Hannah sits on the bed, smiling to herself. Once, bedtime had been a simple afraid. All she had to do was change into her pajamas and curl up next to her boyfriend. Now that they've included Susan in their relationship, though, it has become nothing short of chaotic.

"You kiss me!" Neville insists. "There is no difference between that and me using your toothbrush!"

"When I kiss you," Susan says flatly, following Neville into the bedroom, "I'm not using my tongue to get all the little spaces between your teeth! It's disgusting!"

Neville groans, throwing his arms up in exasperation. "I really wish you weren't here right now!"

"Tough!" Susan says irritably as she climbs into bed next to Hannah, her eyes narrowing at Neville. "I live here too! Tell him, Hannah!"

Hannah shakes her head, smoothing out a crease in her emerald green pajamas. "Don't you dare drag me into your childish bickering," she says flatly.

That causes both of her partners to fall silent. Neville and Susan wear identical masks of confusion.

"Childish?" Neville asks, round cheeks blushing a pale pink as he climbs into bed on Hannah's other side.

"Believe what you will. We aren't being childish!" Susan says.

Hannah doesn't bother to argue. It doesn't matter how ridiculous her lovers are or how often Neville and Susan fight like cats and dogs over the most ridiculous things before running to Hannah and expecting her to smooth things over and play referee.

She's never been happier than she is now. When all is said and done, she has two partners who mean the world to her and fill her days with endless joy and wonder.

"I love you," she tells them before kissing each one gently, smiling as they say it back.

Neville waves his wand, casting a quick spell to snuff the candle and plunge the room into total darkness. Hannah curls up, her heart fluttering when Neville and Susan cuddle against her.

Theirs is a strange and unconventional love, but Hannah wouldn't trade it for the world.
