Harry smiled as the new contract was being signed by all of the parties. He thought back to the past two years.
It wasn't easy sailing when Cedric was found to be a mate. He had to be worked into the balance of their group so Harry didn't neglect anyone. Theo handled it marvellously and only showed slight jealousy when Harry spent the majority of his time with Cedric for the next couple of weeks. Harry surmised it was because of Cedric's near death and the griffin's need to be reassured that Cedric was alive and well. Things settled back to normal afterwards.
It wasn't long before Harry made love to both Oliver and Roger individually; the experiences were extremely enjoyable. Harry and Cedric spent more time getting to know each other before taking that step, but the experience was just as lovely when they finally crossed that line.
There was a bit of a snag having to do with Theo's father, a frightening and sinister man. Nott Sr. wanted Theo to trick Evan into going to meet Voldemort. That was the original plan for the marriage contract, to help his Lord. What Nott didn't expect was Theo to care about his future husband and anyone his husband cared about.
Instead of doing what his father wanted, he went to James and Lily. Aurors were stationed on both Evan and Harry so neither would be hurt.
James and Sirius helped get Theo emancipated so he could not be forced to do his father's bidding. Normally a contract would be dissolved when a minor is emancipated. This contract was no exception. A new contract was already being written though and it would have actually overruled the marriage contract anyways as it was a creature contract.
The contract was put on hold when during Harry, Evan, and Theo's seventh year, Voldemort was finally defeated. It happened when Evan had thought his twin brother died protecting Theo. The pain and love he felt for his brother gave him the extra boost he needed to finish off the menace.
Harry actually had not died, thankfully. Griffin had saved and healed him so he was as good as new within a month.
The contract was completed after Harry's full recovery. It was to make everything legal about the mating so no one would get the short end of the deal, as well as iron out details so there were no misunderstandings.

Harry was lounging on a leather couch, reading a medical journal. His final exam of his training was taking place in two weeks. If—no when—he passed, he would be a full-fledged healer. There was an open position at St Mungo's waiting for him.
Hands began to massage him, startling Harry out of his reverie. His smiled beautifully at Theo, sharing a deep kiss in greeting. Theo was working at the Ministry as part of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad. Although it was not what Theo had originally planned to do, he loved his job.
Oliver was away right now for a Quidditch game. He continued to play professional Quidditch with Harry's encouragement, even though it took him away from his young mate. When Oliver became too old to play, he would look into becoming a coach. Harry thought Oliver would make a good coach as long as he learned to shorten his pep talks. Oliver frowned when Harry told him that, but the Healer Trainee kissed the frown away.
Roger, like Theo, worked for the Ministry. Unlike Theo, he was an Obliviator. It was the job best suited for his brains, and Harry was extremely proud of him.
Cedric was studying law right now. As a Hufflepuff, he has a good sense of what is right versus what is wrong, and he wanted to use that in the business world. He wants to make the wizarding world a better place and he thought he could do that by making sure guilty people were punished for their crimes.
The only one of the group who did what was expected was Oliver. Even though the other three went for careers that were not expected for them, they were all happy with their choices.
Oliver, Roger, Cedric, and Theo each had separate rooms in their five room cottage. It was difficult going, but Harry made love with each mate every night. Thank God for his young age. Each night, he slept in a different mate's room. When it came full circle, the cycle began again.
Even though they wished they had more time with Harry, they knew they had his love and that's all that mattered.
What made it even better was the news Harry had, although he had to wait to share it until Oliver came home from his away game. He was six weeks pregnant and ecstatic.
~The End~
Author Notes: There you go. I've been having some trouble with the HP fandom as a whole. I have ideas, but I don't feel like writing them. I'm going to take a break from the fandom and make a foray into Queer as Folk fanfiction. I hope some of my HP fans also like QAF. I'm already working on the story. It will be multichapter post 513.
Meanwhile, I will attempt to work on the stories I have adopted from multicolouredeyes. If I try to force words for the stories though, they won't be good. That's what makes me cautious.
