Chapter 30- Draco's Christmas Party

XoooooX

Adrian was getting his ear talked off by the scout from the Appleby Arrows and one from Pride of Portree.

Neville leaned back blushing slightly into Adrian's chest listening to the scouts try to talk his boyfriend into signing with them

Adrian nodded politely, caring more about the teen in his arms then the argument between the two scouts over him. It was nice to be important enough to fight over but he'd already made his choice.

XoooooX

The Gryffindor Golden Trio; Alicia, Angeline and Katie were being entertained by Gwenog Jones; Daily Prophet Special Quidditch Correspondent and Captain of the Holyshead Harpies. It was an a honor to be granted an audience with one of the best, most feared Beaters in the league

XoooooX

Oliver stood at Percy's side, nodding and smiling. If Percy was planning on going far in the ministry, he better learn how to be a good political husband quickly. He chuckled to himself, maybe he should ask Lady Malfoy for advice.

Percy was less nervous knowing Oliver was right behind him as he mingled with Minister for Magic Amelia Bones; Kingsley Shacklebolt, Head of Magical Law Enforcement; Rufus Scrimgour, Head Auror; Arnold Peasegood, Head Hit Wizard and Madam Edgecombe, Head of the Department of Magical Transportation.

"Young Mister Weasley, I have heard nothing but good things about you from Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman." Amelia said politely, he was proving he made an excellent assistant. Not only was Percy attending every meeting of the full Wizengamot, he also attended committee meetings with Lord Malfoy, attended Hogwarts Governors meetings and represented the Hogwarts Governors in meetings between Mr. Crouch's department and Mr. Bagman's regarding the Triwizard tournament. He was a busy young man for recently graduating Hogwarts. He was probably the most recognizable face of his year besides his companion Oliver Wood who w as the alternate Keeper for Puddlemere United.

"Please call me Percy, Mr. Weasley is my father. My father is a hard-working, dedicated man who has managed to instill a healthy work ethic and honor to his sons." if you ignored Ron's lazy ways of course but if Dad disowned Ron like he disowned Ginny then Ron didn't count anymore.

"Percy is one of the most hardworking and driven people I have every known." Oliver said with great pride. "He is a very good influence and can be a very helpful tutor. I was a lazy student most of my first year but then we became friends. Before then all I cared about was Quidditch and flying, he told me that if I wanted a career in Professional Quidditch, I needed to make myself more marketable; I needed good marks on and off the pitch. Percy not only got good marks himself but he was an excellent tutor. Dumbledore hired dismally inadequate Defense instructors for most of our time at Hogwarts; Percy helped me get a really good OWL in the subject though. Despite our terribly busy schedule our Sixth year Percy helped set up a schedule for the older students who did well on our OWL in Defense tutor the younger students. I watched Percy help turn his brothers Fred and George, the red-headed twins over with the Quidditch scouts from the lowest marks to the highest of their year." so the real credit went to Harry, Draco, Blaisé and Hermione but they didn't need to knot that.

Percy chuckled, "I'm not sure all the credit for their swift change in focus should all go to me. They are just as responsible for their own accomplishments, Fred was making an excellent Prefect when I was Head Boy last year. I have hopes that he might succeed Bill and I as Head Boy. I had the privilege of watching my brother George captain Gryffindor in the exhibition match that Draco Malfoy arranged. He has excellent leadership qualities like our brother Charlie and Oliver who left him big shoes to fill." Oliver and Charlie were quite tall while he himself was merely average.

"From what I've heard young Mr. Weasley, I mean Percy, you yourself left a rather amazing mark as Head Boy. I checked your N.E.W.T. scores, twelve Outstandings? That is a unique score, your brother William had the same score I believe. Your father does indeed seem to have instilled a healthy work ethic in his sons. Charles Weasley also had decent N.E.W.T. scores, he was working at a Dragon Preserve in Romania and was instrumental in the Triwizard Tournament's First Task."

Percy nodded, "He has since moved back to England, he is courting,"

Oliver noticed the ring on Blaisé's left ring finger, "Actually Percy, they've recently gotten engaged."

Percy glanced towards Charlie and Blaisé, squinted and then nodded, "That's right, it was so recently that it slipped my mind for a minute." he reached back and squeezed Oliver's hand in thanks.

Oliver silently squeezed back, it had to have happened sometime after dinner because they had been seated next to each other and Blaisé's left ring finger had been bare.

"That is good news, a Bonding is always a joyous occasion." Madam Edgecombe said courteously, "I can't wait until my Marietta is engaged herself."

Oliver nodded, "Marietta is a good friend of Cho Chang, one of Ravenclaw's best Seekers if I remember correctly."

Madam Edgecombe sipped her wine, "Yes, Cho and Marietta are good friends. I believe Cho has her sights set on the Hogwarts Champion Cedric Diggory. They would be a well-matched pair. I wouldn't mind if Marietta chose Rodger Davies, a young man from a fine family, with excellent prospects and recently came into possession of a decent trust."

"Rodger is a very talented Chaser and a fair prefect." Oliver said politely, he didn't really think much of the Ravenclaw's personality.

Percy didn't like Rodger at all, he found him to be arrogant and insufferable, he had been most displeased when it fell for them to do rounds together. Rodger was even more rule-fixated then he had ever been. "I don't claim to be a close acquaintance to Rodger; but I have found him to be a hardworking Prefect and a decent leader, Ravenclaw has done well with him as their captain."

Oliver was impressed by Percy's candor, he was able to compliment a man that he couldn't stand. That ability would serve his lover well in the ministry, he was sure of it…

Rufus Scrimgour was impressed but kept it to himself, Percy Weasley obviously didn't seek the Ravenclaw Prefect's company but could recommend the man's best qualities to polite company. He sensed the former Gryffindor Head Boy had an intense dislike for Rodger Davies but from his expression and words you wouldn't guess.

XoooooX

Draco was pleased; there was Blaisé and Charlie's engagement, Bill and Fleur seemed to be more attached to each other every minute, Uncle Sev and Remus seemed to be making friends, the Quidditch players and the scouts seemed to be making conversation, Cedric and Cho seemed pretty chummy- was that ring glittering on the Ravenclaw Seeker's left hand? Percy was rubbing elbows with powerful people in the Ministry, Oliver seemed to be more relaxed tonight as opposed to his nervousness at the Yule Ball. Adrian seemed to have accepted an offer from the Appleby Arrows while the Cannons were trying to get Fred and George to consider flying with them. Charlie had actually joined the circle of prospective professional Quidditch players after proposing to a beaming Blaisé, who was getting parenting advice from Mother. Neville seemed to be more relaxed in Adrian's company, which was good because the Slytherin captain was very taken with the shy Gryffindor. It was surprising that Lady Longbottom had allowed her grandson to attend this party but he was glad of it for Adrian's sake.

The eligible heiresses seemed to be enjoying themselves, some brought dates that hadn't received invitations while others had come with a few who had received their own invitation.

Draco smirked when he realized that the Hufflepuff female Beater Max O'Flaherty that Adrian had borrowed had finally joined the conversation between the Gryffindor Golden Trio of Chasers and Gwenog Jones. While an excellent pair with Anthony, she would no doubt prove to be quite the asset to the all-female Harpies.

XoooooX

Hermione and Viktor spent most of evening in the Grand Parlour talking and laughing.

Hermione was learning a little Russian while helping Viktor with his English pronunciation.

Viktor tried very hard but the sounds in Ahren's name were so strange to his tongue that he still couldn't say it properly. Ahren had picked up the phrases they tried to teach her when he introduced her to his parents, he wondered if she had a natural talent at languages. "You are learning Russian much faster zhen I 'ave learned English."

Hermione blushed, "Languages are easy for me, I worked through a few French books before my parents decided to take a vacation there. Before I knew I was a witch I was considering going into medicine so I tried to teach myself Latin. It has helped with Charms and Transfigurations but I really like Runes."

"Ahren, yoo taught yoorself French and Latin?" so she was a natural at languages, not bad for someone who didn't have the benefit of pureblood education, his father Dmitry was merely out of practice speaking languages other then Serbian, Russian and Bulgarian.

Hermione nodding, "I like learning and languages, I'm always reading a thick book. My trunk is always stuffed with books, I spent most of my time in the library or studying with my friends. Professors Lupin and Snape are really helpful with our studies; Draco, Harry, Blaisé and myself are already studying for O.W.L.s. We are a bit ahead of our year mates, we self study a few subjects."

"Self study? That is something ve don't do at Durmstrang."

"Until Professor Lupin we had some really terrible Defense teachers, our second year the students all ended up teaching ourselves. Draco was teaching Defense to all of the Slytherins and myself."

A second year teaching an entire house? Viktor glanced over to where Draco was talking to his guests, "Draco must be very smart."

Hermione laughed, "He does have the best marks every year, he is naturally very talented at Defense." that shield spell he had defeated Voldemort twice with was a very powerful spell, not common at all. Obscuro Reflecto wasn't Dark Arts but it wasn't a spell used by even the Aurors that she could tell. It couldn't even truly be considered neutral magic, it was between neutral magic and the Dark Arts.

"It iz wonderful zhat yoo are such good friends, you can study together."

"Blaisé and I share all the same classes, except he takes Divination. Though I don't think he takes much stock in Professor Trelawney; I think Blaisé has more talent as a Seer then she does. He doesn't use tea leaves or birth charts, he just makes accurate predictions."

Viktor raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?" the area he grew up in even the Muggles were fascinated with seers and divination.

"He has made at least one prophecy in our presence, which is turning out to be more and more accurate." Hermione smiled to herself.

XoooooX

The guests started Flooing back, Madam Edgecombe had opened Floo connections between the Malfoy's Grand Parlour and their Common Rooms.

Draco offered Viktor a room for the night when he overheard Hermione say she was too tired to floo back to Hogwarts.

Viktor politely refused, "No Draco. It vould not be proper." he kissed Hermione's hand, "Good night Ahren. Headmaster vould be quite angry if I did not return to the ship tonight."

Hermione blushed, "Good night Viktor." he was such a gentleman.

"Thank you for coming my friend. I can tell Hermione quite enjoyed your company." Draco grinned.

"And I 'ers, Ahren is a very smart girl."

Hermione toyed with the golden snitches on her chain, "Viktor is really nice company."

XoooooX

Adrian didn't flew Neville back to Gryffindor's Common Room, they Flooed into Slytherin's.

Neville blushed and shivered, "Adrian?"

Adrian chuckled, "I just want to spend the night cuddling you nothing more. You aren't ready for more yet."

Neville was embarrassed that he had suspected his boyfriend of something improper.

Adrian had private rooms in the Slytherin Dungeons due to being a Prefect and led Neville to them, "Welcome to my room."

Neville was surprised because only a Gryffindor Head Boy or Head Girl had private chambers unless they were Bonded. "It's…nice."

Adrian opened his wardrobe and chose a pair of sleeping pants and shirts for them both shrinking a set for Neville. He himself was taller and more muscular then Neville was, then again he was older.

Neville turned his back to Adrian and shyly undressed before putting on his boyfriend's nightclothes.

Adrian dressed and turned down the bed before moving to wrap his arms around Neville's waist, "Merlin you're adorable."

Neville liked being held, his grandmother wasn't much into hugging and neither were the older relatives he had left. He had missed out on a lot of affection in his young life and Adrian was gently making up for that. After the horrible first two and a half years he had had as Ron's verbal and physical punching bag it was nice to feel like he was worth something. He worried what Adrian would do if he knew what Ron had done…

Adrian led Neville to the bed, "Thank you for trusting me."

Neville smiled up at Slytherin, "You've been good to me. You've been nothing but nice to me all term, you've helped me with my studies and bought me a new wand. You've taken me on dates, you invited me to the Yule Ball and Draco's party. You're not ashamed of me…"

"Ashamed of you? Why in Merlin's name would I be ashamed of you?"

"Because I'm fat? I'm clumsy? I get dreadful marks?"

"You are not fat, you are cute as a puppy Nev. Perhaps a Great Dane puppy." Adrian teased, "Your marks are because you had a terrible wand, it was too stubborn for you. As for your brewing skills, you may never be as good as Professor Snape but you can do well enough. Besides, we've managed to get you to brew confidently all the potions you learned as a First and Second year in just a few short weeks. It shouldn't take long to get you to be able to brew as well as most of your year mates." Brewing as well as a Slytherin much less Harry or Hermione was a little improbable. Neville wasn't a complete dunderhead at potions, he just needed a partner who would make sure he brewed calmly.

Neville snuggled into Adrian's warmth, the Slytherin Dungeons were so much colder then Gryffindor Tower.

XoooooX

Hermione made her way to the bedroom she had slept in when she spent the night here. Spending the last few evenings in Viktor's company was a joy, he was so smart and kind. She liked him a lot…

Slipping into a nightgown and then into bed, Hermione lay with her prized Snitches pressed to her heart as she fell asleep.

XoooooX

Viktor left the warmth of Hogwarts Castle to trudge his way to the ship in the snow, he wondered if he had been impolite when he refused to spend the night at Malfoy Manor which was no doubt an honor. His bunkmates would tease him if they knew he gave up the opportunity to sneak into her bed. He respected Ahren too much for that, they maybe courting but they weren't ready for a sexual relationship just yet especially given their age difference.

Hermione was just barely fifteen and he was eighteen which wasn't that drastic an age difference but he wanted her to be ready not to feel pressured because she had an older boyfriend. She was wise beyond her years, obviously cared for her friends and they for her. He wouldn't be surprised if she became a Prefect or Head Girl soon, taking her O.W.L.s early was a option few were capable of having. He was thrilled that papa and Otec approved of her, she was really excited about learning Russian so they could communicate. He wouldn't be surprised if once she learned Russian Ahren decided to learn a few other Slavic languages like Bulgarian. It was cold here but not as cold as it was at Durmstrang.

XoooooX

As the Parlour emptied of guests Bill and Fleur were becoming more affectionate, going from holding hands and chatting to kissing and cuddling.

Fleur was trying to restrain herself but her Heat was reaching it's peak and she was quickly becoming more brazen.

Bill was a little shocked but intrigued.

Blaisé made his way to them, "Mademoiselle Fleur, you might want to let my future brother-in-law breathe for a moment."

Fleur blushed, but her heckles were up. She was jealous of this dark Veela. "Why are yoo not with yoor own mate?"

Blaisé could tell she was merely defending herself and was being territorial of her mate. "I have only met Bill once and I haven't tried to make your acquaintance before Mademoiselle Fleur. An oversight which my guardian would no doubt take me to task for, I have not mingled as much as I should have tonight. I can tell that you two do need time together and are being woven more tightly together then myself and Charlie but I think that Bill should speak with Charlie about having a Veela for a mate." he chuckled, "we require a lot of care and attention. As for Mademoiselle Fleur I would like to learn from her, I have spent little time with my mother's flock and have missed out on making friends amoung my own kind."

Bill laughed, "Am I being dismissed?"

"Bill you are family," showing the older Weasley his engagement ring, "as Fleur can no doubt understand I hate to be parted from my mate especially at such a time."

Bill nodded, "I promise we won't be away long, I'll let you two talk."

Fleur was most displeased that he was leaving her and was even more upset that Blaisé have dismissed him.

Blaisé bowed politely, "I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Mademoiselle Fleur. I like you am monogamous, I have need of only Charlie and I would be ever so pleased to be your friend."

Fleur was surprised at the younger Veela's genuine politeness, "Yoo are lucky to find yoor mate so quickly."

Blaisé smiled, "I know, we have good taste. When I first laid eyes on our mates I thought they were the most exotic men I'd ever seen but it was Charlie that I was drawn to. He had a burn on his arm from a dragon and it healed the moment I touched him. He was intrigued by me, he never pursued a relationship with anyone until me."

"Yoo are far nicer zen I zhought Monsieur Blaisé."

Blaisé smiled, "We are soon to be family it would be best if we were friendly, especially since we are out numbered here. I haven't really had the pleasure of meeting many Veela."

"I haven't met many outside my mother's flock, mother lays only one egg at a time and the sister I am closest to is Gabrielle and she's nine."

Blaisé looked sad, "I have no natural siblings, my birth mother lost her mate as soon as I was born. I am the only surviving egg from their only brood, mother hasn't managed to care for any of her chicks. I was raised by Lady Malfoy, she cared for me like her own son and thinks of my chicks as her first grandchildren."

"Lady Malfoy raised you?" that was unusual for a chick to be raised by a non-Veela.

"She is seated on the loveseat near the fire, the basket beside her contains my first brood. I am happy that Lord and Lady Malfoy approve of my mate. Charlie's father stayed with us and spent time getting to know me while I laid my eggs."

"William's father is that accepting?"

"Arthur Weasley is a decent man, honorable and raised five outstanding sons, all of which are here. Charlie is my mate, Bill is yours, Percy is being courted by a rather cute Professional Quidditch player and they are talking about having kids. Charlie might end up having to play against Oliver, Charlie is considering taking up Quidditch again. Percy is going into the Ministry I believe. Bill and Charlie are probably inheriting titles, you would make a gorgeous Lady Weasley Mademoiselle Fleur." Blaisé decided he definitely liked her, he just hoped she was open-minded when she figured out about Fred and George. "The twins are being pursued by the Chudley Cannons to fly as their Beaters but they want to open their own joke shop together. They are really brilliant."

"I zee Oliver, Fred and George fly at the match. Zhey are very good."

"They are good, I am considering trying out for a position as Chaser next year and flying under Adrian. I think the three of us could give the Gryffindor Golden Trio decent competition."

"A Veela Chaser? Ve are Natural flyers but yoo feel comfortable flying on a broom?" Fleur was curious.

"I grew up on a broom, there is a pitch on the Manor grounds. Some of us boys used to play a bit. Draco is a decent Seeker, not as good as Harry or Viktor but he is good."

"Is he as good a Seeker as he is a Chaser?"

Blaisé tilted his head in though, "Honestly, I don't know. I think he is talented as either, I probably could fly as a Seeker but I like the position as Chaser."

XoooooX

Bill made his way to his brother Charlie, "I see you proposed to that cute boy of yours."

Charlie grinned, "It kind of seemed like the right thing to do, him having my kids and all. It takes patience and understanding to be the mate of a Veela, you need a lot of stamina too. A Veela in Heat can wear you out."

"It's not like you have much practice in the bedroom Charlie. You were caught with a boy what a total of three or four times during your years at Hogwarts?"

Charlie blushed as red as his hair, "You caught me like half of those."

"It was a bit of a surprise to find out you were pretty bent. Blaisé is a nice boy, I look forward to attending your Bonding." Bill leaned over to whisper, "Is it true what Mum sent me? Dad moved in with you?"

Charlie shrugged, "He's staying at Eagle's Nest, I've been sharing an apartment at Hogwarts with Blaisé."

"You enjoying making the beast with two backs then little brother?" Bill teased.

"Not as much as you'll enjoy your bird I'll imagine." his words had a double meaning, bird was slag for a girl and Fleur being part Veela was a bird at least in one form. Charlie chuckled, "If she hasn't laid hers yet then our kids should be close in age but mine will be older."

Bill hadn't really thought about it, Charlie's kids would be older then his? Now that was interesting. He asked quietly, "Can I see them?"

Charlie nodded moving towards a sleepy Narcissa, "I'll take them, Blaisé and I will be heading to Eagle's Nest to sleep."

"Good night Charlie, nice to meet you Bill. We'll be family soon I'm sure." Narcissa covered her mouth to hide a yawn.

Charlie picked up the basket cradling it to his chest with one strong arm and tugged down the blanket, "Aren't they beautiful?"

Bill chuckled, "A lot of fuss over eggs."

Charlie grinned, "You'd fuss plenty if they were yours and Fleur's." then his eyes were sad, "Poor girl,"

"What about her?" Bill was a little surprised at Charlie's change in demeanor.

"Well, every year after their fifteenth winter they go into Heat, they lay eggs and are duty bound by nature to care for them. Blaisé and Fleur are different then other young people, their monogamists, they would only be capable of being with us. Being seventeen she's cared for two broods that never hatched, that can leave a scar on a mother. Remember when mom lost the baby? She got pregnant right after the twins were born, it broke her heart when she lost it at four months. It's that way only worse for a Veela, even though they know they didn't sleep with their mate they still react as if the eggs not hatching a result of bad parenting or something. Blaisé is lucky, this is his first clutch and I know they're fertilized." Charlie smirked, "I made sure of it."

"You're a randy bloke aren't you Charlie?" Bill teased, then sobered, "So she's lost two babies because we hadn't met yet?"

Charlie shrugged, "I don't know, Veela lay anywhere from one egg to three during Breeding Season. Blaisé had two which is common, but it probably varies between Veela."

"That would explain why she is so needy for affection,"

"Big brother I think she honestly cares for you. Blaisé told me a few times he was born for me, that I was his destined mate. I'm certain Fleur feels the same way about you, don't worry about Dad. He took my relationship with Blaisé well in fact he stayed with us the entire time Blaisé was laying these. He told me that I better do the honorable thing and Bond with Blaisé before they are born. A full-blood Veela's gestation period is four months, but Blaise is sure his would be longer because he's half human."

"I think Fleur is a quarter Veela." Bill said thoughtfully.

"Then like I said your kids will be younger then mine. I'll have the oldest grandkids." Charlie teased, he'd never really thought about having a family until he met Blaisé.

XoooooX

Damocles heard the clock chime midnight and turned to Corey, "Merlin, I didn't expect to be out so late. It was nice meeting you but we better go. Theseus doesn't like being left in the care of House Elves."

Severus and Remus were sad to see them go.

Severus said quickly, "Why don't you come over for dinner on New Year's? Wisteria Meadows about six? Just Floo over, my son Harry and his boyfriend Draco will join us I'm sure."

"Draco? As in our host?" Corey asked incredulously.

"He is a very open-minded, progressive young man." Remus said with pride, "He loves our Harry very much."

"one would not normally expect a Malfoy to invite two of us to a grand party like this." Corey said quietly.

"Perhaps, but Draco is no ordinary Malfoy."

"Of course I'm not ordinary, an ordinary Malfoy or wizard wouldn't have a phoenix familiar or the love of a wonderful boy named Harry Potter." Draco chuckled, his arm around a sleepy Harry's waist.

Harry yawned snuggling into Draco, "I'm tired Draco."

"I know Adder. I just thought we should say good night to your papa and Remus."

Harry stumbled into Severus' arms, "Night papa."

Severus' eyes softened, "Good night Harry."

Remus ruffled his hair, "Night Pup."

Harry slumped in Severus' arms, "Night dad." falling asleep immediately.

Remus' eyes watered, "Dad? Harry called me dad?

Draco laughed scooping up Harry, "Of course he did. You're the only parents he's ever had. Being Uncle Sev's mate you became his parent, you've protected him and helped take care of him."

Remus smiled at the sleeping boy, "I've thought of him as our son for a while now."

Corey thought it was funny, the Boy Who Lived raised by a werewolf and a former Death Eater. He could sense the Dark Mark…

Draco carried Harry up to their room.

Severus and Remus said goodbye to their new friends.

Severus was really happy to met the man who created the Wolfsbane's Potion and to find out that it wasn't so dangerous to have Remus' child. The lycanthropy couldn't be passed on…

Remus knew that Severus had meant it when he said he wanted a child, his child. His last reason for refusing was gone, he just wanted them to be properly Bonded before they tried to have a child. He never dared think about having a child before because of his condition, he had Severus and Harry, they made him a part of their family…

Exceeds Expectations? Outstanding? Troll? What do you think? sorry it took so long...

Part 4 has 347 pages, I was half afraid of making it to 350 pages lols. Sorry it's two parts because its 22 pages.
