Over the week, Harry grew to trust Raymundo and was happy getting things ready for Yule. He would be wearing a beautiful dress and Severus a nice suit. Zinnia also had a cute little dress.

The ball was in full swing when the family arrived. The pups in their respective outfits, and Zinnia giggling in her dress. She gripped into thin air before grabbing her father's face.
The couple was becoming more and more concerned. They needed to get her checked out. But that was for later, now they needed to have fun.
Moon and Apple were being held in Zinnia's carriage while Harry gripped onto his Alpha's arm. Ray stood next to Tom's left, looking around for any danger.
The family walked over to the Malfoy's when they came into view. Harry was confused when Draco wasn't with his parents. "Lucius, Narcissa. It's great to see you again."
"Oh, Severus, it's great to see you and your family again, but who's this?" Narcissa pointed to Ray.
"This is Raymundo. I got him to help protect Harry and Zinnia. I hope you got my letter."
The air turned dark for a second before turning back. "Yes, I can tell you I was not in the best of moods. It's horrible to think about in general, but since my son was found as an omega, I've found it harder to control my emotions. I may be a beta but everything in me is telling me to protect my child. Even though he's found his mates, it's difficult."
"Wait. Draco found his mate?" Harry spoke for the first time.
"Mates actually. It turns out, our little dragon is mated to the Weasly twins. It's quite amusing, but Lucius is still getting used to the pranks."
Harry was shocked but smiled wide. "Alpha, may I go find them?"
"Of course, Darling. Just take Zinnia Darling and Ray."
Severus placed the nearly sleeping baby in the carriage and Ray walked to his side. The couple shared a kiss before Harry went off.
He eventually found the trio on the dance floor. Fred in front of Draco and George behind, both had their arms wrapped around him. Draco was resting his head on George's chest, his right hand gripping George's arm and his left gripping Fred's tux.
Harry smiled, but it turned into a blush as he realized the twins were sneakily grinding themselves into their mate. When Draco finally opened his eyes and saw his friend he blushed and tried to move his partners.
They just held him tighter until they saw Harry and stopped moving. Draco took his chance and walked to his friend and goddaughter. "Well, I see you found your mates."
"Um, yes, and they're very…expressive."
"I could tell." The twins soon joined them and they spent the night talking. Narcissa, Lucius, the trio, Harry, and Severus take respective turns watching Zinnia so the respective lovers could dance.
The night ended fairly soon and luckily Dumbledore only showed for a few minutes, but he never saw the couple he was trying to spy on. Severus had taken help from the Malfoys, and now the twins, to grab the evidence of Dumbledore's crimes.
This would end soon.
