Shadow woke up with a moan, shivering, feeling the hands running along his sides and chest. Noticing that he was awake finally, Midnight ran his hand along his thigh making Shadow squirm and lean up before capturing Midnight in a kiss. Midnight gave just as good as he got and eventually the two pulled away panting. Darkness trailed his nails inside the curve of Shadow's sides making Shadow shiver and whimper. "Darkness." Darkness chuckled lightly, while Midnight rubbed circles on the mark he had made on the right of Shadow's neck. The two moved to Shadow's neck and began licking and nipping. Shadow bared his neck for them and Darkness trailed kisses to his lips. Midnight paused long enough to allow Darkness to kiss Shadow before continuing his kisses. Antagonizingly slow their hands wandered low and by then Shadow had added his own torture to the game. His hands wandered over both of their forms and he kissed their necks and chests making them moan in pleasure. Eventually none of them could take no more and as they came bit and drank from one another only heightening the sensation to newer levels. They fell back to the bed and snuggled Shadow in between them. They lay there for a while before Shadow none to gently told them he wished for a bath. They chuckled and climbed out of bed, Midnight carrying him while Darkness got their new clothes, to the swimming pool bathtub.

They stripped and slid into the bathtub pool. They slipped underneath the water wetting their hair so it could be washed. Darkness' midwaist black hair pooled around him floating on top of the water. Once Shadow had his hair wet he went and sat on one of the ledges and beckoned Darkness to him. He poured a generous amount of shampoo into his hand and lathered it through his hair, working it in and causing Darkness to purr. Once Shadow was finished he lightly pushed Darkness. "Damn, now I know how you feel when we do that." "Payback's a bitch hmm?" "Not if it feels this good." Shadow laughed. "I'll do the conditioner too if you hurry." Darkness immediately slipped under the water and then started rinsing out his hair. Midnight popped up and gave sad puppy eyes to Shadow who just twirled his finger, and happy to do so, Midnight turned his brown shoulder length hair to him. He lathered Midnight's hair as well and once he was done Midnight whimpered at the loss of his hands to his hair. "Rinse." Midnight pouted but did so. Not to long after he came back and Shadow laughed but nonetheless ran the conditioner through his hair. Once Midnight was done he turned to Shadow who slid back into the water and allowed Midnight to return the favor. His shoulder length black hair was then gifted with the same treatment and care that theirs had been. Darkness finally came back and Shadow pulled him in front of him and conditioned his hair. From there Midnight and Shadow took over to get all the conditioner out of Darkness' hair.

"I'm going to cut your hair."

"Don't you dare!"

"Nah! I like it long. It just takes forever to wash." Darkness sighed and they laughed at him.

They took washrags and made quick, although caring work on cleaning each other so they could get out and dressed. This was their fourth day here and they were taking it for whatever they could get from it. They climbed out and dressed and went back to the bedroom. Turning to see the clock it said 6:15 am. They sighed. After all that and they still couldn't leave the common room for another 15minutes. Severus had made sure of that, though there were special circumstances.

"Do we have homework?"

"I honestly have no idea. I don't remember too much of yesterday."

"That's for the best then," replied Darkness.

"We finished Ancient Runes in class.

"Potions?"

"Finished."

"Muggle Studies?"

"No."

"Herbology?"

"Finished."

"COMC?"

"Finished."

"DADA?"

"No."

"We have Double Transfiguration, Potions, and COMC again," spoke up Shadow.

"Then we may well finish the other two assignments." They nodded and spread out across the bed after a cleaning charm was cast and worked on their essays.

"We also have astronomy tonight," Midnight input.

"That'll be fun. I guess I won't be allowed to talk." They chuckled.

"Yes, you and our beliefs won't stand for certain things they shall say. I still remember you getting kicked out of the religion class for supposably being an atheist."

He crossed his arms. "Wasn't my fault. What's the essay on in DADA anyway?"

"You were that far gone yesterday?" He nodded.

"We had Muggle Studies and Potions the first night. Everyone had one class before lunch and after it. We had Potions first again, DADA, COMC, Herbology, and then Ancient Runes."

"Two in, two out, one in." They nodded. "So we only five classes a day with two on Saturday morning even though they gypped us and made us take them on Sunday?" They nodded again. "I so don't remember that." Midnight, who was closest, kissed him on the forehead.

"I guess that's good. What's the easiest way to kill a vampire?"

"Please tell me you are joking."

"No, and the Professor is worse. He's scared of his own subject. Stutters like hell. You have no idea how tempted I was to transform and without the moon just to see his face." Shadow laughed.

"That would have been hilarious. How long does it have to be?"

"Enough to answer the question."

Shadow looked to Darkness and smirked and Darkness nodded. "Give them hell luv." Midnight groaned.

They all finished up their Muggle Studies essay and was about to start on the Defense one when a knock made them look up.

Draco passed by the door and could tell they were still in so knocked on the door twice sharply. "Wake up call." After he knocked he moved on so if they got up and opened it he would be nowhere near.

They shrugged and continued to start their essays after Darkness checked the time then waved his hand. They had time. When Shadow had finished he was cackling and the two just looked at him with a puzzled look before he burst out laughing and rolled off the bed. (He fell but that's undignified.) Midnight picked up the letter and skimmed it before shaking his head and handing it over to Darkness. Darkness read it through and looked at him. "I'm detecting a trend here."

"It's not my fault I killed the bastard. He deserved it," said Shadow looking up once he stopped laughing.

"They are going to kill me for letting you turn this in, you know that right?"

"But, but you wouldn't deny me my fun would you? I've been good so far. No pranks. Everyone's still alive…" Shadow pouted. Darkness laughed and handed him his paper.

"Alright. Come on, its time for breakfast." Midnight finished his up before rolling it up and slipping it in his bag.

"Breakfast then Double Transfiguration, here we come."

"Do you have to be so melodramatic Mid?"

"Of course I do." They wrapped arms around Shadow and walked into the Great Hall. The first thing Darkness noticed was that the headmaster wasn't happy that they were back to being buddy buddy. He didn't really care though and so sat down pulling Shadow into his lap just to piss the man off further. After breakfast where no one dared to say anything about the night before, they finished eating and headed off for Transfiguration.

The first thing they noticed upon entering was a cat sitting on the desk. "I told you she smelled like a neko."

"That you did. I just didn't pay enough attention to care."

Shadow glared at him. "You know that could get you killed." Darkness nodded and they ended their discussion by sitting.

"Have you see Professor McGonagall?"

"No, but there is a cat on her desk."

"I know that." He pulled out his wand just as McGonagall changed back.

"Ten points from Gryffindor Mr. Thompson."

He turned to Shadow. "You said you hadn't seen her."

"I do not lie, steal, or cheat. I did not see her but yes I knew who she was. There is a difference." McGonagall looked at him and he stared back at her.

"You will not need your books today. Everyone please pull out your wands and place them on your tables. You will need to take notes first though."

After they took the notes and knew the theory they were allowed to turn a match into a needle. Within two tries they each had a perfect needle on their desks.

"Congratulations Mr. Kuro's. 30 points to Slytherin." They nodded.

"Thank you."

Since they had nothing better to do now that they had finished within the first 30 minutes of 2 hours and after they had changed it back into a match with her asking, Shadow decided to make the match more useful. He turned it back into a needle and then with a bit of concentration created a sharp knife. Darkness looked at him and he handed it over. "Interesting." He gave it back and then they went about experimenting with what they could create. In the end Shadow had created a silver pendant. Looking at it, Darkness created a backing to slide it into. Not to be left out Midnight turned his needle into a silver chain and with Shadow manipulating it again to leave a small hole Midnight slipped the chain through and then Shadow let go of the hole causing it to close.

At the end of the lesson when McGonagall asked for everyone to hand in their needled they looked at her sheepishly and she turned to them. "And what have you done with your needles?" Shadow lifted the pendant and held it in his hand. She gaped at them. "That. That is not possible. You are only first years. Not even most grown wizards can do what you have done in your first lesson."

"Umm, actually this isn't the first time I've transfigured something though at the time I didn't really know what it was called," replied Shadow. They remembered. He had turned a butterknife into a dagger. And a sharp dangerous one at that.

"What did you do?"

Shadow looked at Darkness who shrugged. It was his choice. He shrugged in response. "You more than likely really don't want to know but I turned a butterknife into a dagger and killed someone that attacked me."

She gasped. "That shouldn't be possible."

"You…you killed someone?"

The three of them laughed and hard. "How many should be your question."

"But, but your only eleven," the girl responded.

Shadow looked thoughtful. "I'm at 39 and I killed the first one when I was, what 4 ½." They stared at him. "28 and that's only cause I let you get three of mine. 6 years old," Midnight supplied. "47 and at age 3," replied Darkness. "Damn, your still ahead of us." Darkness shook his head. Everyone stared at them as if they were insane. The bell rang and they calmly walked out. Shadow poked his head back in the door. "Umm, do you really want out matches Professor?" "I would like to be able to study it if you don't mind." They nodded and Shadow handed it over before telling the class that the class was over. Everyone rushed out then.

"That was priceless. I think we scared them."

"I'm sure of it Shade." (Shadow)

They walked the rest of the way to Potions in semi-quiet. The class went by rather well, once again no accidents. It was towards the end that a Gryffindor decided that he was going to try to trash a Slytherin's potion. This particular potion just so happened to belong to Darkness, Midnight, and Shadow. As is flew across the room, Darkness caught it and ever so calmly turned to Weasley. "I suggest that next time you try to sabotage someone's potion, you do it when they are not paying attention. You may wish to watch your potion." The threat was clear to everyone. No one said anything. After everyone had filed out, once again there were four students left behind. Severus hugged his three sons before turning to Draco and hugging him as well. They looked at him and he smirked. "My godson, your cousin, Draconis. Darkness, Midnight, and Shadow." "Pleasure." "Pleasure is ours," Darkness purred and Draco shuddered. "Be nice Kuro." He winked at Draco and Draco smiled. It had been to rile Shadow up. "I did mean what I said though. You are beautiful." Draco blushed. It had been forever since someone other than his mate had told him such. "You are definitely Siri's son." "Is that a bad thing?" "No, but he is a perv some," Severus coughed, "most of the time." "You four will be late. Be swift and silent." They nodded and left.

Care of Magical Creatures turned out to be very interesting. Hagrid was telling them about Hippogriff's when out of the blue there were two blurs that ran out of the forest and jumped on Shadow. Draco watched to see what Darkness was going to do and tilted his head to the side when he did nothing but smile. Everyone watched as the three forms rolled around in the dirt and after a while they watched as Shadow pinned the two forms beneath him. Shadow looked down at them and they both tilted their heads to the side and bared their necks in a sign of submission. One turned from a werewolf into a child, and the other a vampire, also a child pulled in his wings. Shadow crawled off of them after nodding. They immediately flung themselves at him and he hugged them before giving them a hard look. Both ducked their heads but made no move to move.

"I thought I made it perfectly crimson that you were to remain at home and hidden."

"You left and didn't say goodbye. You were supposed to come back. You promised."

"And it is my fault he broke that promise little one's. There was trouble before we could return and then we found our fathers."

They ducked again and then smiled. "So 'kay then." Shadow wrapped them in his arms and they snuggled in.

"It seems as though you've now saved us a trip for this weekend." They turned to him disbelief written on their faces. "Please Alpha, don't leave us." "I am not leaving you little one's. We will return this weekend just as we always have." They sighed and relaxed. "You'll come back Master?" "Yes little one, we'll come back. You can sleep for now before I send you on your way home." They nodded and then lowered their heads. "You cannot stay little ones. It is not safe here and I don't trust many as far I can throw one of my daggers." They nodded again and settled in to sleep.

"Well that went rather well."

"I should punish them for this but there really is no point in it because I know they would do it again."

"They are your children to deal with."

"Thanks, love you to."

Midnight laughed. "Old married couple already." They turned to him. "Eep. Hide me." They laughed.

"Sorry for the interruption Professor. We will keep it down." Hagrid nodded and went back to teaching.

After that and right before the end Shadow woke them up. "It is time for you to return home." They clung to him, refusing to let go. When Darkness moved towards them they both growled at him. Immediately Shadow pulled the little vampire's face towards him. "When was last you fed?" "When you left." He turned to Darkness. "I have to get them to our room now." He nodded. "Be swift." Shadow started running and they took off after them going slow enough that they would still be considered mortal until they reached the first hall and the shadows. They immediately jumped to their rooms. Shadow secured the bed for him and the two little ones and immediately fed the vampire from his wrist. The werewolf he slit his other on his teeth and let him drink before he turned to Darkness who went to their trunk and pulled out some bread and tossed it to him. After they were fed he made them eat two pieces of bread each and they calmed down and their eyes turned from crimson and amber back to their original colors.

"Sleep until astronomy, then we'll send them home. Shadow nodded and pulled them closer to him and they wrapped their arms around him. Darkness smiled at them and then he and Midnight left. They needed to talk to Severus.
