Severus Snape joined the post battle conversation when he arrived with the aid of the Weasley's charmed floo powder. He had just decided what to tell Voldemort and was very aware that he would tell him that his D.E.'s had been defeated. Every last one of them he had sent to break into Malfoy Manor had either been killed or captured, none had apparated safely back to the dark lord in his castle to give him the news. His magical battle ward cannon lost to the Light.
Severus was still a very active spy for Dumbledore and needed to know exactly what he could report to Voldemort 'and still leave in once piece unscathed' as a loyal servant to him. Dumbledore and Severus had just finished discussing what diversionary information they would pass along when they spotted Adam, Draco and Harry coming into the dining room talking to each other quietly.
"Ah there they are Severus, come here boys, someone's come to see you." Dumbledore said to the three young men. Changing subjects immediately and not missing a step. Harry was holding Draco's hand as they walked to greet the headmaster and Snape. What was Snape doing here?
"Draco, Potter, Prince Thundercloud." Severus said in a normal voice. "I wonder if I might have a moment alone with the three of you?" ...and nodded to Dumbledore, the diversion a success.
"Alright, what about Mr. Snape? And please call me Adam, there aren't any other princes here, I gotta lock on that it seems. I'm just a guy you know."
"Very well Adam, I shall have to call you Mister Black at school though."
"Whatever. What did you want to talk about?" Adam said to Severus as Draco and Harry led the way to somewhere private that they could talk freely.
"Please close the door and lets sit down." Severus said to Adam, Draco and Harry were already sitting on a divan waiting for them holding hands still.
"Ok what's on your mind Mr. Snape?" Adam said again.
"Considering the situation, while we are alone boys, I would like for you all to call me Severus if you wouldn't mind. That goes for you as well Draco, Harry." Severus said nodding to the two young lovers/warriors/Thunderbirds.
Harry and Draco just blinked and agreed to call the potions master Severus. As odd as it seemed, they were willing to oblige.
"How about Sev?" Draco asked raising an eyebrow at the potions master.
"Don't push your luck Draco." Snape said with a smile on his face. Harry and Draco were unaccustomed to seeing this expression on the man that they have known for 5 years at school,Draco for most of his, and Adam thought it was natural. What did he know?
"Right, Severus it is then." Draco replied, the eyebrow lowered.
"The reason I wanted to talk to you is, I've been invited to go to America with the thirteen of you by Adam's mother, Little Bird and I need some help. I have no idea at all of what to wear. Obviously, I cannot go dressed like this or I'd melt. Do you suppose you could get away for a few hours tomorrow for some shopping in muggle London? I know it's your birthday tomorrow and this is short notice but perhaps..." Snape trailed off waiting for an answer.
He didn't have time to blink an eye before Draco, Harry and Adam all had said yes before he could finish. Adam told him what would be sensable to wear and he could figure what he would need to suppliment his wardrobe.
"If ma doesn't like what you're wearing, she'll change it to something she does like." Adam told Severus.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked. Snape looked on waiting to hear the question answered.
"You don't wanna know, lets just say she gets her way and leave it at that." Adam said to them all, but to Harry in particular.
"That is something I will consider when making my purchases tomorrow Adam, thank you." Severus said, "I believe you were going to have a bite to eat and retire for the evening. I'm sure you'll have a very busy day."
'And night hehehehe' Adam thought to the boys
'Right in one' Draco said to his cousin, Harry was still in a bit of shock at Snape's new attitude towards him. So he just nodded and smiled. Severus and the boys stood as one and made for the door to the small room where they had had their short conversation headed for the dining room.
The Thunderbirds were rejoined by Draco and Harry and the two boys filled their plates. All of a sudden they had huge appetites and paid little attention to the conversations around them while they ate.
Adam decided to have a little fun with the food they were all eating and started writing a dirty message in his gravy and finger waving the message to different plates while the others ate. Ginny caught on to what was happening right away and gave Adam a wink, a grin and then she sat back to look at the other faces as they ate seeing how long it would take them to see the messages. It wasn't very long before all of the teens were laughing at their food.
The adult wizards at the other end of the very very long table were beginning to wonder what was so funny. Finally, Adam traced T1 45 min in his plate and sent it to all the teens at once with a wave of his hand. Their laughter was very helpful in hiding the fact that the Thunderbirds were up to something, because none of them had to think anything to anyone, non verbal, non mental communication.
The messages were wiped up by a hunk of bread by each of the teens and they went on eating and talking amongst themselves. Thirty minutes passed and they were cleaning thier plates for the third time. Greg and Vince didn't eat more than the other boys for that matter, but Ginny consumed 4 full plates of food and wondered what was for pudding. She had become used to eating at Malfoy Manor and there was always pudding.
Adam thought to the group of teens 'Let's go upstairs, we can talk, I'll put up silencing charms so we won't bother anyone' he knew Mr. Dumbledore would hear him because of the proximity. The teens rose almost as one and turned to the door to the dining room when Dumbledore rose and said,
"Good hunting Thunderbirds"
The teens were shocked to say the least. How did he know what they were up to?
"That man is fucking scary I swear" Draco said when they were out of earshot of the dining room where they had left the OotP members with his mother.
"Oi, you said.."
"it, Draco." Fred and George said together. It didn't really matter who said what.
"Brilliant, but fucking scary" Draco repeated himself.
"I bet he's got one of them eye things that ma has. I swear that thing is an ear on the other side. We gotta make us those charmed rings when we get to Arizona dudes. He ain't gonna like some of the stuff we can think to do just cuz we can. I didn't tell you guys that you didn't have to be on the ground to change into a Thunderbird did I?"
"No, if this is something we should know, then tell us immediately Adam." Hermione said. The others nodded.
"Well, so long as you draw the magic from the ground and say Thunderbird before, well, you hit the ground, you can fly away and not get hurt. Handy if you're falling I suppose, but if we're jumping out of say, the higest tower at the manor, I don't see a problem with an escape in..." Adam looked at his time piece,"...15 minutes no one will know we're gone. We'll fly through the wards like any other bird and land past the apparition barrier and then go to Harry's house in Surrey. So..."
"So nothing Adam, now, are you going to change us into bloody Navajo's or not?" Neville said.
"Keep your shirt on Nev. Plenty of time for that. Did you know that there is a really cool potions lab at the ministry?" Adam inquired of the bunch.
"No, weeellll, there is. The wizards that work in there are total dorks compared to Mr. Snape."
The Weasley boys and Harry almost fainted at what their new friend had just said. The girls just rolled their eyes. The Slytherin boys agreed with Adam and Neville said, "He's a git of the first magnitude Adam, but he's a bloody brilliant git and I for one am glad that I don't have to take his classes anymore, that two years in ten days without being picked on is the only way to go. Now what does that have to do with the ministry? Uh, sorry for interrupting."
"What's a git? Nevermind... there's lots of words that you guys use I can't unnerstand cuz they's in English," Adam muttered to himself, "Those guys were introduced to me by Mr. Weasley and they offered to show me around. I asked them if I could use some of their potions ingredients for a pepper up potion. They said yes and I made some, but, I added an ingredient that I brought with me in my portable kit..never leave home without it..anyway, I added powdered Jackalope horn so it has a bit of a kick to it, but it should take care of the fatigue we're going to be feeling tomorrow because we didn't get enough sleep."
"Why didn't you just say so you ponce." Draco said to his cousin.
"What's a ponce? Don't answer Draco. I'll ask your mother."
"You wouldn't dare"
"Oh, yes I would too Drakiepoo!" Adam said sing song.
Laughter could be heard from everyone, Slytherins included because Adam called Draco a cute name and Draco turned four shades of red.
"In my room guys," Adam said to his friends.
Once inside Adam indeed silenced the room and went to get the Jackalope pepper up potion that he had concocted. The teens were standing around the fireplace looking at Adam as he poured 13 doses of the potion into 13 goblets handing one to each of them as he finished pouring.
"This IS safe isn't it Adam? I've had pepper up potion before and at best it..." Hermione said, the young women agreed with Hermione, if it was going to do something unexpected, they wanted to know.
"Oh hell yeah. It can be addictive if it's used all the time, but for a good cause it won't hurt. I'll go first." Adam said and downed his JPUP in one gulp. "MMM thats good"
The boys all followed suit and then Ginny. Seeing as there were no ill effects yet showing besides the steam from under their collars, Hermione and Luna drank their potion.
"That feels bloody marvelous! Turn me into a Navajo NOW, uh, please." Neville said just a bit too enthusiastically. He was almost jumping up and down.
"Ok Neville, hang on dude. Ladies, please go into the bathroom and undress, put your robes back on and come on back out here when I give you the all clear. Don't look at me that way, just go do it you three." Adam said to the girls and turned to the boys. "Strip."
"Strip?" Adam heard nine voices at once.
"I can't put you in clothes if you're wearing clothes already now can I? Unless you want me to transfigure your clothes into something that could get ruined? Now just fucking take your clothes off. Please?" Adam said just a little too sweetly for Ron, Blaise and Neville. The other boys didn't seem to care as they were down to their boxers already getting ready to drop them as well, they paid no attention to their nakedness. They had no idea what was going on in the bathroom where the girls were undressing.
"Ginny, Hermione, come here and lets do the look see thing. I'm getting something."
Luna said smiling, she knew what it was she was seeing but it wasn't clear enough for her to enjoy properly so she asked for help. Ginny and Hermione obliged her and touched her head and closed their eyes so they could see Luna's vision.
Ginny dropped the clothes she had been holding when she saw what Luna was looking at. 10 grown young handsome wizards standing in the next room naked as the day they were born being talked to by Adam. Ginny said out loud to the girls.
"I've never cared to see my brothers naked, but they look damn good and bloody hell, so does Neville and Oh Merlin, look at Harry and Draco. The girls at Hogwarts are going to just die! Wait until pugface gets a load of them! Greg and Vince and Blaise are easy on the eyes as well. Hermione, what do you think?"
"I think we shouldn't be looking at them, but we are, and you're right they do look a bit yummy. As for Harry, you're right. The girls and some of the boy's too I'm sure will be crying in their butterbeer at the loss to Draco. I've never seen Ron, you know, totally naked before, but I'm going to make it a point to try again soon you can rest assured. What is Adam doing? Ah, oh, very clever. Ok here he comes." the witches let go of Luna and looked at the door.
"Ladies are you indecent?" Adam asked amused through the door.
"Yes we are and if you come in here we'll hex you into next week Adam Black"
Ginny said for the girls.
Ron told his friend that was about to open the door to doom, "Better not mate, she can throw a wicked bat bogey hex and a jelly legs jinx in a heartbeat."
"Ok, just open the door and get close, I won't look" Adam said nicely to the girls, the door opened a crack and Adam put in his hand and waved it.
The girls came out dressed as female warriors, in very sexy looking elkskin garments, their faces were painted their hair was braided and had feathers in it. They were carrying thier robes. The boys looked similar only they were only wearing something over their bits and pieces and thier arses, their chests were adorned with Navajo battle shields, they too had feathers in their hair and a few braids, everyones hair was black including Draco's their skins had all turned a deep brownish red like Adam's.
"Bloody hell Black, brilliant, absolutely marvelous! Look at us!" Neville said.
"Draco," Harry whispered into Draco's ear, "..you look very edible."
Draco couldn't get any redder so his embarassed face didn't show. He turned to Harry and said,
"I'll feed you later Harry."
He smirked the Malfoy smirk and raised his eyebrow, but it didn't have the effect it did when he was paleface Draco, it was more inviting than Draco intended. Ginny saw Draco smirk at Harry and nudged Hermione.
"Tell me those two aren't in love." she whispered.
"You know I can't lie to you. They are." Hermione said and the two giggled.
"Lets get going you guys. To the top of the manor tower. After you Drakiepoo!" Adam said teasing his cousin. Draco loved him and he knew he meant no harm so he didn't say anything.
"Follow me and stay close..." Draco was standing in front of Harry when he said close, Harry did what he said. Literally. He reached around Draco and pulled him into his barely covered groin and gave him a little push from behind with his hips. Draco's eyes got big as saucers and he began to giggle a little "..not that close right now Harry, maybe later."
"Spoil sport"
"I love you anyway Harry, now shut it and follow me." Draco ordered, the others followed.
"Here we are, as high as we can walk to, in the mansion" Draco said as he opened the door to the room at the top of the tower.
The group of teens gathered at the window a bit apprehensive at the height, not that it wasn't high up, but because it wasn't that high up.
"Are you sure we can do this? It doesn't look like we'll have enough time to transform before we hit the ground."
"Easy as pie. Start to draw up the magic on the up swing when you jump, transform and on the down swing you're airborn wings out and we're on our way. Piece of cake."
"Why did you buy those brooms Adam? If we can fly this way why do it another way?" Greg asked Adam, he knew of the purchase of the fancy brooms and was curious as to why he spent almost 25 thousand galleons on something he didn't need.
"We can't go flying off from a castle in Scotland as great birds just on a whim, but we can fly almost as fast on those brooms if we need to. Just another anal retentive thing I'm guilty of, the need for speed." Adam said as he jumped out of the window feet first and out of sight. The next thing the stunned teens saw was a great big bird flash across the window on its way up. Ginny was the first to the window, not stopping on her way out and her brothers were amazed at her courage, worried at the same time, but in a heartbeat later she was flying past the window on her way up as a Thunderbird. Hermione and Luna were next then Blaise, Neville, Greg and Vince, then George and Fred finally after breaking from a quick 20 second snog, Draco and Harry jumped at once.
Ginny, Adam, Luna and Hermione got to watch the boys jump in turn and as they watched the boys jump, they got a view they thought they'd never see, all the boys in almost all their glory as their covers uncovered their private bits on the way down.
'Don't say a word'
Adam thought to the girls but everybody complied thinking it was an order rather than a caution to the girls not to mention what they'd seen.
The Thunderbirds all transfigured quicker then they had ever done before, perhaps the closeness of the ground was incentive enough, but Adam knew the capabilities of his dozen paleface friends and he flew up and over and through the wards protecting the manor and into a clearing beyond the anti apparition fields that Harry and Draco set and did not undo just because the battle that was fought earlier was over. They only lifted them for the Aurors.
Adam landed quietly not making any thunder when he landed, the others were as quiet as they could be. "Mr. Dumbledore might have picked me up saying 'not a word'... " Adam said and he turned to the Navajo Warrior Princesses and Princes, winking at the "Princesses" on the sly, and they began to apparate to the back of the garage in the alleyway behind Number 4 Privet drive. Just next to the wards that protected it.
"You'll need weapons to look fierce and intimidating," Adam began, he stooped to pick up stones from the alleyway and handed one to each of the "Navajos" and he turned the stones into lances complete with feathers and scalps, and big sharp knives.
Adam stooped to pick up more stones and he turned them into such things as quivers with arrows and long bows and into rawhide ropes all meant to scare the daylights out of Harry's "family". The Dursleys hopefully would by the nights end wish Harry was there to protect them from the blood thirsty aborigional savages that magic'ed into their home to terrorize them.
The thirteen wizard warriors aka Thunderbirds walked under the wards where Harry knew them to be weak. Adam used a spell to lift the ward a bit and the teens crawled under the dome Adam had created.
"You've got to show us"
"that one mate." Fred and George said, giving Adam a wink as they slid under his dome.
'Ok, no talking out loud until the surprise is sprung. Harry you still have the parchment don't you?'
'Right here Adam.'
Harry reached to a small adornment in his hair and he enlarged it into a letter from "Harry" to his Aunt and Uncle and cousin.
It read: Dear Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and Dudley,
These people are my friends, they are not death eaters,
however they are more deadly and much more messy and they have a warning for you. I'd pay attention to what they have to say.
Your nephew, Harry Potter
They caught Aunt Petunia off guard and Draco pulled Harry's aunt to the sink and filled it with water while she had read the letter Harry handed her. Petunia thought that Draco was going to drown her when he waved his hand over the water and showed Petunia a sight for her eyes only, Draco snogging the breath away from Harry, and Harry doing all kinds of nasty things to him back.
He waved his hand again and showed Petunia the wedding she wasn't going to be at, the children that were playing happily together at Harry's feet, then Draco got vicious and he showed Petunia what Harry had seen just over two weeks before and then he showed her Harry bleeding trembling and convulsing.
She wept. Vowing to be nicer to her nephew. He didn't need her tongue lashings and punishments for things that Dudley obviously had done. Things would change on her part.
In the bedroom upstairs Vernon had been lashed to the bed by Luna and Ginny, Hermione had stuffed a wad of lashing into his mouth to keep him from shouting so loudly. Fred and George could be seen brandishing knives at the foot of Vernons bed, Neville was holding his knife in his teeth, and crossing his arms over his chest. Something he had seen in a muggle film about stereotypes at school.
Ron was standing next to Vernon and as he did, he held a knife tip to Vernons nose just pricking the bulbous red end of it, making it bleed. The twins and Neville laughed at the frightened muggle. Hermione knelt down beside the trembling man and whispered something in his ear, smiling as she stood up satisfied that she had delivered her message and that it was understood. No more treating Harry Potter like a slave. He was a wizard and a damn strong one.
The Thunderbirds started to disapparate and apparate into the room in different locations in front of Vernon, his piggy eyes got even smaller as he squinted to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing, he couldn't sit up as he was restrained, but he could tell that there was that funny business going on and in HIS house. He did not show his rage, rather his fear. At that moment he was deciding on just how to kill Harry he was that mad that these savage freaks had made him want to kill. He was more interested in just surviving at the moment, he would plan to kill Harry later. Much later.
Vernon thought he heard thunder and he looked to his window and he witnessed Neville change into the great scary bird that he was. Neville looked at Vernon with a hungry look in his eye and that worried him.
Draco caught up with Harry, Luna and Blaise who were already in Dudley's bedroom transfiguring everything he had into things that Dudley wouldn't be caught dead with. They turned his bed into one that looked like it belonged to a French whore.
Blaise started in on Dudley, turning his pyjamas into fishnet stockings with garters and Luna added a bustier for good measure. Dudley was a sight. Draco smirked when he added complete a complete make-up job with very hard to remove industrial strength female war paint. They grew his hair long and made it look like Snape's.
Harry added the finishing touch when he gave him a pig's tail like the one that Hagrid had given him. The four sniggering teens had accomplished what they wanted to do. Humiliate Dudley for the years of abuse the same way he was abused, by Dudley's friends.
He will get his when he goes to school dressed as a girl tomorrow, only Dudley will think that he's wearing his normal clothing. That was Luna's idea. She was also the one to cast a version of the imperious curse on Dudley without a wand naturally, the thing that made it brilliant was there was no law against what she had done. 'War powers and all that' she thought as she cast the unforgivable curse on 'Duddykins'.
Harry collected the remainder of his belongings left in Dudley's second bedroom and the things hidden under the loose floorboard and shrunk them into something he could tuck into what little was covering his bits.
He was otherwise not modest about his state of undress he was aware of the cold however as was evident in the spaciousness that was now the pouch that held not only his possessions but his manhood as well...Shrinkage! It was cold but not freezing, Draco and the Slytherins didn't mind the cold as much. They learned warming charms in their first year at Hogwarts, it WAS cold in the dungeons you know.
Draco took pity on his future husband and warmed him up by putting his tongue in his mouth and got Harry's attention thus warming him faster than their charms had warmed them. He charmed him warm to make sure however. He didn't want an ill Harry on his hands while in America.
Draco had finished with Petunia earlier and left her crying in the kitchen where she had been getting a drink of water when they entered silently.
She was still where Draco had left her, and had made no attempt at fleeing or shouting for Vernon.
"We'll see you if ever again hurt Harry white woman. That is not a threat. It.is.a.promise." Ginny whispered to Petunia in a menacing tone, pointing her finger at her.
The thirteen warriors exited the house, but not before modifying the memories of the three people inside. Petunia would awaken sitting at her kitchen table, new resolve from her strange dream, Vernon would wake spread eagle on his bed feeling like he always does, angry at Harry Potter only he was confused a bit as to why Petunia wasn't in bed. His mouth would taste like it had rope in it and his wrists and ankles had red marks on them, like he was tied up. Dudley would wake and think nothing of his furnishings and go about getting ready for school looking like a girl. His mother wasn't going to stop him because he always dressed that way.
They had accomplished their task and it was very late, or early depending on how much sleep you were having or not getting. The teen 'Navajo's' went back through the bubble that Adam created under the wards around 4 Privet Drive. Draco and Harry disapparated first, the others followed.
Once back in the clearing outside the Malfoy Manor gates, the thirteen teens changed silently back into Thunderbirds and flew to the window they had lept out of. They changed as they hit the window sill. The girls went to the bathroom to put on their clothes before going to their bedrooms, the boys did the same. When the girls returned from the bathroom, they said good night. It was already Neville's, Harry, Draco and Adam's 16th birthday and it was going to be a long day indeed.
'G'nite everybody! ' Adam thought to his friends.
"Good night Adam, sweet dreams." Draco and Harry said and then walked to Draco's bedroom for the night. Draco could be heard asking Harry to keep his Navajo things on for a little role playing as they walked across the hall and into Draco's bedroom closing the door behind them. Adam waved his hand and closed his own door for the night, locking and silencing it. He sensed something was a bit odd just then and it wasn't coming from Harry and Draco's bedroom. Adam shrugged his shoulders and figured whatever it was would happen soon as there was no apparant danger.
Adam went to the desk in the opulent bedroom and pulled out his favorite eagle feather quill and his journal he wanted to remember everything he had done that day while it was still fresh in his mind and write down what people had said. Even with a photographic memory, he could only remember what he saw, not what he had heard, so this was important to him.
Adam had been writing for about a half an hour when a knock on his door made him look up. He waved his hand at the door and it was Narcissa. He put on his robes to cover his nudity and unlocked the door to his bedroom with another wave of his hand. He said "Come in." in a quiet voice but one that could be heard now that the charm had ended.
Narcissa entered the room smiling like a mother would at her own child and she was only his cousin.
"Adam" Narcissa began, "Happy birthday dear, I have something that I want you to see. It's outside right now, it has to be gone by morning so hurry along and see if you can get Harry and Draco to come along won't you dear? Neville is already downstairs, funny he kind of looks a bit like you do. I'll wait for you downstairs." and with that she was off still smiling that smile that mothers only knew how to do.
Adam had knocked on Draco's door quietly and was met with a furious set of eyes when the door opened. It was Draco and he was squirming behind the door making faces at Adam. He wasn't angry, he was being played with by Harry who was behind the door, Adam presumed they were naked or he'd be invited in by now so he just said,
"Your ma want's you and Harry an' me to come downstairs with her. Something's going on outside."
"What? What's going on. We'll be right out, oh, come on in! You've seen us in our all together before so going full monty once again won't matter..."
Harry had said pushing Draco out of the way with his head,
"...lets get dressed love. There might be something wrong."
"Harry, what day is today?" Draco asked sweetly.
"July the 31st, it's well past midnight."
"It's our birthday you green eyed git, now get moving, it's a present. We're only sixteen once."
"Nah uh." Adam said
"Huh? Oh, go on Adam, out!" Draco said.
"Oh, a present eh?" Harry smirked, he thought he'd try to stall just to make Draco more anxious so he started to sit down. Draco grabbed Harry by the arm and pulled him towards the door.
"Get moving. Go on now Harry, please?" Draco pleaded with his soulmate, something that a month ago he would have hexed you into next week for even suggesting.
Harry only started to laugh at Draco. He knew just which buttons to push to get the reaction he wanted when he wanted them. Only thing is they had to take turns pushing buttons. They knew instinctively which ones not to push. He got up and ran with Draco laughing, out the door to a smiling Adam.
"Hurry along boy's it's almost here, I was just about to send the elves to get you if you weren't down in the next minute anyway. Come on outside, you'll want to see this." Narcissa had said to the trio.
They were outside on one of the manor's huge lawns, surrounded by trees on one side and the mansion itself on two others, and the cliffs on the west side that the mansion was built on. It was, very secluded. Draco was impatient to get outside to see what his mother insisted that they leave their rooms at four in the morning to see. "What is it mother dear?" Draco said sweetly "Why can't it wait until morning?"
"It is morning dear and the reason is it will be gone by daylight so be patient. You and Harry can go to bed later."
Narcissa said unaware that Adam had administered JPUP to the Thunderbirds. The only thing Harry and Draco had on their minds was shagging and they intended to do it several times before the night had finished. Being a Thunderbird did have it's perks it seemed, so Draco was content with that and he settled into Harry's arms leaning against him to give him warmth. Harry had his head on Draco's shoulder when Neville came up to the lovebirds as excited as they've ever seen him. He was pointing to the low horizon over the English channel.
Adam had noticed Neville pointing and he made it to the other birthday boys and gazed in the direction that they were looking. What they saw were flames coursing back and forth across the water from a hundred feet above the sea. It was a dragon. Harry instantly knew who it was too.
"Charley."
"Charley?"
"Charley Weasley, Draco. You know, Ron's BROTHER from ROMANIA Charley?"
"Ooooooh, Charley Weasley! Yes of course who else could it be? I haven't seen him since you beat that beast in our forth year! I do hope he hasn't cut that wonderful long hair of his although it would show off his dragon's tail ear rings." Draco was teasing Adam, Harry knew it, Neville knew it but Adam didn't.
Sometimes Adam has a hole in his head the size of the Grand Canyon, a lot gets through because sometimes it doesn't quite make it to the edge to stick. He knew that more than one of Ron's brothers were gay, but all of that wasn't registering in Adam's mind at the moment. He was gazing at the fire going back and forth across the water once in a while getting closer with each passing moment. There was a dragon flying on a path that would make it come ashore right where the boys stood with Narcissa.
The magical quartet and the amused witch watched the fire breathing dragon get closer and closer to the great expanse of lawn that reached to the cliffs that offered complete safety from the ocean below but not from the sky by a living magical animal creature.
This fact wasn't known by the boy's but if they were smart they would figure it out pretty quickly and they were smart and they would figure it out. Eventually. They were boys. Hermione and Ginny had pretty much figured it out and Luna had suspected this all along goofy as she was even she knew why they didn't alarm the wards at Malfoy Manor when they left that night nor when they returned an hour ago.
The dragon drew nearer blowing a stream of fire to the ocean's surface below and from behind it 12 other dragons fanned out into a flying 'V' formation and they all blew thier fire onto the sea below, there were 13 fire breathing dragons now assaulting rapidly the cliff's where the five people were standing watching the spectacle of thirteen dragons doing maneuvers in the moonlight. Still about a mile away, the dragons could be seen very clearly in the light of the moon, windblown riders on their backs.
The dragons dipped out of sight just as they were seen clearly, and 30 seconds later they flew straight up the cliffs where everyone was standing.
Adam's eyes were as wide as they could be, his mouth wasn't hanging open like he was stupified like Draco and Neville were. Soon there were 13 dragons flying in tight circles inside the safe enclosure that stood behind the huge Malfoy Manor preparing to land.
"Adam, you wanted dragons for your birthday..." Draco said, "...and you got them, thirteen in fact, not bad. I at least expect that I get what I want for my present." His eyebrows wiggling up and down knowing he would indeed get what he wanted.
"And I entend to make sure you get it too my darling dragon." Harry whispered into Draco's ear. Narcissa happened to overhear Harry and she just smiled at the two boys as they gazed at the dragons that were landing.
The dragon that had been in the lead across the channel was the last to land and when it did it was in the center of the lawn surrounded by 12 other Hungarian Horntails. It's rider was dismounting the massive beast and using a garden claw on the dragon to show it some affection. Dragons were mean plain and simple but they were also very stupid and thus easily trained to do their handlers bidding, no one really ever tames a dragon, but they are easily pleased creatures and willing to please as well.
Charley Weasley commanded the great fire breathing beast to lower its head so he could tie it's harness to a magically secured tethering post. The other riders did the same. Charley saw Harry and immediately his scowl changed into a cherubic grin and he waved to Harry and the company he was with. He hadn't met them really, but he knew Harry and that was all that mattered. Unlike his dragons, Charley was not easy to please. Perhaps this is why he was suited to this line of work.
"Charley! Good to see you!" Harry said, holding his hand out from behind Draco.
"Charley Weasley, may I present, Narcissa Black Malfoy, Ministress of Magic, Britain, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, and Prince Adam Black Thundercloud. Everyone this is Charley Weasley of, The Burrow."
"Oi Harry! Charley Weasley of the Burrow? Wotcher mate, good to see ya! Let me be the first to tell you Happy Birthday! I was first wasn't I?" Charley said, " Good to make your acquaintance everyone. You're a Prince eh? Do I call you your majesty or your highness or..."
"No, I'm just Adam, Adam Black."
"You're not related to Sirius Black are you?"
"He is my father."
"Merlin. Sirius' son is a bloody prince. Well, good to meet you Adam."
"Very pleased to meet you too, Charley. Can I go and see the dragons?" Adam's enthusiasm was almost palpable, he was so excited. Real live dragons.
"Sure you can Adam, but don't get too close, they might hurt you and I wouldn't like that and neither would you. So, I'll go with you alright?" Charley said, eager as well to show off his charge.
"What's your dragon's name Charley?" Adam asked the tall good looking long red haired man.
"If you can get it out of her, then you're a better man than I am, I just call her Bertha."
"Bertha eh, sounds like she's an elephant! She get testy when you call her by Bertha?"
"Yeah, eh, how did you know?"
"My ma taught me all about dragons and such when she caught me playing with gila monsters back home. She thought I might as well learn all about lizards since I could talk to them. Maybe I can get her to tell me her name. A dragon looks like a big lizard. Kinda."
"You think you can do that eh? Then by all means mate, she's all yours." Charley said to Adam, thinking Adam was a bit off his rocker.
Adam walked a safe distance from the great beast. The dragon looked at Adam then roared at the sky and looked at Adam again. Adam hadn't moved he was talking to the dragon with his mind.
'Easy girl, easy there, I'm Adam, what is your name beautiful lady?'
Draco and Harry were looking on at the sight before them, Adam was standing in front of the Hungarian Horntail fearlessly. He was gesturing to the dragon when he opened his arms and put his hands down palms forward. Adam was drawing magic from the earth, he summoned a fireball between his hands and tossed it to the dragon.
Everyone watching was amazed at what just happened. The dragon caught the fireball and swallowed it like candy and bowed to Adam.
Adam began his approach to the dragon much to the worry of Charley who could be seen trying to coax him into staying a safe distance.
'just like Hagrid told you when you got Buckbeak condemned Draco'
Adam would have nothing doing with backing away from the great beast. The dragon laid down resting its massive head on it's arms and just looked at Adam, raising its head once in a while as if nodding.
'My name is Andromeda little one. How is it you speak the language of my people? You are not afraid of us?'
'I speak freely with all magical creatures Andromeda, it is one of many gifts that I am blessed with, I am not afraid of a creature like me.'
'A creature like you little one? You are only a human, but you do speak to us. How is this so?'
Adam pulled his hands from his sides and drew them up into the formation for transfiguring himself into a Thunderbird. The dragon before Adam and the twelve other dragons all stood and spread their wings and bowed thier heads to the Thunderbird. The wizards watching were gobsmacked and totally at a loss for words, they had never ever seen a dragon let alone 13 of them, do that. Charley was just grinning from ear to ear, he had only heard the legends about Thunderbirds, dragons were supposed to give their undying loyalty to them if they ever met, for ever more.
'Great warrior bird, at your wish, it is you we seek to serve. We shall bow to no other before you. The little loud ones that we let bring us here are our pets'
'Rise beautiful sister, your loyalty is all I ask'
With that the dragons raised their heads, nodded and once again laid down when Adam changed back into Adam.
'Be sure of that handsome brother'
'Rest for now sister' Adam thought to the dragon and the dragons went to sleep.
"Bloody Hell Adam! What did you just do?" Charley exclaimed.
Draco, Harry, Neville and Narcissa were walking slowly to where Adam and Charley were standing, which was pretty close to the dragons for Narcissa's comfort. They could hear the conversation begin in excited tones. Everyone could see that Charley was interested in what Adam had just done.
"You say her name is Andromeda eh?" Charley was asking the tall American prince.
"Er, yes Charley, and I think I know why you and the others do so well with them too."
"You do eh what's that hm?"
"She said that you guys are their pets. I guess that's why you can get them to cooperate with you. Oh and she said that they were loyal to me. I'm not sure, but I think that all the Thunderbirds will have this loyalty as well, and they will bow to no others for ever more, now if you'll excuse me, I wanna get a closer look at Andromeda while she sleeps." Adam said matter of factly.
"NO! She'll bite your head off!" Charley said making to stop Adam from getting closer but Adam was pretty fast and he was right next to the sleeping giant beast in a heartbeat.
'You're beautiful Andromeda. I wish I could take you home with me when I go, but your place is here' Adam thought to Andromeda. In her sleep, Andromeda let out a small dragons laugh-roar acknowledging Adam's thought to her.
Adam turned to face the 5 people that thought he was mad for approaching a dragon, but were now stunned at how calm and comfortable Adam was being near such a fearsome beast. Adam saw the look in their faces of total amazement. Draco and Harry were smiling and Neville almost looked like he wanted to touch the dragon as well.
"Adam, you're mad! Brilliant, and mad!" Draco said to his cousin.
"They're not going to hurt any of us Thunderbirds Draco, you guys, these dragons will serve us if and when the time comes that we need them."
Adam thought to his friends,'Isn't that Charley Weasley good looking?'
'Where have you been for the last five minutes? Yes, that's Charley, why? Do you fancy him?' Draco spoke, Harry agreed.
'Uhhh huhhhh! You suppose he could come for dinner tonight? With those dragons and all he might be busy.'
'Ask him Adam, you don't think it will be only us tonight did you?' Draco thought to his cousin.
'I don't know from you palefaces, you talk funny, and you get dressed up to eat dinner at home'
"Charley, would you like to come for supper tonight? We're celebrating four birthdays, Harry's, Draco's, Neville's and mine as well. I bet your ma and pa will be there. I really like your hair. oops, did I say that outloud?" Adam blushed.
Charley winked at Harry and Draco and Neville and said,"Yes you did. I would be happy to come for supper tonight. Thank you for asking. With all that bloody amazing magic you just displayed, you couldn't keep me away. Sorry to run but we have to get these beasts to Scotland before dawn, Happy Birthday boys! See you tonight then Adam. 'round six?"
"That would be great Charley. Nice to have met you. See you tonight." Adam said blushing still and smiling bigger if that was possible. Draco, Harry and Neville were shaking hands goodbye with Charley. When he came to Narcissa he said, "It has been my pleasure to see you again Ministress Malfoy."
He walked to his sleeping dragon and uttered a spell that was supposed to wake a dragon and not kill the waker upper in the process.
When the dragon woke, it stretched its wings and gave a roar and blew a stream of fire into the night sky in sort of a salute to the little one that they were loyal to. This amazed Charley who had up until that time never seen a dragon do that either. The dragon bowed again and let Charley mount him and take the reigns. The other dragons only rose upon their hind legs and stretched their wings before bowing and allowing their riders to climb on.
'We will meet again great sister' Adam bowed at the waist to the dragons.
'Until we meet again little brother' the dragon thought back to Adam, and took to the sky.
The dragons flew into the formation of the flying 'V' again and flew off over the mansion, roaring their mighty deep roar. The windows in the mansion rattled and the great beasts flapped their wings mightily and flew away They were out of sight instantly as they had to make Scotland by sunrise.
"Adam dear, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were an animage besides the obvious." Narcissa said to Adam, not letting up that mom smile, but adding a raised eyebrow expecting an answer to her unasked question.
"Well, not that it matters, ma said its animagemorphmagus. I can do critters pretty well, the Thunderbird thing, that's different, when I was learning animagus transformations, I kind of got carried away and learned them all. I could always talk to lizards and snakes, but when I changed into one of them, it was way different. I suppose now, I could try to do the dragon but I think it's pointless buuuut, it might be good to know in the future though. They possess fire, physically, we possess the fingers of God. Sorry, I guess I got carried away thinking about possibilities..." changing the subject away from him he said...", that dragon was exciting wasn't it?"
"Mother, remind me to never ask a simple yes or no question to Adam here." Draco said while ribbing Adam. Harry and Draco laughed and said "Us too!" and laughed some more. Adam was a pretty good sort and had never taken anything the Thunderbirds said to him in a bad way. He wasn't going to start now... even if it was his cousin doing the kidding this time.
Narcissa said, "Now, I think you should all get to bed, you have a good five more hours before you have to get up for breakfast."
'Hey Thunderbirds, you guys awake?' Adam shouted to his friends in his mind.
'Bloody hell mate, are you daft? What was that noise, it shook George out of Fred's bed' Blaise shouted back.
Adam could tell that Blaise was sniggering just by the tone of his thought.
'Those were dragons boys, sounded like hungarian horntails to me' Luna piped in.
'Girl knows her dragons. There were thirteen of them here with Charley Weasley, Luna.'
Harry put in his tuppence just to knick on Ron and his siblings.
'Charley was here? Why didn't you come get us you bloody git?' Ron answered.
'Because it's our birthday, and, it was Adams birthday present, don't you remember it's what he said he wanted?' Harry whined back.
'I'm sorry Harry, that horrible sound when the dragons roared right over the top of us and us sleeping, and all. Oh, by the way Harry, Happy Birthday.'
'Thanks Ron'
'Get up here you guys, you've got some explaining to do' Ginny said in a slightly moody mindtone..
Narcissa parted ways with the birthday boys and headed into the other wing and to her bedroom for some much needed rest. Ministress of Magic, Narcissa Black Malfoy had big plans and they required that she get some sleep.
Draco, Harry and Adam walked the rest of the way to the bedrooms in silence, no one thinking anything to anyone, none of the Thunderbirds were thinking anything either for that matter and it was a bit unnerving to Adam. "Draco, Harry..." Adam started, "..it's too quiet, do you think they're up to something? You've known 'em longer 'n me."
"Well, Adam our houses are quite competitive at school, and George and Fred are the two biggest pranksters that have been at school in 20 some years. I think that because of that crazy pepperup potion that we drank. We're all going mad and we won't get to sleep until way late tonight, so, yes, I do think that they're up to something." Draco mock smirked at Adam, Harry only laughed when Draco had finished.
"How about we turn ourselves into snakes and scare them?" Adam said and suddenly turned into a huge rattlesnake, hissing at Draco who backed away at the sight of the rattler. Harry was pretty impressed, he was not, in fact, frightened of the snake in the least.
Harry hissed to the rattler in parseltongue 'I dooonnntt knooowwww howww toooo chhhaannnge'
The snake turned back into Adam and held his hands to Harry's and Draco's heads. Adam leaned into the boy's and whispered to them the incantation to turn into a snake, it was almost as easy as the transformation into a Thunderbird, they could see the transformation in their minds courtesy of a little spell Adam uttered and then all three agreed that they would turn into snakes when they got back into Adam's room.
So the birthday hi-jinx began a little early for the three of them. Since Neville had ran on ahead of them, he wouldn't be able to prank his friends. Draco was a little nervous about turning into such a loathesome creature and one that would cause a panic was not really his idea of fun. Harry on the other hand was dying to try it. He wanted to see the look on Ron's and Hermione's faces when they were confronted by 3 huge rattlesnakes instead of the three of them.
Adam got to his bed and threw off his cloak, he was still wearing his front and back cover and nothing else save for some moccasin shoes, he was stunning to look at and Harry and Draco both nodded and threw off their cloaks and they were wearing the same outfits. The adult sized Harry and Draco weren't small in the man's department and they both had strong long legs with high bubble butts. They were pretty easy on the eyes..
The two lovers jumped onto Adams bed and got on either side of Adam and then Harry shouted mentally to the other Thunderbirds,
'Oi, Tbirds, we're in Adam's room, come watch the sunrise with us'
'We're on our way Harry.' Hermione mentaled back
'Just come on in, don't bother knocking' Adam said
"Ok, draw the curtains, and you guys turn into snakes, when someone comes in, I'll call em over and I'll change too. How many of em do you wanna bet will pee their pants?" Adam asked enthusiastically, anxious for the pranking to begin.
Adam was begining to think that the Thunderbirds were not much fun, except Harry, Draco, Neville and Ginny and the twins of course were different, the other half dozen of them were kind of reserved and worried all the time.
This should change that. T1 was a good experience to bond them all together cohesively as a unit and the fact that no one was hurt, or more importantly caught by a Gr'up in the act... this was going to be fun.
Ron and Hermione were the first to come to Adam's room, when they came in, Hermione knocked while opening the door announcing herself.
"Adam. Harry. Draco? Where are you?"
"We're over here on the bed 'Mione, come on over and sssssssit" Adam turned into a snake and waited with Harry and Draco for their first victims.
"What are you doing on the be...AAAAAAGGHH!" Ron turned white and almost fainted when he saw the three rattlesnakes. He grabbed for his girlfriend who was behind him. Hermione froze in her place, her hand over her mouth almost like when she was petrified by the basilisk in second year.
Ron turned 'round and smacked straight into her knocking her onto the bed with the three great snakes that were now rattling their tales menacingly showing their fangs, sticking out their tongues. Harry couldn't take it any more and he changed back into his human shape and he laughed like a mad man. He forgot that he was only dressed in his Navajo outfit. Ron and Hermione were glaring at him for playing such a trick on them and then they too were beginning to see the humor in what had just happened and started to laugh.
"You bloody git, don't ever do that again! Now, tell me how you did it Harry Potter, or, I'll tell Mrs. Weasley that you don't like her cooking."
"Ha, she'd know you're fibbing! but it's like this.." Harry touched Hermoine's head like Adam had done to him and then he turned to Ron. "How about it Ron? You game?"
Ron was grinning by now, his laughter subsiding enough to understand the spell.
Before Ron transformed, he asked,
"Bloody hell, does this work for any animal transformation?"
Adam rattled his tail and nodded his head and stuck out his tongue, he hadn't turned back into a human and neither had Draco. Harry told Ron he had to get the others to come over to the bed full of snakes before he turned himself. It wasn't another 2 minutes before Greg, Vince, Blaise and Luna came into the room.
"Oi, where is everybody? The bloody closet?" Blaise shouted.
"Over here on the bed Zabini, er, Blaise" Ron corrected himself before he changed into a great snake too.
"What's going on over there Weasley? Who's there with y...AAAAAAAAAA!" Blaise screamed and he was the one to wet his pants. He was scared of snakes. Odd because he was Slytherin, but this was too many too close.
He ran into the brick wall that was Vince and Greg, Luna was behind them. She stepped to the other side of the bed from Blaise, mainly because she was interested and the boys were in the way causing a commotion. When Luna stepped to the side of the bed opposite Blaise, Greg and Vince got a look at what was on the bed. They turned to run and ran into the log that was Blaise Zabini, pants wet and all, Vince and Greg fell straight over the trembling full grown wet drawered man. Luna just stared at the three wizards on the floor and said,
"Honestly, can't you tell your friends from a bed full of snakes? You ever see a snake with grey eyes, green eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes? Hmmm you look like grown WIZARDS , but you act like 'ickle babies. You did make it through seven years worth of a Hogwarts education after all. You." Luna pointed at a snake, it was Hermione.
"Tell me how to do this, I have a bone to pick with George and Fred. Oh, Ginny will be so dissssssappointed" Luna laughed at here little joke. Hermione changed back into her human shape, which happened to have clothes on mind you,
"Luna how clever of you! Honestly, boy's. Blaise are you alright? Do you know a drying charm?" Luna and Hermione started to laugh out loud and the snakes on the bed just rattled their tails nodding their heads.
"Come on over here by the bed fellows and I'll show you the spell with Luna."
'Mione laughed a bit more and she was shaking her head back and forth she admonished the boys to approach the bed full of snakes quickly before the rest of the Weasleys got to the bedroom with Neville.
Ginny, Neville, George and Fred came into the room after the boys had changed into snakes. Luna set the trap this time. When the four approached Adam's bedroom, Luna could be heard over by the large bed at the far end of the room calling them. A bit worried, the four remaining TBirds quickly made it to the bedside and were shocked to see a ball of nine rattlesnakes all shaking their tails at them barring their fangs.
Neville fainted. Poor boy could have ran. George and Fred tried to look for their wands but they had been going wandless more and more due to thier transformation. Ginny wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to best her big brothers and she climbed into the middle of the ball of snakes on Adam's bed. While George and Fred were whining like little girls, Ginny cleared her throat and got their attention. They had to come back to the side of the bed but they kept their distance and were at least smart enough to remember that they could change into a Thunderbird if their lives depended on it. Thier little sister was just grinning at the two of them like they were a couple of sissies, "Afraid of snakes brothers mine?" she said for good measure.
"Oi! Ginny.." "get off" "the bed you" "crazy girl!" George and Fred said together.
Adam couldn't take it any more and he changed back into his normal form and was laughing with Ginny rolling with a bunch of snakes. Four of them were, sort of, but, well, you know, they were Thunderbirds now, not Slytherins. Little did they know.
"HAHAHAHAHA You guys are so gullible! Come on you snakes!"
The rest of the snakes changed back into their happy teen aged selves and no one seemed to notice or care really that 3 of the men were still almost naked. It didn't seem to bother them and no one mentioned anything. The sun was just barely making itself known by the faint light beneath the horizon to the east .
Draco, Adam and Harry put on bed robes and being a fire mage, Neville managed quite a nice fire in the fireplace despite security being how it had to be. There were great bars with razor sharp spikes over the grate to prevent un authorized floo entry into Malfoy Manor. That particular fireplace was never hooked to the network, but saboteurs, theoretically could do it. So the bars. Neville didn't seem to mind the hindrance. He just wandlessly put the wood into the fireplace and hit it with a wave of his finger. The wood burst into flame and the room began to warm nicely.
Harry wasn't wearing anything but his Navajo costume and his robes and he was standing behind Draco swaying back and forth looking out of the window waiting for the sun to rise thus making Draco strain at his constricting Navajo undergarments uncomfortably.
"Harry.." Draco whispered, "Stop that. I'm going to embarass myself soon. Here feel." Draco took Harry's hand and placed it on his rapidly swelling manhood.
"Draco, lets go to our room." Harry whispered back urgency in his voice. Draco could feel how urgent Harry was because he was in much the same shape. Draco nodded his head and the two bid the rest of the merry makers a short farewell. Everyone could tell that the two men were oblivious to the partying that was going on and wanted some alone time for a much more private encounter.
Draco was afraid that Harry was going to drop his robes right where they stood and take him standing at the window. He wasn't far from wrong when Draco finally turned to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Move it, scarhead" he said to Harry, his private nickname for Harry didn't register anything but his agreement to go shag Harry senseless. Draco grabbed his partner's hand and made for the door to Adams suite and out.
Harry had a glazed over look to his face, his eyes were only on Draco who was leading Harry by the hand to his bed. Draco waved his hand at his bedroom door and locked and silenced it. He wanted no interruptions for the next few hours. To make his point, he charmed a chair in the hallway to stand guard to keep people away from the door to his bedroom. It was his birthday and he was horny and he wanted a certain raven haired, green eyed man alone and naked.
Draco led Harry to his bed and discarded his robes and gave a tug on the small leather strap that was holding his "cover". Harry didn't have to be told twice what to do and he was on top of Draco in two heartbeats.
"Happy Birthday Draco. Will you marry me?" Harry said dreamily to his blond bond mate.
Draco almost pouted when he said,"You were going to ask mother's permission first and I wanted to watch you squirm while you did it."
"I'll squirm later, now, Will you marry me Draco Malfoy?"
"Of course I will. You do realize that..." Draco answered, his reply was cut off by a pair of lips on his, and a tongue in his throat. Harry came up for a breath and said
"You talk too much." and went about making love to Draco for the next two hours.
The Thunderbirds all felt spikes in the veryfabric of magic perhaps a half dozen times during that two hours, but they were glad that the spikes had stopped.
Harry and Draco's friends did not intrude into their thoughts until much later in the morning when the 11 other Thunderbirds decided that they had had enough alone time.
Adam and the other Thunderbirds had time to shower, dress for the day, and eat before Draco and Harry responded to thier mental calls for the two of them to get their lazy arses out of bed and start to celebrate their birthday.
The charms on Draco's door were quite effective but the house elves could get in, Adam had an idea. "Elf" Adam said and waited about three seconds before an elf with the big toothy grin was standing before him. "What can Toothy do for young master Prince Thundercloud?" Toothy squeaked at Adam.
Adam scowled at the elf briefly and broke out into a smile himself and he squatted so he was looking at the elf face to face on his level. "Little friend, please call me Adam in here or anywhere inside the manor when we are alone."
"Yes sir master Adam sir, Toothy will be most happy to do as you wish."
"That's good, I want you to show me how to get into master Draco's bedroom like an elf does." Adam had caught the elf being agreeable and he knew it. So did the elf when his ears started to sag a bit.
"I cannot show Adam sir how to do that sir"
"I already know how Toothy, I just want to know the route you take to get in there." Adam countered and smiled broadly at the elf. The elf looked at Adam in wonderment. He had never seen a wizard or witch that could snap in or out of a room.
"You is knowing how to snap Adam? How is this possible? Elf magic is supposed to be kept to elves." The elf realizing that he had talked back to Adam, started to bang his head on the floor saying "Bad Toothy he knows, he knows"
Adam stopped the elf from further injuring itself with a word, spoken in Elvish. The elf stopped immediately and understood what Adam had said. Toothy bowed and said,
"Prince Adam, this way if you is be pleasing."
Toothy took Adam by the hand and they both raised their hands, snapped out of sight and were in Draco's bedroom in an instant. Adam squatted down so he could whisper an elvish phrase in the elf's ear and the surprised elf was off in a ... snap.
Adam stood and looked at the tangle of arms and legs that was his brother and his cousin. They were naked and covered in the dried remains of their exhaustive lovemaking. Adam, being a prankster at heart, conjured two pans of luke warm water and levitated them to where Harry and Draco were 'stuck' together and sleeping and brought the water up to and immersing their hands which were dangling over the edges of the matress in the warm water. Adam just giggled to himself waiting for the reaction.
Less than thirty seconds had passed and Draco's eye's popped open. He made to untangle himself from Harry, urgency to go to the bathroom paramount in his mind. He was NOT going to wet the bed. Still unnoticed, Adam was giggling silently to himself, this was too funny. Harry had by this time awoken to the same urgency and started to untwine himself from Draco as well. What ensued was neither boys getting very far very fast. Adam chose this time to make his presense noted.
"Ahem" Adam said making Draco and Harry both notice him at once. Their nakedness not withstanding, both of the boys froze in the heap that they were in.
"Adam." Draco said, voice full of dignity, while in reality he looked like he had been shagged forty ways from Sunday.
"I'd like to introduce you to my fiance, Harry Potter." Harry grinned at his 'brother' when Draco called him that.
"You asked him. I was under the impression that you were goin' ta ask his ma first Harry." Adam exclaimed while Draco and Harry untwined themselves.
Still naked, Draco got up and headed to the bathroom before Harry had a chance to get away from Adam. Merlin love him for distracting Harry long enough for him to escape to relieve himself ahead of his lover.
"Weeeeeell, asking Mrs. Malfoy was really only a formality. I would marry Draco without her permission anyway. This way was a bit more personal and he said yes at least six times. I think he meant it." Harry said smiling at the memory that he would keep with him for the rest of his life.
"Aw, that's sweet. Here hun, cover your naked hunkiness up." Adam said to Harry, handing him the robe that was dropped by the bed in his hurry to make love to Draco.
Harry blushed finally realizing his situation. Harry blinked a few more times and reached for his glasses out of habit, the lenses replaced with clear glass after Harry's sight improved when he transformed.
"Adam, how did you get in here? I mean the door is locked and silenced." Harry asked.
"I'd rather like to know that bit of information myself if you don't mind." Draco said having come back to get into bed after relieving himself and washing his hands and face. He was still going full Monte and he didn't care.
"Elf secret. Can't tell or I'd have to punish myself." Adam said straight faced.
"Elves are no longer punished in this home." Draco countered."But, I can make an exception."
"I'll tell you what. If you ask Toothy to how to snap and he shows you , I'll show you how I got in here. That's the best I can do and still keep an oath." Adam said, now holding his chin up in defiance looking in the other direction.
"Well, if you'd excuse me, my bladder is about to burst." Harry said and got up naked as well, dropping what he had covered himself up with. Draco and Adam both looked at the very tight muscular behind and body of the raven haired man walking away to the bathroom.
"TMI brother" Adam shouted at the backside of Harry as he closed the door to the bathroom.
"Adam, kindly keep your eyes off of the body of my husband to be." Draco admonished his cousin while he was still looking where Harry had went. He turned to his cousin and said as sweetly as possible, "Get the hell out of here your highness. There's one more shag in me before we have to get up."
"You're already up and it's late. We're going shopping with Mr. Snape in like ten minutes ago. He's downstairs with your ma." Adam said.
Draco muttered something like 'oh merlin' in a pathetic voice. He was still pretty horny and he knew where a naked Harry was at that very moment. Adam noticed the state his cousin was getting into and got up and made for the door.
"Draco, I'd go into the bathroom and kill two birds with one stone if I were you. You've got less than a half an hour to be presentable for muggle London."
Adam said smiling and giggling. He got to the door and Draco had to unlock it for him. He was still smiling when he snapped his fingers and disappeared.
"Bloody git".
'I heard that Draco'.
