Okay, I am the self proclaimed Queen of Fluff, but I'm going to attempt to return to the original plot now. Oh and "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!" now signifies a short time change.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
"It is almost time my friends. Soon victory will be ours," A hooded and cloaked figure declared as he stood with his arms upraised. A green bonfire framed his figure and cast shadows on a crowd of similarly cloaked people.
"Soon," the figure declared again. The picture dissolved into a swirl of green light accompanied by a feeling of unholy glee.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Harry sat upright in bed gasping. He looked around and noticed the sun peaking over the horizon. He sighed. There was no point in going back to sleep now. He slowly stood and moved to the bathroom. At least he would have first shot at the showers now.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Wufei awoke to realize there were a pair of arms around him. He stiffened before realizing who they belonged to. It seemed it would take him a while yet to get used to being held.
He looked over his shoulder to see George holding him with Fred behind him. He smiled at them and gently disentangled himself from George. He had learned over the past couple of weeks that the twins could be worse than squids or Duo sometimes.
When he had managed to escape George's grasp he paused and looked down at his lovers. George had squirmed backwards into Fred at the loss of warmth and his brother had tightened his grip in response. He smiled tenderly and went to the bathroom.
When he exited he found two pairs of identical sleepy blue eyes watching him.
"Go back to sleep," he said, "I'm just going to exercise."
"No point," Fred said.
"We can't sleep without our Dragon anymore," George continued.
"Besides," Fred said while George yawned, "we were wondering if you would teach us your katas."
They both fell silent and watched him with pleading eyes. Wufei hesitated.
His katas were something he did for himself to calm his mind and leave the chaos of his life behind for a moment. Yet Fred and George had given him so much over the past couple of weeks, it seemed time he gave them something in return.
"Alright," he said. He was immediately hugged of course.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
At the lake Wufei showed them the basic forms that formed the sets of motion that constituted the katas. As he showed them, Wufei realized that he liked teaching the twins. They learned quickly and payed close attention. Eventually he left them to practice on their own and moved to perform the more advanced sets.
As he moved he reflected on their relationship and the changes wrought on his life.
Duo had commented on the unlikeliness of the relationship at the beginning. Wufei had also thought that they wouldn't work, but he had been proved wrong and he was glad he had. The twins seemed to know him so well, it was as though they had been together forever. Despite their rambunctious nature, Fred and George were often quiet. They knew when Wufei needed the silence and when they had to push him. And one of them was always there when he needed someone.
It may not have been obvious to the others but Wufei felt as lost as them in this new world. He was a scholar at heart, yes, but he had been a warrior for the past four years. The war had been his only purpose in his life, the patterns of it were the only things keeping him sane, especially
after the death of his clan. Suddenly it was gone, and he was thrown into a world of legend and myth. The land of storybooks. It was disconcerting to say the least, and Wufei had felt incredibly lost.
But now he had two handholds. Two beautiful, smart, funny handholds. Wufei felt eyes on him and looked over. The twins were standing quietly watching him. He turned to face them.
"You're smiling," Fred said.
"Do share your happy thoughts," George said.
Wufei smiled even deeper and stepped close to him. Hesitantly he reached out his arms. The twins took the invitation and swept him up into one of their hugs. Wufei held them close.
"I was just thinking about how much I love you," he said.
Fred and George both smiled.
"Of course you do," George retorted.
"We do to," Fred continued.
George tapped him on the nose.
"And don't forget it," he said.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Duo hummed to himself as he made his way to breakfast. He was slightly startled when he saw a shadow come from the side and gently pull him into an alcove. He normally would have lashed out, but he recognized Draco. The blond had discovered first hand Duo's soldier reflexes and had learned over the weeks how to avoid them.
Now he pushed Duo against the wall and covered his mouth with his. Duo wound his hands into his hair and pulled him closer. When they parted Duo grinned.
"Miss me?" he teased.
Duo didn't dignify that question with a vocal response. When they parted again, he smiled.
"I'd best go before Quatre gets worried. Shall we meet in the usual room?"
Draco nodded. Duo tapped him on the nose.
"Excellent."
Draco sneered.
"I hate it when you do that," he complained. Duo grinned.
"I know," he said and laughed as he escaped to the Great Hall.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Harry poked at he sausages as his friends joined him.
"Hey mate," Ron greeted him, "Why're you down here so early?"
Harry sighed before speaking in a low voice.
"I had another nightmare last night."
Immediately he had Hermione, Ron and, surprisingly, Duo's complete attention.
"What was it about?" Hermione asked in a hushed voice.
Harry looked around. The other couples were completely wrapped up in each other and Heero was sitting on the opposite side of them. He briefly related what he had seen. When he finished Hermione and Ron began speculating on its meaning. Duo however sat in silence looking puzzled. Then his eyes lit up. Abruptly he stood up. Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Listen," he said, "I have to take care of something, but meet me in the Room of Requirements when you're all done here."
Without waiting for a response he left the Hall. The others looked after him for a moment and then slowly returned to their previous activities. Only Heero's watchful eye caught the blond who also left the room.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Trowa, Quatre, Heero, Wufei, Fred, George, Harry, Hermione, and Ron all left the Hall as a group. Harry led the way to the designated meeting spot. They were somewhat surprised at what greeted them.
A large circle of couches and comfy chairs encircled a low table and faced a large fire place. On one wall stood several bookshelves with a variety of magical items. In fact the room itself rather reminded Harry of the one they had previously used for the DA practices.
The surprising item was comfortably seated in a chair and chatting amicably with Duo. He was, in fact, one Draco Malfoy.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Wow all this time and that's all I came up with. Speaking of which my apologies on the wait. My muse was brutally murdered by my math textbook. The good news is that the resurrection ritual was easy. It mostly just required vast amounts of chocolate ice cream.
A/N: Not really any notes on this one. I wish I had more of the other people in there. Juggling nine characters is difficult. I guess I'll devote a chapter to each of them when we get to a good spot. Review and tell me you're favorites.
Oh, yea. Don't worry Harry and Draco, and Duo and Heero will all end up with each other soon. I like Duo and Draco enough together that they'll stay that way for just a couple more chapters.
Well, ta!
