Enjoy...
Do Ya? Do Ya? Do Ya?
The dawn broke cold and damp from the morning fog around Hogwarts castle. Blaise and Neville were outside of Hagrid's hut keeping warm by a fire that Hagrid kept burning at all times. They were invisible and they were waiting for Bullstrode's cat to come dashing out of the castle. The two of them did not have long to wait for the charmed cat to pass.
The two Thunderbirds followed the cat inside the forest where they witnessed the mail being exchanged by a hooded figure. The cat was sent back towards the castle and the hooded figure walked rather quickly through the forest towards Hogsmeade. Blaise and Neville followed the wizard into and through the small community. The two had been on the road that cut the town in two many times not to know where they were.
In the last few days, the dark mark detectors around Britain and Europe were silent last evenings activity in Malta being the exception. Blaise pointed out where the detectors were hidden to Neville as they passed them. The wizard with the mail was walking very fast down the deserted muddy road towards where the detector upgrades were installed. The two of them followed the wizard for almost two kilometers out from under the town's wards.
Blaise and Neville were not ten paces behind the wizard they were following when another wizard in tattered robes stepped from behind a tree.
"I trust that you were not followed. Pity it would be for you to find your family under the Dark Mark," said the voice of the wizard Blaise and Neville were indeed out to follow.
"I've done as you've told me. Please leave my family alone. We'll go to America and will cause you no harm." The wizard that Blaise and Neville were following said.
"Your family shall remain safe as long as these letters are... safe," The voice threatened.
"Please, just take these from me and let me go."
"Just one thing before I touch them." The voice said while pulling his wand and uttering an incantation checking for magic. Noting that there was nothing detected, "the voice" took the bundle of letters from the young wizard and disapparated. Blaise and Neville were holding the hem of the wizard's robes when he disappeared and 'piggy backed' to an unknown destination without 'the voices' knowledge.
Blaise and Neville let go of the man when they apparated to the outside of an old dilapidated house, deep in foggy woods. The "voice" removed his hood and began to walk up to the old house. Neville could tell that there were wards surrounding the building and he mentally called to Blaise, 'Follow exactly in his footsteps Blaise, there are wards around the place I can almost see them. Do you know where we are?'
'I've got a sick feeling that Voldemort is inside there. Do you know who that wizard is?'
'I have heard his voice before, and he has a silver hand did you notice?'
'Oh bugger, that's Peter Pettigrew. Let's get out of here, I can get us back.' Blaise thought to Neville.
The two Thunderbirds did not want to risk apparating so close to the wards over the dark lair and possibly alerting them. Neville and Blaise watched as Pettigrew disappeared inside the old house before they made their own escape. The two of them wanted so much to investigate their discovery. They were out of mental conversation range with the others or they would have tried to contact someone and would have stayed put observing every coming and going. They had hit the jackpot and they needed to get the information quickly to Dumbledore et al. The walk under the canopy of trees was a silent one. Blaise and Neville remained invisible and were far enough away to disapparate without drawing attention to their activity.
Fred and George were on the quidditch pitch on their battle brooms knocking a bludger back and forth without clubs. They could be the most dangerous beaters on the planet if they were so inclined. The twins could see the gates to the school and they saw the magical signatures of Blaise and Neville flash just outside them. Once inside the grounds, Neville and Blaise snapped to their common room. Fred and George landed their brooms and snapped there too.
"Did you two" "find anything interesting?" Fred and George said to Nev and Blaise who were by the fireplace warming their hands.
The common room was empty save for the four Thunderbirds.
"We were wondering, you know Harry pretty good, how do you think he'll react when he finds out Peter Pettigrew is the one collecting the Slytherins mail and he's been threatening a wizard's family to be the go between. Pettigrew knows that wizarding homes and villages have dark mark detectors. We followed him to some old house, I know where it is now and so does Neville here," Blaise said.
"Harry will want" "To kill Pettigrew" "Better tell him now."
'Harry, Draco, we're back' Blaise thought to his friends.
"We're right here. What did you find out?" Harry said looking at Neville's enigmatic expression.
"Harry," Neville began, "Peter Pettigrew is the one collecting the mail, and we know where he possibly is right now," Neville said.
"We'll have to have some aurors investigate this one. We still need to wait for him to come to us, but knowing where he goes is very helpful. I will see that Pettigrew gets what's coming to him. A dementor's kiss would be easier on him." Harry said with flashing emerald eyes. Merlin's own magic was coursing through his body unnoticed he would... soon enough. Draco appeared after Harry had already heard the news and was brought up to speed quickly. He was as worried how Harry would take that particular news and it appeared he was doing quite well with it. The two Thunderbirds described Pettigrew's silver hand and the ratty looking facial expression living as a rat for twelve years caused him they mused laughing.
Draco was not as worried as he thought he was. Harry, Draco, and the others sat at their common room dining table and ate a late breakfast, or at least Blaise and Neville did. Harry's stomach had been bothering him and he did not want to throw up again so he passed on the food and stuck to hot chocolate. Draco thought that Harry should see Ginny or Madame Pomphrey to see what they thought. Harry had not spent one night in the infirmary this year so far, a record for him, and that's what bothered him. Things were going too good for him so he agreed with Draco and promised to see Ginny after lunch... if he could eat it.
The missing Thunderbirds were teaching classes that morning and that made for a less crowded headmaster's office when Harry spoke the new password, easy enough, peppermint twists. It was getting close to the time of the year when spirits were supposed to be rich. Christmas was a holiday shared by muggles and wizards alike and it seemed that Dumbledore's Christmas spirit was alive and well... and early. The Thunderbirds followed the King and his Consort up the moving stairs until they stopped at the top and Dumbledore's office. Draco knocked on the door for Harry who was feeling a bit urpy from the twisting stair ride to the top.
"Come in Thunderclouds, come in," came Dumbledore's voice from behind the door.
'How does he do that?' Harry wondered
'He knows everything' 'why would you be' 'surprised' Fred and George thought back following their companions.
'I'll do the talking' Harry mentally ordered... kind of.
'You always do love' Draco said looking at the queasy look go out of Harry's expression. Perhaps he felt a bit better.
"Peppermint twist?" The headmaster offered everyone.
"No thank you sir, we know how and who has been sending and receiving mail from the outside and who is responsible for it. Peter Pettigrew was the one that Blaise and Neville witnessed and followed to who knows where" Harry began his rant and continued for a good five minutes not once being interrupted.
Harry did not know it, but it was good to be King sometimes and Dumbledore did know it but respected Harry's wishes and treated him as he always did... usually. Harry finished his rant with what he thought they could do and what he thought he should do when it came to dealing with the offenders. The information they could be passing is public knowledge in school unless someone wants to blab to a wizarding newspaper, there was nothing that Harry or Draco did to be ashamed of.
"Harry, your ideas are quite sound in respect to the students that have been receiving unauthorized mail. I think we could probably accommodate the ones you mentioned quite nicely on the side of the light their 'gray area could finally be obliterated for them. Their own decisions would determine their fate once it is revealed to them. I think we can expect them to make the right choices once they know where they legally stand." Dumbledore came to the point quickly for him.
"You do sir?" Harry asked, as if another weight lifted from his shoulders.
"Indeed. The thirteen of you Thunderbirds will make fine statesmen some day," Dumbledore subtly said.
"It looks like that may have to be Draco's and my fate, but I don't know about the others desires much. I think the wizarding world is going to be overwhelmed and transformed by new products that these two come up with. Blaise and Neville have plans in wizarding industry. Ginny one day will be a great healer. She's almost as good as Poppy when it comes to finding out what's ailing you and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to pour a potion but it does when it comes to being the wizard making them.
Neville and Severus will probably do a lot with the Sampson's Hair in potions that will make our lives full, rich, and long. After the war is over and Voldemort is gone, I don't care if they want to sit on their bums for the rest of their lives, they can spend it with Draco, the children and I, if they want. We couldn't possibly ever spend all we have." Harry said fondly looking at his friends and his husband.
"You have no idea how much our world will change in the future once the threat is gone once and for all. Our world did quite well the last time you handed Voldemort his hat," Dumbledore said from over his half moon glasses smiling at Harry.
"If I have anything to do with it, it will again," Harry said finally taking a seat.
"I'm sure you'll try your best Harry. Your parent's would have been proud of you. You know that don't you?" Dumbledore said.
"Well if their portraits are any indication of what could be, then I'm sure they would be quite proud of all of us."
"So right you are. I have to inform the Minister of these developments. I am sure that we can come to some sort of resolution. Empress Thundercloud and I will discuss your ideas this afternoon. Should I pass along any messages to her?" Dumbledore said sitting up as the Thunderbirds stood to leave the office and join their house as it entered the Great Hall for lunch.
Harry and the others did not see because they were not looking for it, but Harry's aura was pulsing. He felt quite good, had a good appetite, and was ready for some food. He managed not to throw up that morning but then, he was still a bit iffy. He held onto Draco's arm and not the other way around and that signaled to Draco that it was necessary for him to decide where Harry walked. Into a wall or off a cliff, it would not matter; he would go where Draco did. If it was going to be hell then, bring it on. That minute, Harry was grateful for Draco's attention to detail as they made their way to their house on the third floor.
Draco tried to cheer up Harry a bit when he asked, "Harry, did you know, Ron didn't know he could have used a charm to stop the stairs from moving? We knew that in first year. Severus told us it was supposed to be hush-hush. Slytherins never go above the first few floors unless it is into the divination tower. Even then, we were forced to do it. Nevertheless, we never went much beyond Ravenclaw. Gryffindor Tower was too far out of the way and we would never go into Hufflepuff territory. Even the best of us could not stand it. It is horrible there with little bunnies and horses painted on the walls every few steps."
"I didn't know that about the Hufflepuffs. You said you knew first year?" Harry asked turning a bit red as they entered their common room.
"Yes, do you want to rub it in a bit? Might be fun to see him turn Gryffindor red," Draco said trying to get Harry to smile a bit.
"I didn't know first year either. We both found out how to stop the whomping willow third year but didn't think about using it on the staircases. We're not supposed to do magic in the hallways." Harry said evasively.
"Key words, 'not supposed to' love." Draco said as they got back up from their two-tic sit and walked out of the common room with their house for lunch.
"I thought they could tell who did what if it happened in the hallway," Harry said holding Draco's arm again.
Hermione was listening to the very inattentive Harry babble on like she usually did, but she was curious as to what Harry was talking about. He told her and Hermione laughed. She knew of course because it was in Hogwarts, a History and the two of them had a nice little chat while Draco filled Harry's plate for him. He was having parental instinct problems missing the babies as he did, and Harry did quite nicely as a substitute. They had a short mental conversation with everyone about what had gone on that morning outside of Hogsmeade and in Dumbledore's office.
The Thunderbirds ended their mental meeting and went about eating their meals as if nothing was going on. It was possible to eat and communicate at the same time. Ron slipped in a few, "Bloody hell's and this is good's" innocently enough, but he overwhelmed the Thunderbirds with how good it was, shedding magic too. His mage powers seemed to be evolving and he was sharing his emotions, good and bad lately. When he was close to you, you felt the same thing without knowing why. 'Spooky' they all thought, giving Ron a good ribbing.
Harry hadn't felt this good since... yesterday's lunch when he felt damn good after puking a few times behind closed doors. He was feeling quite energetic and it was going to be a weekend and he 'said' he was going to rest tomorrow, he felt fine, no, he felt great. Hermione and Draco commented that the sour expression on Harry's face was gone and he had some color in his cheeks. Hermione did not put up with Harry's shenanigans and she mentally called Ginny on the spot. Hermione's concern, whether he wanted it or not, was "not his concern" he was informed. Draco had a new admiration for Hermione at that point. It was tactical in judgment and execution the way she handled Harry. He secretly thought she would have been a great Slytherin, if it were not for the muggle blood thing.
Ginny got up from her seat; she had finished eating her three plates full. She was dieting and holding back. Harry on the other hand, had his plate filled seven times, ate three puddings, and washed it all down with milk. Harry never drank milk voluntarily usually and she noticed right off.
She put her hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"You're fucking aura is pulsing, have you been letting Draco bugger you?" Ginny asked quietly.
Harry nodded his head and Ginny stood up.
She said, "Come to the infirmary at four this afternoon, you need a check up." and walked back to her seat to finish her pudding before Neville got his spoon in and finished it for her. It was one of her favorites, Chocolate Sin Cake.
Harry was apt to agree about the pudding but he was a bit put off by how Ginny asked him letting the ones close hear her... almost and Draco was paying very, very close attention.
"What was that all about?" Draco whispered.
"I don't know. It's Hermione's fault! I didn't do nothing." Harry whispered back.
"Anything."
"Anything what?"
"I didn't do anything."
"I didn't say you did. What are you on about? I said it's Hermione's fault and I didn't do nothing."
"Anything, It's 'I didn't do anything, Not nothing. You'd never do that."
"I'm sorry Draco, I didn't mean nothing by it."
"Anything dear, it's anything, not nothing"
A few tears leaked down Harry's face and he whispered, "Don't get mad at me please Draco."
'I'm not angry with you Harry. I shouldn't correct you. It's the King's English after all isn't it?' Draco in an attempt to keep Harry from embarrassing himself.
'Thanks for that love.' Harry mentaled and he leaned over and licked Draco's lip, where there was a smudge of Chocolate Sin Cake Harry had spotted earlier then followed it up with a quick snog.
'You're more than welcome and you don't kiss me enough in public Harry.'
'I'll try to do better in that department Draco' Harry mentaled back his love and Draco felt it.
'I'll try to help you along with that then.'
"You almost finished everyone?" Harry asked as he stood up.
Adam looked him straight in the face for the first time that day and he saw his aura pulsing three times then glowing, pulsing three times then glowing, pulsing three times and glowing. If Harry were a muggle neon sign, he would be a good one. He saw Ginny talking to Harry just earlier and he wondered about what. It was not his business yet. He dished with Ginny and Luna and they cannot keep secrets from each other by lying so, he just listens to them gab then he throws in his barbs at the Slytherin girls. It was all a matter of timing.
Ginny would not intentionally spill the beans when it came to something important, but she would if you got her to relax. He was going to hate to tell her that one day but, with Harry pulsing now, he only needed Ginny to confirm what he expected it to be. The Thunderbirds usually left together the same way they arrived and if they had something to do, they did it; otherwise, it was up to their rooms for a change of clothes. Harry and Draco did not have a thing to do so he mentioned a nap might do him good. He gave Draco the eye, and the two of them joined hands and left the common room for some "sleep". The Thunderbirds went about their afternoon business and off to class if they were teaching.
Harry and Draco entered their bedchamber and much to Draco's surprise Harry crawled into the bed and went to sleep, this was not normal. He was going to see Madame Pomphrey that afternoon if Draco had anything to do about it. Harry was King and 'only the best for him' was Draco's opinion if it weren't for the fact that the two of them really, really enjoyed their 'play time', and Draco's engine was revving, Harry was sleeping and he thought putting some things in order were the proper thing to do. Harry was the powerful one and Draco controlled the power. When the power is on the fritz, you fix what it is to make it run smoothly and move on. Right now, Draco had solid oak woodie and no one to share it with. He was going to turn his sexual frustration into something productive with as much energy. Four in the afternoon could not come fast enough for him.
Draco silenced the room and locked the door after he wrote Harry a quick note and charmed it to float in the air above his husband's sleeping body. The common room was empty and he crossed quickly and out the door. His footsteps on the stairs could not be heard, the leather heels on his alligator boots were silenced by a charm. Draco headed to the broom locker and the quidditch pitch for some furious flying and some quiet alone time. Harry was napping and that was a good thing but something kept nagging at him.
Draco's maniacal broom riding lasted for about an hour and he felt much more calm but still as concerned about Harry's health and the eventual final battle that was coming. The two things were intimately related and after an hour of flying, he had sorted out a few things he wanted to bring to the others attention. Draco flew to the window he leapt from earlier and stored the broom in its locker and made his way down the hall and up into the common room. His eyes were centered on the door to his suite when it opened from within. Harry was holding the message and rubbing his eyes when he bumped into Draco.
"I got your message." Harry said.
"I see you did love. Did you sleep well? You don't feel ill do you?" Draco said pushing a lock of hair out of Harry's face smiling at his husband.
"I feel fine really. Not at all, like in the mornings lately. Ginny asked me..." Harry stopped.
"Asked you what love? Can't be anything bad can it?"
"No, not bad, not at all, she asked me if I've let you bugger me in the last few weeks or so." Harry said.
As if something hit Draco smack in the back of his head, Draco's eyes narrowed and he got a very perplexed look on his face when he realized something he should have known straight away. He looked into Harry's green eyes and smiled a very happy smile.
"Harry, I think that we will be increasing the size of our family sooner than we expected."
"What are you on about? You think I, am going to have a baby? That couldn't happen could it?"
"It takes a very powerful wizard to do what we've already done love. I don't suppose you think that my magic is stronger than yours is do you?"
"No but what does that have to do with anyth..." Harry stopped and got the same deer in the headlights look that Draco just had on his face. "You mean you think I'm up the duff?"
"Well I wouldn't put it in words like that Harry. We are married you know." Draco laughed as he turned Harry back into the room and out of the doorway and hall.
Draco closed the door still holding Harry's waist moving the two of them to the bed much as the way he has been doing lately and sat the two of them down.
"Oh won't this be rich. I wonder how long we can keep this from the others," Harry asked now seeing the amusement about his predicament.
"Indeed. I suppose with the way things are, perhaps we should gain counsel before we make any decisions. Besides, we don't know for sure yet. That's why we're going to the infirmary at four."
"Bloody hell we're not! We're going straight away," Harry said from besides his husband. "We're going to get to the bottom of this right now."
"It seems that's how it happened. Yes, let's go but first, you should put on some more clothes. Comfortable loose ones mind. Poppy will probably have her fingers all over your belly."
"You mean Ginny."
"No, I mean Poppy. If you are with child, Poppy should do the testing. Trust me on that one."
"Well, if you say so Draco. You can help me prepare for what I can expect."
"I'll do what I can."
"Looks like maybe you did all you needed to hehehehe."
"Oh look who's making jokes now. You just wait until you have to start to sit to pee."
"Why would I need to sit to do that?"
"When you can't see what you're doing you'll know. Trust me on this, I found out the hard way."
"Piss your leg wet or something love?"
"Something like that." Draco said leaning in for a kiss.
Draco's frustration was back with a vengeance and Harry noticed his husbands predicament when he reached into his trousers and stroked the lengthening shaft that possibly got him pregnant.
"Looks like you're up to some play time love." Harry murmured into Draco's ear while he stroked his finger under Draco's foreskin teasing his husband unmercifully.
"We still have a little less than two hours before we have to be downstairs. Can you think of anything you'd like to do?" Draco said unbuttoning his shirt and belt buckle to give Harry better access.
"I can think of a few things I'd like to do." Harry finished.
The two wizards spent the next half of an hour just getting themselves heated up. Everyone in Hogwart's castle was experiencing some of the good feelings emanating from their bedchamber and they did not really care because they were of a single mind in two bodies and nothing else mattered. They finished their lovemaking after the two of them had had each other once each. Hogwarts was really getting hot and bothered in that afternoon's classes and everyone's attention spans were shortened by fleeting carnal daydreams, even the firsties were affected by the magical bursts that were simultaneous with Harry and Draco's orgasms. The two wizards felt quite sated considering the time of day and took a nice hot shower together.
The scent of roses filled the steaming bathroom and seemed to calm both the King and his Consort as they dressed. Draco put his pant's on one leg at a time while Harry watched him with a very contented look on his face Harry pulled his shirt over his head and Draco had his hands close to the sides of Harry's head uttering some sort of charm drying and styling somewhat Harry's unruly mop of hair. Harry was truly grateful for that, because he really sucked at grooming charms. He didn't really but he lacked the eye to accomplish what needed to be done and gave up easily . Draco finished grooming Harry and the two of them put their towels in hampers and opened the door reentering their chamber. The two wizards put on the muggle sneakers they bought earlier in the summer, and the cloaks they always wore now signifying their royal status. Neither Harry nor Draco cared to wear their crowns but if the ceremonial need arisen they would wear them. A visit to the infirmary hardly warranted the necessity.
"I'm ready to go f-find out if I'm pregnant." Harry said waveringly.
"Don't be scared love, it will be alright. You will be just fine." Draco said trying to reassure Harry.
The two incredibly powerful wizards could have the world on a string if they wanted, but they were content to be parents, good rulers, and good men. The walked slowly to the infirmary much as they did lately and Draco soothed Harry's nerves while they walked. The two passed through the hallways and passageways to the infirmary completely unmolested. Classes were still in session. When they opened the doors to the infirmary, Hermione, Ginny, Professor Dumbledore, Prof.'s McGonagall, Snape and the Minister of Magic, 'the mother' were there to greet the two of them.
Harry and Draco's surprised look was amusing to everyone there and they all had a big chuckle out of the royal pair. The two of them were promptly taken to a private room where Poppy could do some testing. Adam opened the infirmary door about sixty seconds later and joined the group of people seemingly just standing around chatting. Harry and Draco were nowhere to be seen when he said,
"Sorry I'm late. Did either of you two see his aura pulsing?" Adam asked the female Thunderbirds there.
"I was ready for when he got here." Hermione said.
"I could already, pulsing; your mum might like to find this out soon," Ginny said.
Professor Dumbledore overheard the part of their conversation about informing Birdy of the day's occurrences and he hadn't made his usual daily call yet. He stepped up and said quietly, "I shall tell her of any news if Madame Pomphrey finishes soon."
"Thank you Mr. Dumbledore." Adam said to the old wizard.
"No problem at all. I'm sure that she won't mind waiting for her daily call." Dumbledore said and turned to speak further with Severus and Narcissa.
"I bet my ma will go apeshit when she hears," Adam said to the two witches.
"I wouldn't go so far as to say that Adam. Your mother is a bit calmer than that," Hermione said.
"I would. She's capable of anything." Adam said rolling his eyes and making them wide to press the point.
The two groups of wizards and witches were only waiting for about fifteen minutes when Draco and Poppy came out of the little exam room. Draco made his way to them all with an enormous grin plastered on his face. He looked hot in his Levi's, sneakers and the sweater he was wearing and the smile he wore made him look incredible.
"You can congratulate us later. You wouldn't mind more grandchildren would you mother?" Draco said stepping in front of a bouncing Narcissa.
"Not at all Draco, as many as you'd like." Narcissa said when Draco leaned down to kiss her.
"Thank you grandmama," Draco said standing surrounded by smiles ready to gang up on him at any second.
"Well, do you lot think that the Thunderbirds could take being godparents once again?" Draco said
"Of course Draco We love the ones you have now and we'll love the new ones just as much." Ginny said.
"Just think Draco before you were just a daddy. Now you're going to get to be a father." Hermione said.
"I'll kick their asses for them if they don't. Hermione, I have noticed a little something about you too. Is there something you want to tell us?" Adam said turning the attention away from Draco.
Harry had joined everyone almost un-noticed. Draco saw him coming and held out his hand when Harry heard Adam talking.
"Yes Hermione, tell us what?" Harry said suddenly from beside Draco.
"Oh no you guys. Do not even try to go there. Harry it is you that has everyone all excited. You better tell Mrs. Weasley straight away." Hermione said turning the attention away from her.
"I'll tell her. First thing in the morning, I'll send her an owl." Harry said finishing buttoning up his robes for warmth.
The late November chill was in the air almost all the time now unless the sun was shining and Harry never really liked the cold that much. He did not mind it usually but now he knew why he felt chilled. Draco noticed and he used his skills as a mage to warm Harry up. After Harry was comfortable, he locked a charm over Harry and he would not have to worry about being cold again for a long while. Harry noticed the warm air surrounding him and smiled at his husband's thoughtfulness.
"Thank you for this Draco" Harry said.
"That's what I'm here for love, that's to please you." Draco said kissing Harry's cheek.
"And thank you for that. I promise that later I'll thank you properly." Harry whispered back into Draco's pointed, Elven ear.
Harry turned his attention to the leaders of government in the wizarding British Isles and stepped up to them, Draco following this time.
"I was kind of surprised that you all were so interested in something so routine." Harry said to the much older and wiser wizards and witches.
"It is not everyday that your King finds himself 'with child' Mr. Potter-Malfoy." Professor McGonagall said stressing the words "with child".
"It's just barely three weeks since we had seven children already. Who knows how many children Draco and I can churn out in a bloody year." Harry said suddenly bursting into tears.
Draco embraced Harry and pulled his face into his chest to let him have a cry. He stroked Harry's hair and looked at a very concerned Minerva who looked as if she had said something horribly wrong.
"You've nothing to worry about Harry, we can have as many children as we like, and we're not churning out babies. Professor McGonagall, you didn't say anything wrong." Draco said now rocking Harry back and forth.
Dumbledore and Severus were taking in the amusing scene before them and encouraged Narcissa to intervene.
"Go on. What did Draco call you? Grandma?" Severus urged Narcissa.
"It was Grandma-ma," Narcissa said pointing her nose skyward and turning a bit to put her hand on Harry's back. "Harry, you and Draco have my permission to give me as many grandchildren as you'd like. Dear, please don't cry in front of your subjects." Narcissa finished.
"Th-thank y-you mum. That means alot to me. Subjects?" Harry said pulling his head up looking at Narcissa with a wet face and a snot bubble coming from his nose.
Not missing a step, Draco gave Harry his handkerchief to dry his eyes and blow his nose and get off his mothers comment about subjects. Gratefully, Harry did just that and handed it back to Draco. Much to Narcissa's surprise, Draco took the snotty wet rag and stuffed it back into his pocket.
'He must truly love that boy in his arms.' Narcissa thought to herself while she stroked Harry's back waiting for him to calm a bit.
Poppy gave Draco a number of vials of a mild calming draught for Harry to take whenever he got emotional or nauseated. Draco used only a few vials of the potion himself but he was not Harry and accepted the vials from the mediwitch without question. He gave Harry one of the vials and encouraged him to take it. Dinnertime approached quickly and he did not want Harry to eat without taking it. It would help in the morning when he was 'busy' barfing.
Harry took the vial and downed it in one gulp and instantly he melted into Draco's arms feeling much more together. It would not do for him to be off center with a war on. He felt much better in minutes and lifted himself from Draco's chest looking around the room he had been guided into moments before. He looked into Draco's eyes and smiled. Draco leaned down and kissed Harry tenderly on the lips. The two did not speak aloud or mentally their eyes did all the talking for them. Harry's eyes Draco noticed were pulsing green and gold and wondered if his eyes did the same.
"No." Harry said.
"No what love?"
"Your eyes didn't pulse. Are mine pulsing?"
"I didn't open the link to say anything Harry."
"I heard you plain as day."
"Well, there's something new." Draco said with a half-puzzled look on his gob.
"Close your mouth love. It is no big thing. We should tell Poppy."
"I think we should tell Birdy and my mother. Maybe one of them will know what to do."
"Well, we should keep this to as few people as possible."
"We will. Maybe Severus or Dumbledore may have an idea."
"If it becomes a problem we'll inform them. If Birdy or your mother tells them, then that's up to them too. It is no big thing. We talk to each other all the time anyway like this."
"I agree with you, Birdy and then mum if necessary."
"Deal. Now. If you don't mind, I'd like a really good snog and we can get out of here," Harry said to his husband.
"I'm only too happy to comply. Come here. Mmmmmuuuuuaaaaahhhh!" Draco exaggerated.
"Eew, I might have to eat alone tonight."
"Hehehe that was a bit much wasn't it?"
"Yes, now do it properly. I think I'm going to like this."
"Mmm, my kissing you?"
"No, more like you kissing my arse for however long this emotional stuff lasts"
"I wasn't this emotional Harry, and you didn't kiss my arse."
"Did too, And I gave it a lick... just the other night, I mpph..." Harry was about to embarrass himself and Draco, but Draco's lips shut up his ramblings.
When the two parted Draco said, "That," Draco began and gave Harry a peck on the lips, "was proper. Don't tell me it wasn't because I can feel little Harry right here and he says so."
"Do you always grope your King when you're kissing him?"
"When the need arises, then, kiss, grope, yes."
"You're silly Draco and I'm hungry now. That potion is amazing, I feel good, quite calm too."
"Now you're being silly. Let's go your Majesty." Draco said with a bow.
"Look who's talking. Let's get your bum off the bed and out of here. I'm sure the others are still out there."
"I wouldn't bet on that. Maybe Adam and the girls are."
"That's enough."
"Aye"
The two royal wizards opened the door and stepped through to the eyes of eleven Thunderbirds who had been called by Adam to join them to show support to Harry and Draco. The news was known so that obvious embarrassing pause was over in a flash and they were ushered to the Great Hall. Thundercloud house was waiting on either side of the corridor the infirmary is on when its door has opened or the Thunderbirds emerged completely as one.
Harry was still holding Draco's arm for direction; he just followed along, as he was prone to do. He was barely a parent three weeks and now, if he was to follow suit with Draco, in less than four months and he would be daddy and father all over again only this time, he would gain the magic the children stored within themselves until they were born. It was a confirmed multiple birth, but how many it was hard to tell. At least two for sure but maybe more. They were going to have to get together with Luna later and ask her why she did not predict something like this. Just not a supper time ambush on their favorite seer.
Slytherin house was much quieter these past days. Professor Snape gave them the emancipation speech earlier and it seemed they were all still thinking it over so they were quiet. Not unusual at all, since the first of the year when the completely new house was concerned, they were quiet a lot.
Supper was over with in a blink and a number of things of interest did come up as they talked mentally when it might be something strategic, or in these cases, personal. One of the things were the fact that Hermione has been ill mornings too and very stand offish about her mornings over the sink. Another thing was that Hermione and Ron did not wed on Samhain like the one they planned and the Thunderbirds wanted to do something about that right away. It seemed to them that time was wasting. Ron and Hermione both were red faced that their friends would treat them this way but took it like the troopers that they were. They did not mind the fuss really, but the two of them realized that the coronation was to happen on Samhain and the two could manage another time. Important it was, but not a necessary thing. They could wait.
Fred and George had teased Ron with dirty limericks for the better part of the meal and had not said the same one twice keeping everybody in good spirits. Harry was really enjoying Ron's brothers ribbing and he joined in on a few of the limericks that were a bit rude. Ginny got Luna to conjure her camera and she clicked a few candid shots of Ron going six shades of red when Harry said something disgusting. She had heard them all and knew the cue spots by nature now. Cannot be a Weasley and not. Ron was giving away the fact that something was going to be dirty by how red he would turn. Hermione kept her hand over her mouth hiding a smile and holding in a laugh.
Draco was happy that Harry was enjoying the meal. Soon it would not be just meals that he would have to eat, Protein drinks seemed to do Draco some good and he made sure that Harry had one at supper and he instructed that more be upstairs in the common room icebox for handy access. He was not going to miss a step in caring for Harry. He somehow felt like an expert now.
Thundercloud house had finished their suppers and pudding and rose to leave the Great Hall before everyone else had. Many made to leave with them when Dumbledore rose to his feet and said, "Hogwart's students seventh year and under, remain seated for a few announcements." The students sat back down and waited for the headmaster to say his thing and let them go. Thundercloud house was gone and the doors were closed before he began his announcements.
The Thunderbirds had gone invisible just after they were out of sight of the Great Hall and doubled back to enter before the doors closed. The Thunderbirds had sprung the trap on the guilty 'mail transgressors' and Dumbledore was going to hammer in the nail to the coffin. There were thirteen of them besides Pansy and Theodore Nott and they all had an invisible Thunderbird behind them waiting for them to make the expected move to the doors.
When Dumbledore mentioned there was illegal correspondence there was a stir amongst the students and fifteen of them were looking very guilty. Dumbledore offered possible solutions to problems and the students knew who they were and could go to their head of house to discuss their options. The Thunderbirds were not necessary after all and they made their move to the doors to the Great Hall waiting for them to open when someone got to them. Dumbledore said that they should all go and think over some of their actions and ask them what they would do if in his shoes faced with the same problem. That really got to them in a big way. If Pansy and Theodore were any good at all at persuasion, then tonight's 'Snake Pit' would be very interesting.
Frankie was startled a bit by an invisible hand on his shoulder and he jumped. Adam was behind him and he bent down to his friends ear and whispered, "If you're done eating, go open the door so we can get out when Mr. Dumbledore is done talking," the voice said. Frankie knew who it was an simply nodded.
The abrupt conversations in the Great Hall covered the whisper and Frankie got up out of his seat and headed for the doors. He realized that there were many invisible witches and wizards in front of him and he walked along the wall hoping not to bump into any of them. He was well spotted before he got to the doors to the Great Hall and opened them. He left walking quickly to one side to avoid being stepped over by the invisible group. He could hear the giggling as they passed. He thought, 'You guys are barmy' and walked to his common room. He was not long waiting for Benny and the two of them got to their common room together talking about what happened over supper. The two youngsters were going to do their homework and sit in the common room to listen to the older students. Justin did not mind and he seemed to run their social group.
The Thunderbirds snapped onto the third floor invisibly and lifted their charms walking up the stairs to their common room. Thundercloud house being mostly American was saying something about that Thursday being some sort of holiday and wanted to have roast turkey and cranberry sauce for supper. As long as it included tortilla's, Draco was all for it. It was explained to the Euro's, that's what the Americans called them, all about the day of thanks in America and how it came to be. It was American holiday that they adopted, not one of their own traditions but it would remind them of home.
Prince Running Bear loved Princess Little White Dove with sky big love that wouldn't die, and it was he that had requested from his Sioux family that there be sent, enough turkey and fixings to feed six hundred people. The Sioux sent enough for a thousand meals complete with treats and they were already cooked, saved under a stasis spell ready to serve waiting in a store room in the kitchens. The house elves were happy to store the huge volume of food because they didn't have to cook it.
Thundercloud house was easy to get along with no matter whom you sat with. They were all the same at the war college. Many would call them cadets the way they entered and left meals together every day. Today's news was the buzz of the common room during the early evening and immediately there was a betting pool as to when, how many, what sex, weight, length, etc., etc. The Thunderbirds were not above betting but not even one of them would bet Luna a knut so she kept out of the whole thing and sat with Blaise who had out a muggle pen and a pad of paper writing down the bets he was willing to take.
Luna largely ignored the betting chatter while sitting next to Blaise and tried to pay attention to what she was trying to read. It was a book on sixteenth century seer's and it was upside down as usual. She hadn't had a good vision in a while and out of the blue, she was faced with a good one. She mentaled Hermione and Ginny to come join her away from Blaise. Rising quickly the two witches joined their friend and what she had to offer. Luna had found an empty couch and sat in the middle of it. Hermione and Ginny were with her in seconds and they sat on either side of the all seeing witch.
"What's up Luna? Anything good? Bad?" Ginny asked out of the side of her mouth.
"Just help me tune this in. It looked sexy." Luna whispered.
Ginny and Hermione both yawned and stretched their hands to Luna's back and joined hands over her shoulders. They leaned in and the three joined hands in front so no one could bother them. Hermione cast a quick notice me not charm on them and they helped Luna unfog her minds eye. In a few seconds the three witches gasped quietly, the sight that they were seeing was going on right now in Harry and Draco's suite.
The three of them watched through their connection with closed eyes what was happening before them. Harry and Draco were in the bath tub naked as their birth day. The two of them were gently washing each other with huge sponges full of bubbles and kissing and stroking each other's chests playing with nipples it looked like. The romantic room was filled with a thousand burning candles of all shapes and sizes and Draco was holding his soul mate by the hand leading him out of the tub. What the three witches saw made them blush with their eyes closed. Blaise could feel the warmth coming from a few seats away from him and he noticed despite the charm, the three blushing witches gazing at something. He'd ask later, but right now, there were many more bets to take. His pools were a win-win for him. He only collected a commission. Blaise didn't need the money but he did enjoy his betting hobby and he looked away without a second look.
Draco and Harry spent five minutes drying each other because of the kissing and touching. Luna was able to focus on their upper bodies while she watched. Harry and Draco were both becoming aroused and she drew the line there. She only cared to see Blaise that way. Ginny was a bit disappointed and Hermione laughed at her in her mind. Luna told them both to hush.
Draco and Harry were still licking and sucking what ever available skin they could reach with their lips and tongues when Harry got a funny feeling. He leaned into Draco and whispered in his ear what he suspected was going on. Draco didn't let his body betray him when he just leaned back and reached towards the towel rack and raised all the towels from their stowage and surrounded the two of them until they were through.
When the view was obscured, Luna opened her eyes and broke the connection she had. Ginny and Hermione let go and the three of them wiped their cheeks with their hands. To them if Harry and Draco scolded them for peeking while they bathed it would be worth it. Neville and Blaise and Ron were going to get their bones jumped big time by the three horny witches only they just didn't know it yet.
Harry and Draco made an appearance in Thundercloud's common room. There were many whistles and short bursts of applause when the King and his Consort entered. The two royals, bowed at the shoulders and smiled at everyone looking for... the female Thunderbirds. There were several people standing close to Harry and Draco but when they moved, there, big as day were the three guilty looking witches on the couch behind Blaise and now George and Fred. Ginny looked up and saw four eyes looking straight at the three of them. She barely had time to warn Hermione and Luna before Harry and Draco were in front of them in their evening loungewear. Harry opened his robe to close it better and his pouch of stones was seen by Luna briefly.
"Harry, you have something flashing in your medicine bag." Luna said. Her stones weren't flashing.
"They weren't a minute ago. I'll see.." Harry said undoing his robe and now drawing the attention to him. Hermione glanced over Luna's shoulder at Ginny and raised her eyebrows wondering where this was going to go.
"I'll be darned, there is a glowing flashy one in there. Hey Adam, come over here a minute will you?" Harry said spotting Adam with Charley.
"Sure thing Harry. What's going on?" Adam said with Charley in tow.
"Why would my stones be flashing? Look." Harry said opening his medicine bag containing all the stones they all had.
"I think they're full of magic maybe. We could ask ma. It's only... two in the afternoon there. I don't know if Mr. Dumbledore is still up and he has the only phone." Adam said.
"Not the only phone. Care to go for a little visit with me to Malfoy Manor you guys?" Harry asked the Thunderbirds.
Anxious to go on an adventure where they didn't know if it would be dangerous or not was kind of appealing to all of them except Charley who didn't know if he could apparate that far. Being assured that they could carry him along with a power boost, he acquiesced. Blaise closed the book and gave George about five hundred galleons to go stash somewhere. It was the pool money and Blaise just made fifty galleons in two hours. He was ready to stretch his legs or wings he didn't care. The activity would be good just before bedtime and they hadn't been out in a while after dark. If they flew, it would be even longer because of the need to feed afterwards and they wanted at least a few hours of sleep.
The girls changed outfits on the spot and changed into their official robes. Harry and Draco did the same, the others hadn't changed for the evening and didn't need to charm their clothes. They all left the common room and went invisible except Charley who seemed to be walking alone but every once in a while would jump a bit when Adam patted his butt 'affectionately'.
The Thunderbirds followed Charley out past the auror guards and towards the outer gates and the road to Hogsmeade. Once outside the gates, they started to disapparate. One Slytherin to two Gryffindors and others just for direction's sake. They were in the apparition area of the foyer of Malfoy Manor in a blink. The lights were down but not out because the aurors guarding the house requested it. They were bright in the library and the study.
The TBirds all followed a voice coming from the study. It was Narcissa talking to someone in the floo because they could now hear another disembodied voice talking. The conversation wasn't clear but it sounded important and they waited for it to end before entering. They made their presence known with a knock on the door by Draco who used a family code. Narcissa ended the floo call and opened the door to the knock. No one was supposed to be inside the house except her and one auror who was probably in the kitchen getting them coffee. He would be surprised to find fourteen wizards in the hallway and she let them in going to Harry first giving him a hug and a kiss. Draco stood by and waited for his 'sugar from mama' and was disappointed when he didn't get any.
"Mother, I'm standing right here. Where's my kiss and hug?" Draco said putting out his lower lip mock pouting.
"Oh, Merlin Draco, you're a grown man for heavens sake. Alright come here." Narcissa said and complied with the whine she was confronted with.
"What brings you here so late at night?" Narcissa said taking a seat looking at everyone standing.
"Please everyone, be seated. I'll have hot chocolate brought in. Dagmar!" Narcissa shouted for her house elf.
"You is calling Daggie? Oh my, you is having company, I shall bring refreshments." Dagmar said grinning at everyone.
"Just bring hot chocolate and inform the auror in the kitchen that we have company please." Narcissa said to the elf before she snapped out.
"You know the auror I mean. He tried to follow Adam and Arthur all over London." Narcissa explained, "He'll want to see you lot I'm sure."
"I just be surehe does. Charley this is the guy I told you about. Turns as red as Ron does." Adam said thumbing Ron and chuckling.
"I'm sure he'll wonder how we got past the wards" Charley said.
"I don't even want to know. Charley is the only one that has to explain himself." Narcissa said.
"I followed them in." Charley defended himself.
"Good enough. What brings you all out so late? Nothing wrong I hope. Harry you're feeling well?" Narcissa got off her questions and Charley shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm alright mum. We don't have a problem per se, but we have something that MaBirdy could help us with. Look, the stones in my medicine bag are all flashing and we don't know why. I really don't want to be without them since they've saved me a lot of pain already."
"We'd like to use the saddle light telephone please mother." Draco said and Ron giggled. Ron got words like telephone down pretty good now that he's been practicing them and didn't make mistakes like that one any more. He was giggling because Draco made a fluff.
"It's in the library. I was just about to call her when I was interrupted by the floo call from the ministry. Why don't you all follow me unless you want to go raid the kitchen after you get your hot chocolate in you, you may be hungry." Narcissa said twirling her robes and billowing them out of the study and into the library across the hall.
The auror that had been inside the house and was supposed to be guarding Narcissa walked down the corridor just as the last of the Thunderbirds entered the library and closed the door. He didn't recognize them and their robes looked almost an inky black. He was worried they would do his charge harm and called for reinforcements to join him. The house elf did not find him before he and three other aurors crashed through the library door with a bombarda spell spraying wood all over the room. Ginny saw the flash of magic and had covered them all with shields as the wood hit and the aurors entered.
Narcissa had just finished dialing the number and when it connected, Birdy answered to the sound of an explosion over the satellite phone.
"Hello, hello? Narcissa? What is going on?" Birdy was shouting into the phone.
"Hello, MaBirdy? It's Harry." Was all that Harry could say before he had to shield himself from a curse. Draco was on his feet in a flash and the Thunderbirds went invisible and subdued the aurors with binding charm head, body and foot. They reappeared and relieved the aurors of their wands. Harry was trembling a bit from the confusion but managed to put the telephone back to his ear in time to hear..
"If you don't say something right now, I'll leave the reservation right this minute to come save your asses," Birdy shouted.
"Relax MaBirdy. The auror that was supposed to keep an eye on mum here over reacted a bit when he saw us inside the mansion."
"You gave me a quite a scare Harry. Try not to do it again will you? Congratulations by the way. Give Draco a kiss from MaBirdy won't you?"
"Of course I will; kiss that is from MaBirdy Draco. MaBirdy sorry to disturb you, but my stones are glowing."
"Which ones?"
"All of them"
"That's not supposed to happen. I will send you more right away. In the mean time, you wear that thing I had made for Draco. It will fit you good enough until you get your own. In the mean time, give them to Adam and he can put them onto the staff. It sounds like they're full of magic to me."
"You mean I was cursed that much to cause them to fill up like that?"
"It looks that way, but sweets, if you've got Merlin's magic and the throne, he couldn't possibly harm you with magic anyway. I'll send the stones along anyway. Aunt Josephine thinks that little James looks like you and Narcissa looks like Draco." Birdy said trying to not cause alarm.
"I'll tell Draco. Thanks for telling me MaBirdy. Draco has something to tell you. Here he is." Harry said and handed over the telephone to his husband.
"MaBirdy? Draco here, yes quite a surprise. No not yet. Some but it is over quickly. No not a bit of it at all anymore. Oh, I still miss them completely. Yes. Say that is a good idea... thanks for taking them for us. Give them all a kiss from their daddies for us won't you? Thank you MaBirdy. Here's Adam." Draco finished answering all of Birdys questions and handed the telephone to Adam.
"Hiya mama!... No mama. Yes mama. Oh him? Yeah, he's right here with us. No I haven't told him yet. I don't think I will. Really? That's so cool. No mama, he's very gentle. Sometimes mama, but, huh? you really want to know about Frankie? Alright, I'll ask the little squirt. In my opinion he's ready and it sure couldn't' hurt him. I think we have to ask permission but it shouldn't be a problem. Yes mama, I'll be careful. I love you too mama. Here's Narcissa back mama. Good bye mama." Adam finished and handed the telephone to Narcissa who had already ushered most of the Thunderbirds out and directed them to the kitchens.
The bound aurors were released and they apologized to King Harry and The Minister for their lack of attention and left the group alone. Only the ones using the telephone remained in the room with Narcissa. When Narcissa she got the telephone in her hand, everyone that had just talked to Birdy were still buzzing in their heads from the quick grilling and instructions. Frankie and Benny were going to get to do advanced work secretly it seemed and Harry was going to give Adam the stones to put on his grandfathers staff. He was staffless that night and he took the stones and put them inside his cloak. Narcissa's telephone call was going much like theirs did and Draco took the ones remaining to the kitchens for a snack before apparating all the way to Hogwarts gates.
Narcissa joined her growing 'family' in the kitchen for a bedtime drink of fire whiskey and muggle lemon lime soda to get her relaxed and when she entered the kitchen, Adam was playing with the house elf that didn't find the aurors. Narcissa was not at all mad at the tiny creature and offered her a cup of hot chocolate as well. Her family grew by one that evening Dagmar was a very content house elf that night. The other house elves learned of Harry's condition and all vowed to make sure that he was safe with them. Harry was reminded to inform the King of the Elven Realm as soon as he could find the time. With Hermione and Draco as constant reminders of all things Harry, it was a job done already. The food was gone quickly and the Thunderbirds rose as one and gave Narcissa good-bye hugs on their way out to the apparition spot in the foyer.
The last of them had entered the barrier and in a flash, they all disappeared. The popping noise was silenced by a charm. Narcissa took the grand staircase gracefully billowing her robes behind her as she climbed her stairs. She alerted the auror inside the house before she entered her bedroom that she was retiring and soon was in her own bed content that she was going to be a grandmother again and so soon.
The Thunderbirds and Charley apparated at the gates of Hogwarts and entered the grounds with the approval of the guard on duty responsible for entries and exits onto the government territory of Hogwart's. The Thunderbirds thought it odd that they didn't guard the dark forest's entries and went about snapping into their common room once they were out of the guard's sight.
The auror on guard knew someone was supposed to be approaching on foot and he stood waiting for them for much longer than he thought he should have and made inquiries with the gate guard. He walked the entire way down and back up to the castle cursing under his breath.
"Goddamn stupid guard, didn't know the King when he saw him. How 'he got outta the academy, I'll never know. God bloody damn stupid, stupid guard."
The Thunderbirds were full from their second meal of the evening and were ready for bed soon after leaving the common room. None of Thundercloud waited up for them, it was quite late after all and they really did not want to discuss private business with anyone for any reason. The former Slytherins went into two bedrooms, Blaise to Luna's and Greg and Vince to their own. The whole time at Malfoy Manor, the four of them were having hot and torrid conversations in their heads and were glad that their excursion was short because they were horny teenagers after all.
Blaise and Luna put up impenetrable charms before the door was shut and they locked it from entry by anyone. Blaise was feeling particularly randy and romantic at the same time and Luna was still horny from watching Draco and Harry in the bath and was ready for a little one on one with her boyfriend. When Luna was not being all starry eyed, she really had determination and a clear view of things. Right now, she had a clear view of a big naked Italian wizard with a British accent and a rising manhood. She stood up and with a wave of her hand; she was as naked as Blaise was with one huge difference. The difference was drooling on her tummy and rubbing itself back and forth while she was being thoroughly snogged.
Luna and Blaise laid in each other's arms only thinking about smoking as they did in the muggle movies they watched on the television in America. The two laughed quietly at the idea of them actually smoking cigarettes but they did think about the funny stuff that they tried in Arizona with Adam. That made them feel good, but their magic was off kilter for a little while and they did not like the way they felt. Right there right then, the two lovers were content with the afterglow and release of extreme orgasms. Blaise got all quiet as he stroked Luna's light hair as it cascaded across the black hair on his chest.
Blaise suddenly got up out of the bed leaving Luna's warm body and walked naked to the drawer that held his "over night things". Blaise's butt was well muscled and firm and his scrotum could be seen swaying between his legs while Luna drooled at the sight as it walked away. She was equally thrilled when he turned around. Things were not as droopy as she thought would be the case and she looked up at Blaise's goofy looking expression and the thing in his hands. Blaise got on one knee at the bedside, took Luna's hand in his, and gazed into her eyes. He gripped Luna's hand oh, so delicately and stroked the back of it with his thumb getting up the courage to ask her something.
"Luna, we've known each other for years but we've not been as close as we are now. I know that you are the only witch on the planet that I will ever be able to be Blaise Zabini with and I'd like for you to take my name and give me your hand in marriage. Luna, I love you, truly, completely, deeply. Will you marry me?" Blaise said like he was practicing for a month, He was.
Luna looked into Blaise's deep dark eyes, this time not as a lust-filled lover but as a powerful witch searching for something. Luna was a natural legilimens of a different caliber and she searched for something that wasn't there before she said,
"Yes, I will Blaise. I love you too. I looked into your heart to see if there had been others before me and other than what I've already seen, besides the escapades on that bloody lake in Arizona with the fellow's, there've been none. I know your heart is true and pure. I will love to be married to the likes of you. Father will be happy to have someone to take to those quidditch games and the Manchester United games." Luna said to the beaming Italian.
When Blaise got up from his knee, little Blaze was ready for another go and was spitting a string of gossamer like fluid. Luna took this show of Blaise's lusty love for her as the signal and she lifted the covers waiting for him to join her to consummate the engagement. It was very early in the morning before the two young Thundercloud lovers drifted off to sleep completely exhausted, satisfied and happy. Thundercloud magic was funny. Everyone in the house slept a content sleep. A deep satisfying sleep. A peaceful sleep. It seemed that when Thunderbirds had sex, the effect was the same, but different.
Everyone knew someone was laid the next morning. Just before breakfast, there were eleven Thunderbirds ready for some groceries and waiting for the missing two was something they were going to have to do. They all had suspicions of what had happened the night before, but they all slept the best sleep in a while so they did not mind. Blaise and Luna walked out into the common room hand in hand. Ginny was the first to spot the sparkle and she mentaled Hermione to look. The two of them held their tongues waiting for the two new comers to say something. Respect in Thundercloud house was something that they could count on without fail and that was what they gave Blaise and Luna.
"Well, if it isn't our missing lovebirds. You ready for breakfast you two or did you already eat enough?" Adam said grinning at Blaise who was beginning to blush.
"We're ready to eat but one thing first." Blaise said.
"We'd like to announce to you all that we're getting married." Luna said for the two of them.
"Congratulations you two. Ginny and I knew it would happen eventually. Oh, Merlin, would you look at that ring! Gin take a look at the jawbreaker." Hermione squealed when she saw the ring.
"Oh, Blaise you have such good taste." Ginny said eyeing the sparkler.
"It's my grandfather's taste, either that or Grand mum's. I just have to give it to someone. I think it looks good on her hand and it won't get in the way if she has to kick someone's butt." Blaise gushed.
"I hope no one gets that close to her Zabini." Ron said extending his hand to his new friend.
"Aye mate me either." Blaise said looking at Luna before turning to shake Ron's hand.
