Wizards, Elves, Mates-Oh My! Chapter 7!
"Wakey- Wakey snakes and…"
"Bakey?"
"Why would you bake a snake?"
"I wasn't the one who said snakey! Why would you say that anyway?"
"He's a parselmouth! Why else?"
This is the odd conversation that Harry woke up to. He wasn't really sure if he was awake- who would come to wake someone and end up arguing?
"Fred, George what are you two doing?" Harry groaned, cracking his eyes open (which he was surprised to find hurt just as much as the rest of him.
"Waking you up of course," George stated matter-of-factly.
"But you're damn hard to wake," Fred easily joked. Harry stuck his tongue out before rolling away from them both to snuggle back into the warmth of the blankets.
"Hey!" The twins both laughed causing Harry to start to giggle. Harry was glad the twins were here. Being around the twins was like taking a happy potion-they just made you feel good.
Harry spent the rest of the day in bed goofing off with Fred and George, helping them figure out new pranks and which of their mates was going to get it played on them.
"Harry would you like to come to our room- help us make these pranks come true?" Fred asked getting a twinkle in his eyes that could rival Dumbledore's. Harry shied away from Fred slightly. Was it good to trust someone with sparkly eyes?
"Harry is banned from your room. Merlin knows what is in there," Lucius said, getting the three boys' attention.
"Yeah if he goes near the closet one of your pranks-gone-wrong could jump out and eat him!" Draco joked. George grabbed his chest right over his heart, leaned back until Fred wrapped his arms around him. Fred instantly caught onto George's plan and started to pet George's head.
"Oh the cruelty! Not allowing one of our mates to come with us I think…wait a dang minute! Why are you concerned only for Harry? What about us? One of our 'pranks-gone-wrong' could eat us too!" George protested, Fred just nodded his head in agreement, which made Lucius just roll his eyes as he walked to Harry's side.
"Because, as I said, if he walks close to your closet and we all know you both do not go near it. If you did, it would be clean, thus not a danger to those that wish to help you."
"That was your own bloody fault!" Fred snapped out.
"We told you not to touch it," George half sung.
"Knowing full well that I would touch it!" Draco snapped right back sending all three off into a heated argument.
"What are they going on about?" Harry asked Lucius.
"They once convinced Draco to go to their room. Well, at seeing the disaster of a room, Draco tried to tidy up. The Twins told Draco not to touch the blue cauldron. Thinking they were just joking, Draco grabbed it." Lucius stopped, his eyes glazed over as if he were remembering the time, a small smile tugged the corners of his lips up.
"So what did it do? Change his hair colour? Turn him purple with blue poke-a-dots? Turn him into a dust bunny?"
Lucius snickered lightly. "No, no, nothing like that, they simply turned him into a duck." Harry wasn't sure how Lucius kept a straight face while saying that, because just hearing it sent Harry into a reel of laughter.
"Actually he was a goose!" Fred corrected, breaking away from their own argument for a moment, but was quickly dragged back in when Draco punched him in the arm. Harry just blinked, turning to Lucius.
"Why a goose?" Harry questioned.
"They make a funny noise." George piped in before getting punched by Draco.
"Man you're violent!" Fred shouted.
"And you're an ass!" Draco shouted before turning on his heel and leaving, tears slowly making their way out of his eyes. Fred, George and Lucius all sighed.
"Not it!" Both George and Fred yelled making Lucius sigh once again.
"I will not continually bail you both out," he lightly scolded the twins.
"Fine, why not send Harry after him?" the twins suggested.
"I will not send him after an extremely hormonal, upset, pregnant mate when he has just come into it and is still in enough pain to keep him from standing."
"Whoa, wait. How do you know I'm in pain? Harry questioned, secretly thankful-he really didn't want to get punched. It could probably break his bones right now. As it was, his ribs felt cracked from laughing.
"I am the dominate. I know how all of my mates feel." He huffed, making Fred and George laugh. Harry just looked confused again, had he insulted Lucius? "If you excuse me I must go calm him…again." Lucius gave the three remaining boys a kiss on the forehead- plus a cuff upside the head to the twins- before leaving to find Draco.
"Man, he's way too much fun." George giggled the moment the door closed.
"Fun to tease." Fred corrected, starting to giggle along with his brother/mate. Seeing the two lean on each other made Harry blush and curse his teenage hormones.
"Look Gred, Little Harry's blushing." Fred continued laughing.
"Harry, you should keep your mind out of the gutter." Making them both laugh before getting a pillow in their faces. "OI" they both yelled causing Harry to start to laugh and wonder if someone filled the room with laughing gas.
"So what made you blush in the first place Harry?" George asked after he and Fred stole all the pillows.
"I was just thinking-"
"A dangerous thing!" Fred interrupted.
"A stressful thing, no wonder he went red," George joined in.
"I'm not Ron!" Harry protested, "I don't think thinking is too much work." As the last word left his mouth they all started laughing (poor Ron, his stupidity is so great). Harry thought his ribs were going to crack from all the protesting.
"Alright so what were you thinking about?" Fred finally gasped out.
"I was just wondering….um…if you two ever…you know…diditwitheachother," Harry rushed out, pulling the covers over his face. But he didn't hear any laughter so he slowly brought the blanket down only to see two very red-faced redhead twins, with their mouth and noses pressed into the pillows, shaking like a card attached to a moving bike spoke.
"You two are asses!" Harry yelled wishing he had another pillow to throw, sadly any anger in his words was cancelled out by the huge smile plastered to his face.
"No we just have two asses!"
"That we have filled."
"Using the other, to fill it!" they gasped out before falling victim to another bout of laughter.
"So you have used your twin's ass to fill your ass? How's that work?" Harry questioned, his cheeks starting to hurt from smiling so much.
"Smart ass!" The twins chorused, making Harry's smile become wider.
"Yes I am smart and yes I do have an ass." Harry's smile could only be described as cheeky even as his cheeks were still flushed pink.
"You two are a horrible influence on the boy." Again the three boys turned to the door. This time Severus stood in it.
"Are we?"
"Or is he the one being a bad influence on us?"
"He did give us the starting money to open our shop."
"Did you really?" Severus asked, staring directly at Harry, even as the twin protested.
"It was the Triwizard Tournament money, I didn't need it and I felt bad it should have been Cedric's." Harry mumbled, forcing Severus to strain his ears to hear. Instantly Harry was wrapped in a twin blanket.
"Wasn't your fault Harry. It was moldyshort's. You did nothing wrong," George soothed attempting to rock Harry while Fred held them steady.
"Yes, turn one of the most powerful, and dark wizards alive today to a child's joke," Severus grumbled. "Alright now both of you out. Stay away from the drawing room, and your bedroom. And no snacks!"
"Yes mum!" The twins yelled as they ran from the room.
"As for you." Severus turned back to Harry, giving Harry a flashback of all the times he had been in trouble. Now Harry dearly wished that Fred and George were back here, that way they would get him out of trouble, most likely getting themselves into trouble in the process.
"You need to get up and walk around." Severus commanded. Harry instantly bucked at the idea.
"No way! I'll fall flat on my face!" Harry stubbornly crossed his arms, no way was he moving! Not only did it hurt but the blankets were so tangled around his legs that they would have to cut them away to be free. Harry was no more willing to cut the blankets then to be a caterpillar.
"You will not fall."
Harry huffed. Severus was obviously trying to be funny.
"You won't- I will be beside you making sure of it." With a swipe of his wand, the blankets were removed and folded neatly at the end of the bed. "Now, Harry," Severus commanded, pushing Harry's legs over the side of the bed. Severus grabbed Harry's arm in a firm grip, not tight enough to hurt or even leave a bruise, just hard enough to keep Harry from falling- or as it was helping him get off the bed. When Harry was finally standing Severus wrapped his free arm around Harry's waist holding him up firmly.
'I can't believe Severus Snape is not only helping me! The greasy git of the dungeons, the man who hates me because of my father, is not only helping me but is my mate! Which reminds me…' Harry thought as he was half dragged across the room to the door.
"Prof…Snape." He corrected at the death glare Severus shot him, even with the correction it only dimmed. Severus was still glaring, but it could only burn through skin and bone, not concrete. "How come I can't feel the cold anymore? I bet even your classroom feels warm now." Again the glare was so intense it could burn through concrete as if it were butter.
"It is due to your inheritance. It will keep you from feeling hot or cold," Severus explained cryptically.
"Wish I had that last year," Harry sighed, only now noticing they were standing in front of a new door. When had they left his room?
"Just a moment Harry." Severus opened the door and yelled 'Enough Pranks' before shutting the door and pulling Harry three more doors down the hall. At the fourth door they stopped.
"Welcome to our bedroom."
"Our?"
"Yes. You, Lucius, Fred, George, Draco and myself," Severus calmly explained.
"You all sleep in one room?" Harry had always had a 'room' to himself, a cramped room but one none the less. If this one fit 6 grown men. Just how big was it?"
"In one bed." Severus almost laughed at the look Harry gave him. Harry's eyes were so wide, tea cup saucers would look mouse size. His face had drained, so what little colour he had gained back did a vanishing act.
"Alright…well you lot enjoy the room, I'm going back to mine." Harry attempted to get away from Severus' embrace but only got pulled tighter to the man's chest.
"Relax Harry! You'll look like a kitten snuggled between us all." Harry jumped at the voice directly behind him.
"Yeah snuggled between Gred and myself."
"He will not be between you two for some time. You still have to apologize to Draco. Hm, I wonder if he will make you sleep in your own rooms again."
"Oh come on Sev, you could convince him otherwise." Fred tried giving Severus a puppy dog pout, sadly it looked like a snarling wolf playing with a puppy.
"Unlikely. Now Harry in you go." With a small push to Harry's lower back, Harry moved so Severus and Harry were moved into the room with Fred and George following right behind.
Harry had been expecting a large bed but the bed he walked in on was way beyond what he could have thought of. It was so large that it could fit twelve Uncle Vernons with still enough room for them to be comfortable. It was completely covered with a single black fur blanket with two other quilts draped over the far side foot corner of the bed. It also had six different sized pillows all covered in black silk resting against the headrest, not artistically placed but not thrown there ether.
"Harry close your mouth it looks awful." Snape interrupted Harry's thoughts.
"Oh come on Sev, he could look cute if,"
"He was on hands and knees, without clothes."
"On the bed."
"With us around him."
"Then it would be irresistible." Fred and George said with huge smiles plastered on their faces.
"Wow, five mates and you both are still this horny?" Harry asked flabbergasted.
"It's the elf in us." George said before both himself and Fred clamped their hands over George's mouth.
"Out." Just then a rare phenomenon happened. The twins ran out of the room, not only silently but without making a comment back, they had actually listened!
"Wow, wait what?" Harry said twisting between looking at the door and looking at Snape. "What did they mean?"
"Nothing, ignore them." Snape tried coaxing Harry forward. Sadly his attempt failed.
"No, I want to know! If they are elves then what are Draco, Mr. Malfoy and what are you!" Harry rattled off talking more to himself then to Snape.
"If I give you a clue will you go to bed?"
"I will get in bed but only if you give me the clue." Harry accepted, figuring he would be forced anyway.
"What you went through when you were bonding, or rather matured will help you. It gives you a hint to how each of your mates feel temperature."
A/N- Can anyone guess what everyone is?
