Author's Note: Warning, this story contains poly relationships, one of which is all-male. Their story didn't quite feel finished - and this one has more smut than the original, enjoy!
Pronglet stepped up to the Arch and grinned when Mrs Weasley appeared on the other side. He waved. She gestured for him to come through. He obeyed immediately and walked into her open arms. He wrapped his arms around her with a sigh of contentment. "I'm so glad I'm not going to miss out on this," he murmured.
"So I am," she responded softly. She stroked his hair gently for a moment. "Are you and your boyfriends still coming to dinner on Sunday?"
"Yes," he replied pulling back to smile at her. "As well as Fred, George and Uma."
"What about Sirius and his partner?"
"It's looking good, but you might want to warn everyone that he's the Hades, and his hair be on fire," he cautioned.
"I should hope the warning wouldn't be necessary, however, I'll make sure of it, Harry dear. Do you have long?"
He pulled out his phone and checked the time. "Not that long," he apologised. "Erm, before Sunday, you might want to get Hermione to explain to you about Disney films, with an emphasis on the Princess films and the classics; 101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan and Hercules in particular. Everyone's background should be covered then."
"I will," she promised. "Now go, you don't want to be late for class."
"I really don't," he replied with a grin, giving her another quick hug before he departed back through the Arch.

"Looking after the soul I see," Hades drawled as he stalked across a grassy courtyard toward Prongslet.
The teen opened his eyes and smiled up at the God. "Got a meeting?"
"Just had one," he replied as he settled beside the teen. "Why?"
"Didn't want to make you late," he stated. "And yeah," he spoke with a warm smile. "Though, several of the things causing damage were no longer part of my life, even before I came here, but my life is better here."
"You know what was causing the damage?" he asked curiously.
"The connection, obviously," he replied immediately. "But I would say that anything that caused physical, emotional or psychological scarring is likely to damage the soul."
"You're right." Several emotions flicked across the teen's face. "What?" he prompted.
"Okay, don't be pissed at me." Hades' eyebrows rose as he waited. "I think it was a good thing you didn't have your powers on the Isle," he spoke in a rush. "You don't like seeing damaged souls, and even if you had the capacity to heal them, given the circumstances, they would have only gotten damaged again."
His companion let out a thoughtful hum. "Speaking of the Isle, quite a few of those you're close to are from there." The teen nodded. "Why?"
"I've got a soft spot for a misfit."
"And?"
He blew out a breath. "I can't stand bullies, and those that consider themselves superior," he stated. "No one can help what family they're born into, and looking down on someone for something like that is so narrowminded it's stupid," he retorted. "And the ones that do it here really piss me off, because they just can't get that mindsets like that, aren't 'good' like they always claim they are. That's villain thinking right there, but they just won't-" he cut off with a blush.
"You're right," the God stated and the teen's gaze turned to him. "That is exactly the way that villains think, but they wouldn't want to admit that," he spoke with a knowing smile.
"They like to think that they put all the evil on the Isle, and conveniently forget that several of them came from the Kingdoms that made up Auradon," Prongslet finished.
"Exactly. Have you noticed the ones they despise most of all?"
"The likes of Gaston or Cruella that are as human as they are."
His companion nodded. "The ones that made them realise how easy it would for them to go evil, if they made the wrong choices." He let out a huff of breath. "You're inherently good-"
"I've made mistakes," he stated. "Made the wrong choice in the moment-"
"And you paid for it," he interrupted firmly. "I could even argue that you paid for your mistakes before you made them." The teen ducked his head. "Ben and Auradon will only improve for having you," he stated. Prongslet's bright green gaze flew to his. "When he comes up with his big, inclusive ideas, you'll help him to make them a reality. You might point out practical obstacles, but then you'll help him overcome them."
"And if I can't, there are quite a few lateral thinkers in our poly relationship, so we're bound to come up with solution between us."
Hades stood with a smile. "You didn't piss me off," he assured, ruffling the teen's hair, causing him to smile. "Gotta go."
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
Prongslet entered his room and smiled warmly at finding all of his lovers lounging on his bed. "What's that you've got there, jewel-eyed beauty?" Harry drawled, smirking at the shivers his voice caused.
"You know how I said you could count on Sirius not to be a cockblocker?" the brunet wizard asked with a grin. Everyone but Draco nodded. "Well, he got us a present," he stated, and retrieved a shrunk box from his pocket before resizing it. He opened the box and pulled out a container of pourable chocolate.
"What's that?" Carlos and Gil asked in unison.
"Chocolate," he stated, smiling at the heightened interest from everyone but Draco. "Pourable chocolate to be exact. He thinks we'll have fun with this, and I'm pretty sure he's right."
"I volunteer to be coated," Draco drawled.
"If no one objects, I've got a plan," Harry drawled.
"What have you got in mind?" Ben prompted with a warm smile.
"Tops first," he stated. "Prongslet with Draco, Carlos with Jay, and you and Gil with me," he stated.
"Knew you'd have to balance that out eventually," Jay retorted.
Harry grinned wickedly before continuing, "For round two we switch with one exception." He paused dramatically. "Gil gets covered for me," he continued. Ben opened his mouth, expression agreeing. "And round three is anyone who wants to with Ben." The King's mouth snapped closed with a click, blushing hard. "You're willing aren't you Beastie?" he purred, and Ben nodded mutely. "Any objections?" he asked, his gaze flitting from the rest of his lovers, who all shook their heads, grinning. "Then shall we?"

Uma paused as she stepped through the portal and looked up at The Burrow. "This is where you grew up?"
"It's a bit ramshackle, but it's structurally sound," they reassured.
"I wasn't worried about that," she stated. "I like it, it's got character."
"More than say a castle?" they asked grinning.
"A lot more," she stated. "So how many people are going to be here? Besides Harry and his harem," she added with a grin.
"Our parents, Bill and Fleur, ickle Ronnikins and 'Mione, Ginny – don't think she's at the point where she'd bring a guest – and maybe Andromeda and Teddy, if Mum's managed to talk her into it."
"That it?" she asked flippantly.
"Well, Charlie's still in Romania with his dragons, and some of the friends of the family attend occasionally, but until grandchildren start arriving, that's it."
"What have I let myself in for?" she murmured.
"You're the daughter of Ursula," they spoke with broad grins, "you can handle anything."
"Good that you know it," she replied with a smirk. "All right, let's go join the party."
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
"All alone jewel-eyed beauty?" Harry drawled as he entered Prongslet's bedroom.
The wizard nodded absently as he made a note from one of his textbooks. "Ben has a King thing, Jay and Gil are at training, Carlos has a project, and Draco is having a study session with Evie and Doug," he answered honestly.
"Whatever are we going to do with ourselves," Harry purred. Prongslet shivered, causing the pirate to smirk.
"I have homework," he replied breathily.
"It can wait," he drawled as he stalked to the bed and settled astride the wizard's hips. "You aren't going to deny me, are you jewel-eyed beauty?"
"As if I could," he breathed, offering his mouth to the pirate.
Harry pulled back only after he had claimed his wizard's mouth thoroughly. "You know I'm happy to share," he drawled, his brogue roughening, "but I am loving the thought of having you all to myself, jewel-eyed beauty."
Prongslet licked his lips. "What did you have in mind?"
"So many things," he purred, "but what is it that you want to do?"
He licked his lips. "I want to play with your hook," he admitted softly.
Harry experienced a full-body shiver. "You know I would love that, but first, I need to make sure you understand somethin'," he spoke, brogue more defined. Prongslet's head tilted. "I will never insert it into you," he stated firmly.
"I know," the wizard replied. "You wouldn't want to risk hurting me."
"That being said, there's no reason I can't play it along your pretty skin," he purred. It was Prongslet's turn to shiver. "Is that you've been craving, jewel-eyed beauty? The cool metal of my hook gliding along the heat of your skin?"
"Yes," he admitted breathily.
"Well then, I'd say we're overdressed," he spoke with a wicked grin. A flex of Prongslet's magic, and they were both naked. "So pretty," he purred, "and all mine to play with." His hook floated over to him from his pile of clothing. He chuckled wickedly. "Don't worry, jewel-eyed beauty, I hadn't forgotten," he promised with a wicked grin as he plucked it out of the air.
With a smirk, he gently traced his hook over Prongslet's bottom lip, which widened as the wizard let out a soft moan. He traced it over his chin and down his neck, eliciting shivers. He paused for a moment before sliding the cool metal down his torso. Their gazes locked as he carefully caressed the wizard's nipple with his hook.
"Harry," he moaned.
Another smirk from the pirate as his hook slid along the slighter teen's torso before caressing his neglected nipple. "I know you're enjoying this," he murmured, pleased, as he began the slow slide down his stomach.
"You are too," Prongslet panted.
"O'course," he replied, brogue roughening his voice. "It's my talisman," he elaborated.
"You'll have to explain it to me in more detail later," he panted. "Don't tease," he whined.
"Poor jewel-eyed beauty," he purred. "Feeling needy?" he asked before sliding his hook down over his pelvis, deliberately avoiding the wizard's cock. "Yes," he replied before his companion could. "Look at you, hard and weeping for me." He stroked over the head of Prongslet's cock, causing the slighter teen to cry out. "It gets better," he promised with a wicked grin before shifting his hook so that the curve tucked beneath the head of Prongslet's cock. As the slighter teen's bright green eyes flew to his in surprise, he began to glide up and down his shaft, stroking the other teen's cock with his hook.
"Harry," he whined, his toes curling at the feel of cool metal gliding over his most heated of flesh. "I need-" he gasped.
"I know exactly what you need, jewel-eyed beauty," he purred as he gliding up the slighter teen's shaft, over the head, and pressed the curve against his hole.
"Harry," he moaned as he came. He blinked needy eyes at the pirate and watched as Harry scooped what seed he could onto his hook and raised it to his mouth. He couldn't help his shudder as Harry licked his hook clean. "Please," he whined, shifting needily, already hard again.
"Get yourself ready for me, jewel-eyed beauty," he commanded in a rough purr. He felt the tingle in the air as he complied. "I find I'm just as desperate for you," he breathed, dipping his head for a heated, messy kiss, before he slid into his companion in a single stoke.
Prongslet gripped his shoulders, moans and the pirate's name falling from his lips. "Please, Harry," he breathed.
The pirate wrapped a possessive hand around his hip before he set a hard, fast pace, truly as desperate for this as his companion was.
It didn't take long before they both went over the edge. Harry blew out a shaky breath. "Once I've caught my breath, I'll clean you up, and then we'll see what else you've been wanting to do," he drawled.
Green eyes met grey. "I like the sound of that."
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
Prongslet walked into his room and found Jay and Carlos tangled on his bed. "Would you like some privacy?" he asked with a smile.
"As if we'd do that," Jay retorted with a grin. "It's your room." The wizard hummed doubtfully as he kicked off his shoes before settling beside them on the bed. "There was something we wanted to talk to you about," he stated, looking at white-haired teen pointedly.
"What is it Carlos?" Prongslet asked gently, stroking his thumb over the back of the slighter teen's hand.
"There something I want to do," he spoke in a rush.
"Yes?" he prompted, expression encouraging.
He licked his lips. "I, uh, want to be with both you at the same time."
"Any particular way?"
"I want you in my mouth while Jay's-" he cut off with a blush.
"So you want to be in the middle," he stated.
"You willing?" Jay asked.
"Yeah," he retorted, "you think I wouldn't be?"
Jay grinned wickedly. "I figured you'd be interested."
Carlos blushed. "I just-"
Prongslet lay gentle fingers over his lips. "Believe me, I will enjoy myself just as thoroughly being in your mouth," he stated. "Now, I wouldn't turn down being in the middle, either the same way, or taking you while Jay took me." Carlos shivered.
"Then we'd better get to those," Jay spoke with a grin. "Well, if we have the time."
The wizard glanced at his clock. "We should just be able to fit it in," he retorted with a wicked grin. "Good thing you can bounce back as quickly as I can."
"When I have such motivation, why wouldn't I?" he retorted. "Could you?" he asked, glancing at their clothes pointedly. Grinning, Prongslet tapped into his magic, and the three of them were naked in an instant.
"Please," Carlos moaned.
"We've got you," Jay soothed, as he and Prongslet got the slightest teen onto all fours, Jay settling behind him while their wizard settled on his knees at Carlos' head. The thief met their wizard's eyes, and they both slid into Carlos at the same time, automatically picking a gentle, steady pace.
Carlos made a protesting sound around Prongslet's shaft and the wizard made a choked noise. "None of that," Jay chided, tapping the white-haired teen's hip gently. "He might have great stamina, but he's still sensitive. I know you want it harder than this, but we're trying to give you the full, in-sync experience."
"And we don't want you to choke," Prongslet added. Carlos' eyes flicked up to meet the wizard's and he surrendered to his lover's will. "Good boy," he praised.
"Very good," Jay added, stroking his hips gently. "You're taking both of us so well, Carlos," he praised.
"You feel so good," Prongslet cooed. "You feel good too don't you Carlos?" The white-haired teen hummed an agreement and he had to bite down on his bottom lip.
"Try not to injure yourself," Jay cautioned.
"You ever had him do that?" he asked, voice strained.
Jay chuckled wickedly, and on the next thrust, shifted his hips slightly so that he scraped over Carlos' prostate. The white-haired teen cried out and came, the feel of it sending both of his lovers over the edge.
Prongslet pulled out, checking to make sure Carlos swallowed, and stroked his cheek gently. "You did so good Carlos," he praised.
"Yes you did," Jay agreed, stroking the teen's hips again before pulling out himself. "You're going to be just as good when you take Prongslet, aren't you Carlos?"
"Yes," he panted, lust filling his eyes.
"Your turn," the thief stated with a wicked grin, holding his hand out to their wizard. Prongslet shivered before he and Carlos traded places. He was going to enjoy this – and he only hoped they had the chance to do this again in the future.

"Prongslet?" Gil asked from his place on the wizard's bed. The brunet hummed curiously as he kicked off his shoes. "Do you wish that I was smarter?"
"Gil," he spoke chidingly and settled beside the blonde. He blew out a breath. "I know what it's like not to be the smartest one in the room," he stated. The blonde's head tilted curiously. "You know that Draco's really smart, and that he was my rival," he began conversationally. Gil nodded. "Well, that didn't really bother me," he stated. "Because when it came to beating him on classroom scores, my best friend did that."
"Hermione?" he guessed.
Prongslet smiled warmly at him, touched. "Yeah. I never told her this, but I had more than a few moments where I felt inferior, because I wasn't as smart as her," he remarked casually. "I know she'd hate to know that she made me feel that way, just by being herself, so I never told her."
"What did you do about it?" he asked softly.
"I came to realise, that just because I couldn't memorise entire textbooks, or ream facts off at the drop of a hat, didn't mean that I was dumb," he stated. "I also came to realise that I had skills that she didn't. I'm a natural flyer, and I'm so good in Defence, that in our fifth year – when we had a truly atrocious teacher – she not only asked me to teach others, but her too. That cemented my realisation of my self-worth," he stated. He kissed Gil gently, making the blonde smile. "There are two types of skills; those we're born with, and those we learn," he stated. "Carlos being a genius is something he was born with, but I'm sure there are skills you have, that he doesn't," he stated. "You were a pirate to his thief, surely there were skills you picked up that he didn't?"
"He can fight and climb things as well as I can," Gil spoke with a frown.
"What about knots, is he as good with knots?"
"No," he replied with a sunny smile.
"What about reading the tides or the weather?" he suggested. He shook his head. "Not to mention," he continued, cupping Gil's face. "You always look on the bright side," he stated. He grinned. "And one thing I know about geniuses, from growing up with Hermione, is that they often find it difficult to turn off their brains to enjoy the moment. And you, you always enjoy the moment Gil, no matter what it is."
"Thanks," he replied, leaning into the touch.
"I'm sure there's more than just that," he stated. "I haven't really known any of you long enough to list more," he murmured. He linked their fingers together. "But knowing that you're better at something than someone isn't being mean, it's just a fact."
"Unless you're mean about it to someone," Gil opposed.
"Which none of us ever are, right?"
"Right," the blonde agreed sunnily.
"Gil-"
He cut the wizard off with a kiss. "No one ever in our relationship makes me feel dumb," he stated.
"Did someone say something to you?" Jay demanded from the doorway. Both teens startled and he grinned. "Didn't want to ruin the moment," the darker-skinned teen stated as he joined them on the bed. "Gil?"
"A few comments were made," he stated.
Jay kissed him soundly. "I hope you didn't pay attention to them," he spoke earnestly. "We all enjoy being with you Gil, we don't wish we could swap you with anyone else."
"Our group wouldn't be complete without you," Prongslet stated.
"Exactly," Jay agreed. "And whoever they were, they're just jealous."
"Why?"
Prongslet grinned. "Because you're in a relationship with so many fit guys, and they're not," he retorted. "Though you're fit too," he added hastily.
"That he doesn't doubt," Jay reassured. "Do you?" Gil shook his head. "But I hope you realise, you're more than just a pretty face and hot body to us," he spoke earnestly.
Gil smiled brightly. "I do. I just had a bad moment."
Jay stroked his cheek gently. "We all have them, Gil, and you can talk to any – or all – of us when you do. We'll help you through it."
"I know," he replied with a bright smile. "You didn't kiss Prongslet hello."
"Can't have that," he retorted with a grin, and kissed their wizard heatedly.
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
Prongslet sank down onto Ben's cock with a moan. The king let out a moan of his own. The wizard grinned at him before he set a steady rhythm, rising and sinking onto his companion's cock gracefully. "Gods, look at you," Ben panted, eyes rivetted to the sight of their wizard taking his cock so easily, so eagerly.
Prongslet grinned, and deliberately gripped his well-endowed companion's cock as he rose, causing Ben to groan. He laughed wickedly, and took him deep again with a moan of his own. "Love the feel of being full of you," he panted, so hard he was leaking. "So good, so right," he continued with a groan as he shifted just right to graze his prostate.
"You take me so well," Ben panted, running worshipping hands up and down the wizard's sides. "Always."
Prongslet sank deep and came, clenching so hard around Ben that he fell over the edge, spilling his seed deep.
Ben's hands shot to Prongslet's waist before the slighter teen could topple. The wizard lowered himself with shaky arms, and nuzzled his companion's neck affectionately. "Always love doing that," he murmured.
"Is that because it sates more than just your libido?" the King asked gently.
"Probably," he replied, shifting back enough that their gazes could meet. "But I think, even if I one day lose my touch hunger, that I'll still love being touched by you. By all of you," he added decidedly.
Ben grinned. "I know," he replied and kissed him sweetly.
"Who would have thought you'd be the first to have free time today?" he teased with a grin.
"Hey, I've added in a deadline now," he retorted with a grin of his own.
The wizard nodded sagely. "Unless it's an emergency, no business after five," he stated. "Though you still have homework."
"I do, but I'll soon not only catch up, but get ahead of it," he replied. His head tilted. "That wasn't your way of telling me to stop procrastinating, was it?" His companion shook his head vehemently. Ben grinned. "Feeling insatiable, Prongslet?" he purred.
"What are you going to do about it?" he retorted with a wicked grin.
Ben suddenly shifted, so Prongslet found himself on his back, his head facing the door. He opened his mouth, and let out a deep moan as Ben's long, thick, hard cock slid deep inside him. "More," he demanded, eyes filled with lust.
Ben's chuckle was wicked as he began a rapid rhythm, sliding deep with every stroke.
"What a pretty sight to come back to," Harry drawled, smirking when both his companions shivered. He stalked away from the closed door, smirking wickedly as Prongslet tilted his head to look at him. "Eyes on our King," he ordered, tilting the wizard's head. "He deserves your full attention," he drawled, watching Ben's hips speed up. He smirked. "You're both enjoying having me here, aren't you?" he purred, brogue roughening. Both nodded. "Love having me watching you," he continued as he settled at the end of the bed. "I bet you can come just from this Prongslet," he purred. "Just from the feel of Ben's monster of a cock filling your needy hole," he continued, voice wicked. He leant close, brogue roughening further. "Cum for our King," he ordered.
Prongslet fell over the edge, Ben following a split second later. With a smirk, Harry toed off his shoes and settled beside the pair on the bed. His gaze took in both of them before settling on Ben, sweaty and panting hard. "Twice in a short space of time?" he guessed. The King nodded tiredly and Harry helped him to settle back against the pillows. Pronglset let out a protesting noise. "I know, jewel-eyed beauty," he soothed, "you hate feeling empty." He stroked their wizard's cheek gently. "How about I soothe that by cleaning you up?" he asked with a wicked smirk.
Prongslet nodded rapidly, needy eyes meeting those of the First Mate. "My pleasure," he purred, dipping his head for a kiss, before delivering on his promise.

Draco walked into Pronglet's room and found the brunet curled up on the window seat, gazing out the window. "Are you all right?" he asked as he slid behind the lion.
"Better now," he answered honestly, leaning back against the blonde.
"Feeling lonely?" he asked, wrapping his arms around the brunet, smiling when his fellow wizard made a contented noise.
"Yes," he sighed.
"Then why are you alone?" he asked pointedly.
Another sigh. "Ben's busy with King stuff, Jay and Gil are in training, Carlos has a project, Harry is with Uma and crew, you were having a study date with Evie, and Mal is helping Ben as his advisor."
"What about Sirius or Fred and George?"
"Sirius is on a date with Hades, and Fred and George were having a study session with Doug."
"What about Celia, Dizzy and the other VKs?"
"I didn't want them to think they were a last resort." Draco urged him to turn, locking gazes. "I enjoy spending time with them, and I would hate for them to think otherwise, just because I spend more time with others."
"Well," he drawled, cupping his cheek gently, "there is an additional reason you want to spend the extra time with us." Prongslet's eyes filled with heat. "Shall I console you, love? Make up for your lack of company?"
"Please."
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
"Prongslet!" Dizzy called. The wizard turned and waved with a bright smile. She waved him over and he complied. "You don't need to be anywhere, do you?" she asked worriedly as he settled on the grass beside her.
He shook his head, smile warm as he greeted her and all her companions by name. "You okay?" he asked in concern. She nodded rapidly and gave Celia a look. "What is it?" he asked gently.
"I heard you talking yesterday," Celia stated, chin jutting up defiantly.
"You're going to be more specific," he remarked with a smile.
"You and Draco in the afternoon." His eyebrows rose. "In your room," she added.
"Okay, do you need me to give you context on what you heard?"
"You're not mad at me?" she asked softly.
"I did a lot of sneaking around at my old school, as did Fred, George and Sirius," he added with a grin. "It'd be hypocritical of me to be mad at you. I just want to make sure that you heard what was said in context, to make sure you understand what was said in the nature it was meant."
"Not a problem," she stated. She ducked her head. "I was gonna knock and ask you something, then I heard the two of you talking and didn't want to interrupt…"
"And?"
"I left when it sounded like you were about to have a private moment," she spoke hastily. "But I heard what you said about hanging out with us VKs, not just the ones you're close to, and well, I told Dizzy…"
"I passed it on to everyone else," she admitted, gesturing to the others gathered around them. "And, we wanted to tell you-"
"It makes sense that you'd be close with your boyfriends, and Mal, Evie and Uma make sense because they're practically family to some of your boyfriends, but the rest of us, well-"
"Celia," he interrupted, tone chiding. "All of you are amazing. Do you think the other Auradon kids realise how much courage it took for you to even come here, let alone agree to stay and learn here? Not just because you were bracing yourself for their preconceptions, but because you knew that your education wouldn't have been as…rounded as theirs?" He met the eyes of every VK in the circle. "Even if I didn't know 'the core four' or Uma and her crew, I would want to know all of you, and I am proud to think of you all as my friends."
Dizzy threw her arms around his neck with a squeal. He laughed softly and hugged her back.

"Marriage to multiple partners is now legal," Ben announced, and held up a hand before the reporters around him could begin their questions. "There are of course stipulations," he stated. "Everyone within the relationship must be of age, aware and willing," he spoke in a strong voice. "Any parties within the relationship that are already married, must have it dissolved before they can then be part of the multiple marriage," he continued. "This does mean that if an already established poly marriage wish to add another member into their marriage, the current marriage must be dissolved and then the new group will then commit themselves together."
Ben smiled warmly, and again held up a hand to prevent questions. "This is not an excuse so that a married individual can legally cheat on their partner, it is specifically designed so that event cannot happen," he continued, voice firm. "This is so that those that share a true love within a poly relationship can legally marry. After all, don't they deserve their chance at happily ever after too?"
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
Ben walked through a door, glad to close the door on the questions the reporters were still shouting at his retreating back. He glanced up, startled at the sound of clapping, and grinned when he realised all his lovers were there.
"Well done," Draco drawled.
Ben lifted a shoulder. "Well, I'm the King, right?" he retorted. "Why not make it legal?"
Harry hummed. "Yes, well we all know who you would have chosen if you had had to pick a single legal spouse."
"Prongslet," Jay stated.
"Well, yes," the monarch replied. "But that would have only been because I know he can carry to term. Now though, it doesn't matter which of us have babies, they will all be legitimate."
"It's all set then?" Prongslet asked.
"Yes, I made sure not to make the announcement until everything was official," he assured. His eyes flicked to an ornate box sat on the table.
"Now what's in there?" Harry drawled.
"Why don't you look?" he asked with a warm smile. The First Mate stalked gracefully over to the table and lifted the lid of the box. His breath hitched. Nestled within it were six gold rings, all bearing the emblem of Ben's ring. Harry's eyes met his, startled. Ben went down onto one knee. "Will you all marry me?"
HPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDDHPDD
Molly Weasley smiled, having all her family not only in her home, but there for Sunday dinner filling her with a soul-deep contentment. With a deft flick of her wand, the dirty dishes rose from the table, and began to wash themselves. "Before we have dessert," she spoke, her voice easily carrying over the conversations around the table, "do you have something to share with the rest of the family, Harry dear?"
His smile was both shy and happy. "We're engaged," he stated.
"Congratulations mate!" Ron declared, reaching over to clap him on the shoulder.
"Is that legal in your world?" Hermione asked curiously.
"It is now," Draco drawled. Her eyebrows rose. "Ben made it legal," he stated and smirked, "and proposed almost immediately after."
"Well, it was why I'd changed the law," Ben spoke bashfully.
"That's really sweet," Ginny spoke.
"And I'm sure there's more than just your poly relationship in your world," Hermione added.
"Before you start thinking about planning the wedding Mrs Weasley," Prongslet spoke up, blushing as her eyebrows rose. "We all need to graduate school first, before that starts."
"Of course it will, Harry dear," she responded easily. "You will let me know when you begin planning, won't you?"
"Of course Mrs Weasley," both Harrys, Gil, Carlos, Jay, Ben and Draco replied in unison. "Does anyone else have news to share?" Prongslet asked.
"I got a promotion," Bill stated.
Congratulations chimed in from around the table, and Prongslet met the eyes of each of his fiancées with a smile, his whole being filled with such light and happiness he could barely believe it. If he felt only a fifth of this in the years to come, his life would be so much better than he had ever imagined. And he was determined to enjoy every minute of his happily ever after.
