Chapter 36: Losing restraints

8th of October 1999

"How was Voldemort defeated anyway? Which one of you killed him in the end?" Hermione asked her boyfriends the next morning while she snuggled against their warm bodies. They had a great day yesterday and Hermione enjoyed finally being with them, without having this big uncertainty hanging between them. She could tell that Fabian and Gideon were finally able to be themselves again. They must have been holding back a lot during the last weeks because suddenly they were much more affectionate and it wasn't rare that one of them suddenly pulled her into a lingering kiss. Hermione kind of enjoyed that new openly affectionate side of her twins.

"We didn't do it, Dumbledore did," Gideon said and played with her hair again. "He showed up shortly after the goblins stormed out of Gringott's and joined the fight. By that point, all the Death Eaters were so distracted, that we could hand over the Horcruxes to Grabruk, who was luckily in a good enough condition to finish them off for good. That's when the Headmaster arrived and duelled Voldemort. I've never seen anything like it."

Hermione nodded deep in thought. "Maybe you could show me in the Pensive one day. I'd love to see it." But her mind was already trying to comprehend what that new information meant. She hummed and started gnawing on her bottom lip. "Did you ever find out, who betrayed us in the end? Because I am sure it wasn't a coincidence that those Death Eaters waited for us in Little Hangleton."

Fabian, who was lying on his back next to her, sighed heavily. "We never found out, to be honest. I am almost sure that Dumbledore and Severus were the only ones who knew that we planned to go there. But both of them proved to be on our side in the end. It's all very mysterious."

"Maybe one of them was watched or overheard by a Death Eater," Gideon proposed and yawned. "I guess we'll never find out, after so many years."

"I guess you're right," Hermione admitted with a grumble. Because she didn't like the idea of that at all.

sssssss

"Stop fidgeting Sunshine," Fabian whispered into her ear as they walked the small footpath up to the Burrow. "There's no reason for you to be nervous." But that was easier said than done. Molly's dinner invitation for the three of them arrived during breakfast that morning and Hermione couldn't help but wonder how much the woman knew about her new established relationship with the twins and if that was the reason for the sudden invitation. But even more, she was worried what all the other Weasleys would say when they learned that Hermione was in a relationship with their uncles. She didn't really care what they thought but she still hoped that the news would be received well.

"I'm trying," she whined and brushed her curls behind her ears but she knew, that they wouldn't stay there for long. That bought her a smile from her boyfriends and led to them taking her hands into theirs and leading her up the path across the huge garden of the Burrow. Molly already waited for them in the front door and looked at them with a wide smile.

"There you are," she said and opened her arms to pull them into a hug. The twins accepted it willingly and went straight into her arms but Hermione stayed back uncertainly. She and Molly weren't that close in this timeline after all. But the Weasley Matriarch would have none of it and as soon as she had let go of her brothers, she stepped in front of Hermione with a motherly smile. "And now to you Hermione, welcome to the family," she said and not even a moment later she pulled her into her arms and didn't let go of her for a very long while. "I'm so glad you finally remember everything. Those two were beside themselves after losing you," Mrs Weasley started as soon as she let go of Hermione, but Gideon pulled Hermione into a house with an awkward smile. "But we are fine now, end of story Mol's," he said and looked at his sister with a stern expression. The Weasley Matriarch nodded with a sigh and led them into the house. As Hermione had expected, the whole Weasley family was gathered around the large dinner table. While Fred and George pulled her into a simultaneous hug and kissed her cheeks with wide matching grins, the other members of the family looked at her with a raised brow and Hermione got the impression that some of them were quite surprised to see her at such a family gathering. Especially Ron looked at her with something like a sour expression and Hermione was sure he remembered their last meeting and her behaviour towards him. She was sure that such a prominent Quidditch star as Ron wasn't used to be told off by women her age but Hermione thought that it might eventually have done him some good, at least she hoped so.

"What's she doing here?" he whispered towards Ginny but Hermione was still able to hear and rolled her eyes. She didn't seem to be the only one, as Fabian looked at him with a raised brow and said: "Aren't we allowed to bring our girlfriend?"

The room was filled with immediate silence and one would have been able to hear a pin drop. Hermione had the feeling that all eyes suddenly were on her and more than a single pair of them was widened in surprise.

"She's shagging you both?" Ron asked his uncles in a flustered tone and for a moment Hermione was shocked speechless by his words, but not so her boyfriends.

"Not your business jackass," Gideon reminded his nephew with a stern look. "Neither Fabian nor I ever asked after your romantic adventures with your various girlfriends, even though I am sure you are quite proud of them. I would like to ask the same amount of decorum of you."

"That's like asking a dog to sing an opera," Fred murmured to Hermione and rolled his eyes. "Ickle Ronniekins will never be able to establish something like manners or restraint." He put his arm around her shoulder. "I'm happy for the three of you, you know? You look positively radiant in the moments you're not embarrassed by my family and want to be swallowed by the ground."

Hermione rolled her eyes at him, but George was at her other s a moment later. "Just ignore the prick," he said quietly and pressed her arm. "I don't know where he was hiding when my parents tried to teach him some manners. I've never seen my uncles so happy and I'm pretty sure you're the reason for that."

She nodded with a sigh and a small smile on her lips but didn't say anything in return.

"Would you like to come over to the shop sometime this week?" Fred asked in the hope to distract her from the lecture Molly and her brothers seemed to give Ron, but Hermione still heard it with half an ear. "We've tried to replicate some of the products you showed us in your memories," George added "and we'd love if you could take a look. You're our new business partner after all."

She nodded. "I'd love to come over. We could also make a short trip to Gringott's to settle your debt with the goblins and when you're finally free of that, we'll make plans for a little make-over of your shop. What do you think?"

Fred and George blinked at her open-mouthed for a moment, before they sandwiched her in a hug between them. "You're sure you don't want to marry us?" Fred said with a boyish grin before he winked at his uncles who stared at them with twitching corners of their mouths.

Hermione grinned. "Sorry to disappoint you, boys, but I'm most definitely taken." She flashed her boyfriends a winning smile and before she knew what was happening, Fabian had pulled her into a stormy kiss, followed by his brother. The room around them erupted in cheers and wolf-whistles and if Ron was murmuring something inappropriate under his breath, everybody ignored him – even Hermione.

ssssssss

It was very late when Hermione, Gideon and Fabian finally stumbled back into their home. Yes somehow Prewett House had gotten her home too during the last weeks and she didn't even consider getting a place for herself any longer, even though she had the money to do so now. She didn't really want to have to leave the twins in the evenings and only see them when they had agreed to meet each other. Hermione wanted to spend as much time in their presence as possible, which had never happened to her with any other person. Even with Ron, she was happy to have some hours on her own to have time for reading and studying, but as the Prewetts were brilliant and studious on their own, they never got in her way and even helped her from time to time. When that realisation finally hit her, it was all Hermione needed to know because suddenly she had her answer.

"I am sure being with you is what I want," she said just as they were about to crawl into bed together. By now Fabian's room had somehow become their shared bedroom and Hermione's own bed lay empty since the night when she had regained her last memories. Her adoring boyfriends seemed more than happy with this new arrangement. "I don't care that you are older, that you both want to be with me or whatever it is, you think I might care about because I don't. I love you, both of you and I want to be with you in any way possible."

Fabian and Gideon stared at her for a short moment, before a wide grin spread on their faces. "Brilliant," they chorused before they stepped in front of her and Gideon kissed her soundly while Fabian snuggled into her side. Hermione could immediately feel that this kiss was different from the ones they had shared before. Gideon's tongue was in her mouth within seconds and while he buried his hands in her hair, Fabian's hands started to roam her body as he nibbled on the skin of her throat.

"Tell us if you want us to slow down," the latter murmured and a moment later he reached her neck. There his teeth scraped across her sensitive skin before she felt him carefully suck her neck at the same place. She moaned into his brother's mouth, but that only seemed to encourage them further.

"Bed," she gasped in between kissed as she felt her knees starting to buckle. Gideon nodded with a smile on his lips and not even a moment later she felt him turn her around with his hands on her hips and march her to the bed, without breaking the kiss. It was only a few steps before she felt her legs hit the edge of the mattress but her boyfriend simply pushed her further and Hermione stumbled back onto the bed with a surprised squeak. She expected him to climb into bed next to her but instead, his brother Fabian was on top of her a moment later to claim her mouth.

"I wanted to do this for ages," he confessed in between kisses while his fingers started roaming over her belly. It wasn't long until they reached the hem on the bottom of her shirt and started pushing it up to have access to the skin that was hidden underneath. Hermione looked at him with wide eyes and a heavily beating heart.

"I'm sure as hell not stopping you because this feels wonderful," she confessed with pink cheeks and brushed her thumb against his cheekbone. "Just tell me if you want me to do something because I kind of feel out of my depth."

"Don't worry about us, love," Gideon said and suddenly appeared behind her. He must have climbed the bed from the other side because suddenly he looked down at her with his face upside down. "Fabian and I will be fine, no matter if you just want to lie back or try something on your own."

She blinked at him in confusion. "But what if… I'm not sure if I can do this with the both of you today." Hermione felt her cheeks heating up in embarrassment but the two redheads looked at her with kind, blue eyes.

"Do what?" Fabian said and pressed a slow kiss on her lips while Gideon stroked her hair with his hands. "Say it Hermione."

She hesitated for a short moment but then she pulled herself together and said: "I'm not sure if I can sleep with you both tonight. I have no idea if this will hurt or I'll be sore or… whatever."

Gideon nodded in understanding and his twin did so too a moment later. "We didn't expect you to, love. Don't worry, the twin bond will make sure, that neither of us will feel left out as we'll be able to feel what the other one feels."

Hermione looked at them with wide eyes. "Everything?"

They shrugged unconcernedly. "If we want to…" Fabian said with a lazy smile before his hand trailed higher under her shirt. Hermione squirmed against his hand impatiently and before she realized what she was doing, she pulled him down into a feverish kiss. He followed her invitation without hesitation and brushed his tongue against hers before he started exploring her mouth. Hermione simply let go and closed her eyes. She stopped cataloguing who of them did what and simply enjoyed the feeling of their hands on her naked skin and in her hair. Their lips seemed to be everywhere at once and it wasn't long until she lay moaning and panting below them and looked up at them with glassy eyes. Both of her redheads that had positioned themselves at both of her sides looked down at her with a smug grin. "Enjoying yourself?" Fabian asked with an unmistakable glint in his blue eyes while he stroked her swollen bottom lip with his thumb.

"More than I have words for," she admitted and smiled happily at her boyfriends. "You?"

"Absolutely," he said and pulled her into another heated kiss that left her breathless after only seconds and let her close her eyes again to be able to feel everything that was going on. One of their hands had found her way between her legs and did things that lit a fire which wasn't about to die down anytime soon. Oh! There was definitely a mouth kissing its way up her sides until it closed itself around her nipple and started sucking it carefully. She moaned but the sound was swallowed by the twin kissing her mouth with growing passion and so Hermione buried her hands in his hair instead.

If they went on like this she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. The last sensible thought had already left her brain and there was nothing left but hunger and passion. She didn't care and kept encouraging her boyfriends with her lips and hands and the increasingly desperate moans that seemed to keep coming from her mouth. It seemed to be working because a part of her brain registered that they were panting and moaning almost as much as she did.

"Love you," she heard Gideon say into her ear before he started sucking at the pulse point at her neck and her body bucked beneath him in lust. She wanted more, she needed more but they seemed to sense her thoughts, as Fabian's voice suddenly whispered into her other ear. "Can we make love to you, Love?"

She nodded with almost something like desperation. "Gods yes, please," she moaned, as the hand between her legs started stroking her there, where she liked it the most.

She saw him smile with glinting eyes. "Good. Do you trust us?"

She nodded, but instead of a coordinated answer, only another moan left her mouth. He didn't seem to mind at all.

"Close your eyes. Or do you want to pick one of us to be your first…" Hermione shook her head and looked at him with wide eyes.

"No, I… I think I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I actually don't want to have to decide between the two of you at all."

Fabian smiled knowingly at her. "Then you won't. Close your eyes," he instructed her and a moment later his lips were on hers again. She let herself enjoy the kiss and get lost in it, but after while his lips disappeared and for a moment she wanted to open her eyes to find out, where he had disappeared to. She resisted though and after a short moment, there was another pair of lips on her mouth again. Was it him? Or was it Gideon? Hermione wasn't able to tell but she honestly didn't care because suddenly she felt the person on top of her shift and position himself between her legs. She felt the heart in her chest speed up in anticipation. Hermione didn't have to wait long, because suddenly she could feel him against her entrance and for a moment she felt the urge to stiffen, but suddenly she got distracted by some clever fingers playing with her nipple again. And just as she threw her head back and moaned into the mouth that so skilfully kissed her, her boyfriend buried himself inside her. It was nothing like what she had expected. Hermione had heard from many friends that it could be painful the first time but either she was too distracted to notice or she was simply lucky. Because, apart from the slightly uncomfortable feeling to be stretched by something big inside of her, she felt fine, very fine. She communicated this with a desperate moan and a hungry kiss on whoever's mouth. What followed was a simultaneous moan from both of her boyfriends, before one of them started moving on top of her and the feeling of it was slowly but steadily increasing the fire that already raged inside of her. Hermione allowed being swallowed by it completely. Her fingers dug into her boyfriend's back and she could hear him moan on top of her just as she tipped over the edge and she pulled him against her while her body shuddered as she found her release. It was obviously enough to send them over the edge too, because not a second later she heard Fabian and Gideon moan her name in desperation before the body over her tensed and bucked, while another man shuddered with passion next to her. Then, for a moment, none of them moved before the boyfriend on top of her rolled down and cuddled himself against her other side, so that her sated and tired body was now comfortably sandwiched between the two of them.

"That was…" she started but suddenly she was at a loss for words or better, she couldn't decide for one that would describe everything she felt at once.

"Yeah," both of them agreed breathlessly and pulled her closer. Obviously, they had understood her anyway and totally agreed with her because both of them sounded like Hermione felt: blissfully happy and satisfied.
