Chapter 7
Hermione stared at the three smirking faces in her office. It had been a long week, and it was only now as she surveyed the pile of growing issues on her desk did she realise she should have spent more time on them than with the three men in front of her. She clenched her legs together as the weeks pleasurable memories came back to her, since the Saturday she had lost count how many times she had reached her peak because of these three.
"What do you want?" she asked as the three continued to grin. They sort of reminded her of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland, almost fitting as Adrian often called her Kitten.
"Nothing," said Blaise and Hermione raised her eyebrows, she glanced back up to Adrian and looked directly at him.
"Adrian… want to tell me what you three are doing here?"
"Paying you a visit kitten," he chuckled and Hermione rolled her eyes. Reaching for her wand she quickly transfigured two bottles of ink into chairs and placed them against the wall, with the chair at her desk she moved it to join them.
"Well if you are going to be a nuisance at least sit down and keep out of my way, you're making the room look untidy," she teased and Draco scowled.
"I'll have you know Granger, I don't make rooms untidy!" Hermione slowly nodded her head while rolling her eyes before returning her attention back to the report in front of her.
"It's rude to ignore your guests," stated Adrian after a few minutes and Hermione looked up with a smirk.
"And doing it on purpose is even ruder," said Blaise with his own smirk. He was stretched out in his chair his ankles crossed and his arms folded over his chest.
"I'm trying to work, and you three are interrupting that," she said and the three men grinned. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to the tapping of the window, standing from her seat she opened the window for the owl which quickly flew away. She slipped open the envelope and read the note inside. Grinning she looked up to Adrian.
"Your Quidditch field is now ready for action," she said and Adrian beamed.
"Brilliant!"
"So tell us Granger, when were you planning on telling us you were sleeping with several Slytherins?" asked Draco and the three men all looked at her. Hermione sighed as she lowered herself back into her seat, she surveyed the three men in front of her and just shrugged.
"When I felt like telling you." She said. "Adrian knew about it. Draco, you and I have been sleeping with different people for years, you don't tell me yours so I don't need to tell you mine and Blaise, I know all about your reputation and if I recall you said you weren't interested in knowing who I was sleeping with." Blaise puckered his lips together in thought, he had said that. He could even remember saying that. He glanced to Adrian and Draco who were both frowning.
"Well that answers the question I guess," said Blaise. "Which one of is the best though?"
Hermione froze as she signed the bottom of her report. She had always hated this question, and could never understand why men wanted to know. Women never asked that question to a man, no woman wanted the uncertainty of being told the other woman was better. As she looked up at the three men she contemplated her sex lives with each.
With Draco it almost felt like a marriage, amazing passionate sex at the beginning of their relationship, experimenting and discovering what each other enjoyed and disliked but as the years passed, sex become a routine. She knew exactly how to get him hard and he to get her hot. Sex was still enjoyable and filled with passion, he could drag it out or make her see stars in minutes but the thrill of it had gone.
With Adrian sex was fun, she had never felt uncomfortable around him, never shy or embarrassed. He had made her feel special and because of that sex with Adrian has been something she had never experienced with anyone else. What that man could do with his tongue and hands was amazing and she had discovered things her body could do that she had never known possible. Just thinking about it made her pussy tingle.
With Blaise it was like a naughty secret, the boy your mother would tell you to avoid. He was attractive and he knew it, he had the biggest cock she had ever seen and it filled her to the brim. Sex with him was explosive and rough, he wasn't gentle he was harsh and fast and she loved it, loved how he would grab her hair and thrust straight into her never allowing her to catch her breath, he was a drug that she couldn't let go.
"I don't know," she finally said after a few minutes of silence. "I guess if I could put the three of you into one person and combine everything then it'd probably be the best sex life a girl could have." She said trying to put her explanation into words.
"So… what exactly are you trying to say?" asked Draco looking to the two men to see if they understood Hermione's explanation.
Frowning in thought Hermione sighed. "It's almost like with Draco it's like a marriage, Adrian it's fun and comfortable and Blaise is like a secret affair."
"I'm always the affair," laughed Blaise, "but if Draco's the marriage it means he's got mediocre and you needed a bit of excitement in your life,"
Hermione opened her mouth to speak but Draco bet her to the call. "A Marriage! Well Granger I'm hurt it's not my fault we keep getting walked in on."
Hermione laughed, "Well we've been sleeping together that long and I've already met your parents all I need is the ring and we'll be set."
"I aint marrying you when you're having a dirty affair with my best mate. Let alone Pucey!"
"I think I'd rather be the hubby, at least you're not fun and comfortable," muttered Adrian with a wrinkle of his nose. "Zabini will you stop smirking!"
Blaise smirked wider and Hermione buried her head in her hands with a groan. A knock on the door caused all to look towards it.
"Come in," called Hermione grateful for disruption, and as the figure from behind the door became visible Hermione grinned. "Viktor!" she cried and stood from her seat.
Viktor smiled and Hermione embraced him in a hug, never noticing the deep frowns on the three Slytherin faces.
"It's great to see you again, I've set up the spare bedroom and it's all ready for you."
"Thank you Hermione," he said and Hermione smiled. After so many years Viktor had finally learnt to say her name correctly.
Draco, Adrian and Blaise looked at one another at the announcement of the spare bedroom being ready.
"No problem, help yourself to any of the food and the drinks in there and I'll be popping over at lunch." Hermione told him as she jogged back around her desk. She reached for her bag and pulled out her keys.
"Thank you, how do I remove your vards?" Viktor asked and Hermione smiled at him, much to the annoyance of the three Slytherins watching the exchange with a glare.
"Once you put this key in the door then the wards will drop, if you leave the house you need to lock the door with the key and the wards will come back up." Explained Hermione and Viktor nodded.
"Okay, I vill see you later Hermione,"
"See you later," she said and with a hug he turned to leave, he nodded to the three boys and they each nodded in return but Hermione watched them as they looked down at Viktor.
As Viktor left her office three pairs of eyes turned on to Hermione. "What!" she snapped preparing for their glares.
"What's he doing here?" Adrian asked a scowl darkening his brow.
"He's visiting for the weekend,"
"You never said," replied Draco coldly and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Didn't think I had to get clarity off the three of you for when I have guests over at my house." Her hands were on her hips as she glared down at the two of them.
"Is this just a friendly visit or something… more?" Blaise questioned and Hermione stared at him as anger fuelled her.
"Let me get something very straight, not one of you have any say in what I do or who I see or who I sleep with! Viktor is visiting as a friend and only a friend. He has been my friend far longer than any of you and I do not appreciate you staring down at him like he's a piece of dirt. If you have a problem with who I spend my time with then keep it to yourself. Now get out of my office, I've work to do!" she turned on the spot and refused to look at them, she heard the door shut and she glanced up to see her office empty. Rage fuelled inside her but she kept it locked up. Dinner was in just over an hour and then she would go home to check up on Viktor...
She'd heard nothing from Draco, Blaise or Adrian as lunch appeared and her anger from before had slowly disappeared. With a sigh she collected her belongings and left her department, half of the people in the office were out on location and the office was practically empty. She waved to Teresa and George who were working on the Werewolf desk. She headed straight to the lift, and grinned in surprise as she spotted Harry stood inside.
"Hiya Hermione," he greeted as she stepped inside.
"Harry, how are you?"
"I'm good thanks Mione, you?"
"I'm great," she said smiling.
"Excellent! I heard Viktor has arrived?" said Harry with a smirk and Hermione scowled.
"Yes he has, how did you know?"
"I've wasted at least half an hour of my life listening to a particular blonde rant about a famous Quidditch player and a spare bedroom." He said, "You been upsetting my co-worker by inviting grumpy Bulgarians to spend the weekend?" he winked and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Not just your co-worker but an Obliviator and a member of the Quidditch department." She said and Harry laughed.
"Some days I'm envious of you and some does I pity you. Surely you should just ditch two of them and be in a relationship with the other?"
"I wouldn't know which one I should pick," she admitted, "I don't know if I could just choose one of them," Harry nodded.
"I just want you to be happy and healthy and if this is the way to do it then I'll always be supportive of you!"
Hermione smiled and threw her arms around Harry's neck in a hug, Harry chuckled but welcomed the hug. "Love you too Harry," she whispered in his ear and Harry held her tightly.
They separated as the doors to the lift opened and they both headed in different directions, Harry towards the canteen and Hermione towards the fireplaces. She dropped the floo powder in to the flames and closed her eyes as she was transported to her home.
Stepping out of her fireplace she smiled at Viktor who was seated on the sofa with a book in his hand.
"Hermione, is it lunch time already?" he asked and Hermione nodded. She kicked off her shoes leaving them by the fireplace.
"Yup, you have me for an hour before I have to return,"
"Good, there is much ve must discuss!" said Viktor and Hermione frowned a little.
"Would you like anything to eat?" she asked and Viktor nodded.
Hermione quickly prepared lunch and they ate it in the living room, but Hermione could sense something was off with Viktor. She desperately wanted to ask him about his engagement, it had been a surprise to her when she had found out, because in all of his letters he had never once mentioned a girlfriend.
"So how have you been since I last saw you Hermione? You veren't very vell,"
"No I… I wasn't but I'm a lot better now so thank you, how about you? You're engaged!" Hermione frowned at the dark look that appeared across Viktor's face. "Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, this is vhy I am here," he started and Hermione placed her plate on the table. She twisted her body to face him and frowned deeper upon seeing the emotions across Viktor's face. "Vivian is nice, I met her two veeks ago."
"Two weeks ago, you're engaged after only two weeks?" to say she was shocked was an understatement.
"Yes, Hermione this isn't any normal vedding, this is a new marriage law!"
"Marriage Law! What do you mean a marriage law Viktor?"
"The var didn't only effect England it spread across the vorld. Recent statistics have shown an immense shortage of vitches of all blood types, to rectify this Ministers have been implementing Marriage Laws. Each Vitch must be married to three Vizards by a certain date. In Bulgaria this law vas announced at the beginning of the New Year. If ve did not pick a vife after three months then the ministry vould pick one for us. Vivian in nice,"
Hermione shook her head upon hearing what Viktor was telling her. "Viktor that's horrible, is there anything I can do?"
Viktor shook his head, "I'm here to varn you of the law Hermione, it is coming to England and it'll be hear very soon!"
"But we've heard nothing of this law, surely we'd have been aware of this law before it was announced?" but Viktor shook his head.
"Ve did not know of the law until the Minister announced it to the country! I have met my future vives other husbands and they seem nice."
"So what happens now? Where will you live? How will you live? Are there any rules that must follow? Can you end it?"
Viktor smiled sadly, "I vill marry Vivian in a combined marriage along with her two husbands. Unless the law is abolished the marriage vill be permanent. Ve Vill all live together. Vivian must conceive and carry a minimum of one child for all three of her husbands."
"What about work?"
"Vivian is allowed to vork there is nothing stopping her from vorking. She can continue to vork after childbirth and a husband can choose to raise the child/children."
Hermione felt physically sick! "What about if you are already married Viktor? Surely then they cannot change that?" Viktor shook his head.
"No, if one is already married or above child bearing age by the date given then they are exempt to the Marriage Law." Instantly Hermione's mind thought of Harry and Ginny, they were to marry in a few months and she had this sinking feeling in her stomach.
"Viktor I have to go, I've got to go speak to Kingsley!" she said and Viktor nodded. He watched her leave and sighed, he just hoped she would be able to keep her life on track with this new law.
So what do you think? Hermione is finally aware of this new law coming across the seas. It's also the first chapter that doesn't include a sex scene, I thought it was important to have a chapter that didn't just to stop it from being too repetitive and boring.
I really wanted it to be Viktor to inform Hermione of it, and after a little bit of research Viktor seems to pronounce the beginning of words that start with a W as a V but continues to use the letter W in the middle of words for the high majority, I also just couldn't be bothered to spell Hermione's name any differently so he's officially learnt to pronounce it correctly ;)
Please leave a review and let me know what you make to this! Look forward to hearing for you all.
