Chapter 18- Christmas at Wisteria Meadows, love grows, understandings reached

Severus wanted this Christmas to be special and insisted Fred, George and Blaisé help him decorate as soon as their exams ended. Percy and Oliver ended up joining them as well.

They located what the twins called the perfect tree, Severus watched as they all carried it in and started to decorate it with a mixture charms and Transfiguration.

Soon the halls were be decked in holly and wreaths, there was snow on the front lawn, and they had even put the fairy lights charm on the outside of the house so it sparkled.

There was a knock on the door, they let the house elves answer it.

Dobby came in, "Master Lucius is here with a gift, Master.

The house elves that Narcissa insisted on giving them still consider Lucius and Narcissa to be their true masters but they were willing to serve Severus because they had been ordered to.

Lucius strode in, his robe striding behind him like a cape. 'Ah Severus, I hoped I might find you here. I brought a gift because it was snowing. Come outside and see."

Severus cast a warming charm on himself, "Sure, I'll come."

Outside was a sleigh and large horses.

Lucius smirked, "Someone mentioned you were seeing someone, I thought you might like the idea of a sleigh ride. The weather is perfect, we'll have a white Christmas for sure."

Severus flushed, "Draco!" he muttered under his breath.

Lucius rest a hand on his shoulder, "You deserve to be happy, Severus. I can't wait to meet them."

Severus muttered, "You've met them."

"Of course I have. It's Professor Lupin. His behavior when we dealt with Sirius Black was clue enough. He seems to really care about you, if he can make you happy that's all Narcissa and I wish for."

Severus bit his lip, "Thanks for the sleigh, I'm sure we'll all use it at some point."

Percy shifted nervously, "I'm not sure I should go home, Mum has been rather silent about my telling her about Oliver."

"I have no objection to you spending Christmas day with your family but you did promise to spend most of the winter holidays getting a feel for your duties as my assistant. You did want to look at the apartments I have in London, didn't you? I'm sure that you two would like to pick one out. It would be interesting since your friends might decide to give you gifts for your future home." Lucius said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

Percy shifted nervously, "Of course, I'd forgotten. I don't mind keeping my promise. Any excuse not to go back to the Burrow. Honestly, Mum is more then a little over-bearing. Besides, I don't want to deal with Ron, I feel sorry for Ginny though."

Lucius smiled, "It is nice to have Fudge out. Madam Bones is just as competent as her reputation says and has a high sense of justice. I am sure she will make an excellent Minister for Magic. She has a reputation outside Britain as a fair witch, more then adequate replacement for Bartimus Crouch."

Percy nodded, "I only met her one but I like her."

Lucius smirked, "Well, I'll see if we can get you assigned to her office when your year as my assistant is over."

Percy turned red, "Me? Working in the Minister for Magic's office?"

"Well as Head Boy and your O.W.L.S. I don't see why you couldn't. If your N.E.W.T scores are the same then it would be easy." Lucius smirked, "I have just the job for you. I'll tell you after you graduate."

XoooooX

A few days later.

Percy and Oliver were going to stay at the Manor, but Lucius had procured a portkey to take them to Wisteria Meadows first. All trunks had been taken away by Dobby along with pets before they were to take the Hogwarts Express.

Harry bounced around, it was snowing and he was home. "It's so pretty." this was only his second real Christmas. Papa had invited Remus, who had become protective of both him and papa. Draco liked Remus too and that meant Remus had to be a good person.

Draco kissed Harry's temple, "Home…"

Remus smiled at Severus, "this is your home? I like it." It was a happier looking place then the home he grew up in, Harry seemed happy here and so did his Sevy…

Draco chuckled, "We hope you stay."

XoooooX

On Christmas morning, Draco woke up and kissed Harry, "Wake up Adder, it's Christmas."

Harry woke slowly, "Draco, morning."

Draco carried him to the Bathroom, they undressed and bathed.

Draco's hands ran over his back, gently washing his back, "I love you. My beautiful little snake."

Harry moaned softly at his touch, he was reacting more to his beloved Draco. He enjoyed being with him, "I love you." his skin was so sensitive due to his numerous scars and as they grew closer, his body reacted to Draco's presence more. He was nervous but he did trust Draco, the one who loved him, protected him and had been his first friend.

Draco kissed his neck, "Don't worry, Adder. We're just washing, we're not ready for more." He wanted to take this slow, he would wait. When the time was right, he'd know right?

Harry blushed, "Okay." he loved being in Draco's arms, always had. Draco protected him, loved him and he felt safe with him.

They dried and dressed in warm clothes.

Draco tied Harry's dressing gown closed as he kissed him softly, "Happy Christmas Adder."

Harry blushed kissing him back, "Happy Christmas Draco."

They held hands, heading down stairs to meet Remus, Severus and Blaisé.

Draco sat in an armchair before the fire with Harry in his lap, sipping hot chocolate that Dobby brought them.

XoooooX

Remus woke, highly conscious of the man in his arms, he kissed a scar on Severus' shoulder. "Happy Christmas Sevy."

Severus moaned slightly, his skin was very sensitive because of his scarred flesh. "Remus."

Remus levitated Severus enough to get out of the older man's bed before carrying him into the bathroom where the tub was already filled with water that was the right temperature.

Severus reached for his lover's hand after he undressed, "It's okay, you can join me. It will take longer if we don't share."

Remus kissed him lightly, "Thank you for trusting me." lowering them both into the water, Remus reached for the soap that Severus created himself, working up a lather, he used it to gently wash his lover's back.

Severus was slowly becoming accustomed to Remus being the type of person who enjoying touching of any kind. It was reassuring that his lover was willing to touch a body that looked like his. Those calloused hands washing his tender, sensitive scarred flash so gently relaxed him. He tried to ignore the member that rested against his arse, he wasn't quite ready for that but the sensation didn't make him wanted to run and hide.

They quickly washed themselves before exiting the tub to dress, drying their bodies.

Severus put on a light shirt and thin cotton pants.

Remus dressed as well, more warmly of course.

Holding hands they made their way down to the drawing room to find the children.

They met Lucius and Narcissa on their way there.

Narcissa took one look at Severus and giggled, "Severus, you look so happy." she fixed Remus with a look, "Are you being good to him?"

Remus lifted their joined hands, "I'm earning his trust. I love my Sevy. I'm happy he invited me for Christmas." smiling up at Severus, "It's been a while since I had anyone important to share the holiday with." if ever…

They entered the Drawing Room to find Harry curled up in Draco's lap, Blaisé looking on with a mixture of fondness and was that jealousy?

Veela came into a period of overwhelming need and lust at various points in their life, some Veela mated many to find the right one. Others were lucky to find the mate they were searching for immediately.

Harry grinned, "Presents."

Draco kissed his cheek, "Happy Christmas Adder."

Harry leaned back against that warm strong chest, "Happy Christmas."

Narcissa ruffled their hair, "So cute…"

The adults sat in comfortable chairs around the tree, the boys sitting on the floor.

Harry bounced from person to person with gifts, his scars hadn't been healed but the shattering of most of his bones had managed to allow them to heal properly.

Harry handed the first gift to Severus, "It's from Remus."

Severus blushed accepting the gift, slowly unwrapping it and gasped, it was a light silk dressing gown that radiated warmth. "Remus…" it had to be expensive.

Remus kissed him, "I picked it so you wouldn't be so cold all the time. I love you and if I can't be there to warm you I want you to have this."

Severus blushed letting his lover kiss him, in front of his friends and the boys.

Narcissa giggled, clapping her hands, "They are so cute. I see, it seems like a courting gift. To start with a gift like this…"

Harry grinned, "Ah Papa Sev. He is so nice to you."

Draco let him give out the gifts, before handling Harry a small square package. "I didn't realize that the pendant I bought you when we were eleven could be considered a courting gift."

Lucius blinked, the intimacy between them was growing. He wasn't sure he approved of this but going against Draco was unhealthy. Besides, he was gaining more by supporting him.

Harry sat beside Draco and opened it to find a painting, confused he glanced at his friend, "Why?"

'It was a way to tell you how I felt.' he pointed to one flower. "This is a daffodil, it means you're the only one for me. That one is Baby's Breath, it says I have a pure heart filled with sincere love for you. A white carnation, my love for you is pure. Forget-Me-Not meaning true love. Red Tulip promising that you are the perfect one for me. Pink Carnation says that to me you're unforgettable. Larkspur meaning I have an open heart that belongs to you. I found out Dean could paint and I wanted him to make it for you. He didn't understand what it was he painted."

The love and honesty in Draco's face touched them all.

Harry's eyes filled with happy tears, Draco…these words made his heart beat quickly. They reached into his heart and made him smile. "I love you too. You have always been there protecting me. Loving me. I need you."

Draco's lips brushed his forehead, "I want to prove to be worthy of you. I want you to be happy, strong and brave. That is my wish."

Severus waved his hand a little and a jar of dittany with a red bow on it landed in Remus' lap. "I thought this would be helpful, I know I make your potion every month but I want to care for your wounds and to tend your scars. Can't I care for you the way you've tried to care for me?"

Draco smiled, courting gifts. Severus accepted Remus' gift from the heart and in return gave him a gift that showed how much he cared for Remus.

Narcissa gave Harry another gift, "You have a bracelet that warns you of potions, a pendant that protects you from minor curses and jinxes. Now I wish to give you this, I love you like a son. This is a ring that projects a shield when you are in danger. It is a pair; a silver one for Draco and a gold one for you. They should allow you call for each other when you are in danger, or to find each when you are lost."

Draco smiled, "Mother." they already had that ability but it was the thought that counted. 'Thank you." slipping the ring on Harry's finger and kissing him lightly. "You know I will always protect you."

"I want to be brave for you.' Harry placed the silver ring on Draco's hand.

Lucius pulled a gift from his robe, "For you, Narcissa."

It was a 20 Diamond Facet Necklace has one diamond for every year they had been married. Four diamonds on each of five sides were handset into this unique pendant.

Narcissa gasped, it had been years since Lucius had been attentive and romantic. She had been afraid his affection had waned one she had proven useful and given him a son. "Lucius…"

"I haven't honored you as I promised when we were young. Perhaps, you will let me prove to be the husband you once believed I could be."

Narcissa blushed, "I've been waiting and hoping, watching as your heart grew cold the more you rose in the Dark Lord's favor. It was never less then love for me."

Lucius kissed her hand, "Then we can begin again."

Blaisé watched, feeling left out. Someday would he lucky enough to find someone who loved him? Someone who could express their feelings like this, who could look at him the way Draco looked at Harry, Remus looked at Severus, Oliver looked at Percy, Fred at George or now Lucius and Narcissa. Narcissa was more mother to him then his own, Draco was like a brother, Severus a beloved teacher but it wasn't enough. Blaisé wanted to be loved too, his own prophecy said that his mate was out there. How long must he wait?
