feel like I'm babysitting." Cara said mildly as his boyfriend laughed lightly beside him.
"If it's not you and Tonks then its Remus and Tonks." They both turned to the source of the voice to find Hermione closing the door behind her and pulling off her work cloak.
"Good day?" Harry asked Hermione collapsed onto the couch with a happy sigh.
"Does finally getting Werewolf marital papers signed positively count as good?" She said casually but the glint in her eye suggested her excitement.
"OH MY GOD!" Tonks yelled happily as Remus congratulated the young witch and the other two males gave them their excited congratulations.
"Yes, yes I know I'm brilliant." She flapped her hand in show of mock superiority but she still blushed slightly.
"That's wonderful Hermione, you've probably become the Lycan hero world- wide." Harry said as he gave her a one armed hug.
"She's certainly mine." Remus said with a wink at the flushed girl.
"Ah, ok now you're all just making me pink. I want tea, food is good."
~*~
"You're sure that you don't mind this sofa Remus, it doesn't look very comfy." Harry asked as the older man snuggled under the covers grinning.
"Harry, I reassure you this is fine, it's actually a lot more softer then it appears."
"Well ok, but if not feel free to transfigure it slightly." Saying his goodnights Harry muttered the lights in the living room off as he made his way down the hallway where he could hear the girls talking animatedly to one another in the guestroom.
Poking his head round the door he grinned at the two.
"All right?" He asked as the two girls grinned and waved at him from their beds.
"Just as fine as the other days we've been here Harry, stop fretting." Hermione said rolling her eyes as the man gave them a goofy grin and closed the door.
He then went into his own room where Cara was sat up in bed, a book open in his lap as he had the covers wrapped around him. Closing the door behind him the animagi pulled off his robes, chucking them to one side them as he sat on the bed he whisked off his trousers so he was only in his boxers.
Cara eyed him happily, the way the muscles moved in his mate's arm and back as he moved around. Letting his gaze trail back up he met peridot green and a smirking mouth.
"Like what you see?" The raven-haired male teased as he stood once more to retrieve a T-shirt from his chest of draws.
"Always have." The blonde replied simply as Harry pulled on a slightly worn red T-shirt with the Weird Sister's slogan across the chest.
Chuckling the darker man climber under the covers as he leant in to kiss the blonde. Fingers entwined themselves into his hair and he found it was almost impossibly to grin whilst you were kissing someone. Cara pulled him down so he was led over him, legs entangled and hands tracing every contour on each other's bodies.
"You are insatiable my Little Wolf." The animagi muttered into the slightly open mouth of his lover. When a moan was his answer he grinned and leant in to kiss him again.
They were just getting into it when banging sounded from both ends of the room...one wall from the living room and one from the guestroom.
"Wasn't the other day enough?" Came Hermione's muffled voice and Tonks little 'Yeah!' of support, although she sounded like she was laughing.
"I want some sleep tonight!" Remus's distorted voice sounded from the other end
The two men looked at one another before cracking up and called their apologies.
Rolling over to lie on his back beside his lover Harry chuckled lightly as the blonde curled up on his chest.
"Harry..."
Looking down the dark male gave a little sound in his throat to indicate that he was listening.
"Today, at the supermarket...I think someone was there, watching me and Remus." Cara looked up at the slightly frowning face of his mate.
"What makes you say that?" The animagi asked softly as he ran a hand down the man's cheek.
"My wolf senses were going a little haywire and that only happens if there are hunter's nearby." Sitting up slightly the blonde looked down at the concerned face of his mate.
"What do you think? Maybe I'm just a little paranoid about all of this."
Shaking his head Harry pushed himself up too.
"No, no I think you may be right. If it happens again don't shrug it off, follow your instincts love."
"Is this what it was like before? During the war?" Cara asked quietly as he moved forward to rest his head under Harry's chin.
"I'm afraid so...you never knew what was going to happen or if someone else was going to die next." The darker male said equally as quiet.
"You're being safe right? Like you promised?" The werewolf asked, his voice cracking slightly.
"It'll be all right Cara, I promise. We're going to grow old together, become senile as we frighten the local postman and have 3 cats."
Laughing lightly the blonde began to relax as he looked into the mischievous glint in his lover's eyes. There was also love and belief in there so it almost seemed silly to be worried.
"Three Cats?" He asked teasingly and Harry nodded seriously.
"Oh yes, one called Mr Mistoffles, the other Rum Tum Tugger and the last is Skimbleshanks."
Cara cracked up and began laughing at the light chuckles coming from his beautiful boyfriend.
"I like them." He said through a beaming smile as he kissed Harry again. When they both curled up to sleep a while later, the animagi spooning the werewolf, Cara thought to himself.
Harry was sure of their being together for a long time, that they would get through this and he found himself beginning to believe it. After all, no ones promised him three cats before and this thought made him smile.
