Hermione woke up a few minutes later with four faces looming above her. She was lying on the table, obviously placed there, while Severus was trying to get everyone to move away from her. She was dreaming, she had to be dreaming because the last thing she remembered was Draco and Harry holding hands – that wasn't possible.
"Am I dead?" She asked in a weak voice
"Not yet" Harry answered with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Harry!" Draco scolded with a slap to the shoulder.
She slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. She knew Harry was there, she knew that part wasn't a dream but the handholding?
"I think I hit my head too hard because I thought I saw Harry and Draco holding hands."
"You did see that Hermione." Harry answered, "And I think you and I need to have a little chat."
"Yes, and father and I need to talk as well." Draco stated.
Severus looked around, "Good god it's like a soap opera in the making."
…
Harry and Hermione ended up in a small sitting room, both shifting uncomfortably and neither knowing what to say first. Awkward was minor compared to what both were feeling but Harry had a bit longer to digest Hermione's relationship.
"How long?" Harry finally asked.
"Since the beginning of term." She answered
"With both?"
"Yes"
"And what about Viktor? I thought you were with him?"
"He likes men more than women." She answered
Harry's eyes widened, "You mean he's gay?"
"Yes, apparently just as you are."
Harry blushed a little but regained his composure quickly.
"I suppose you want the full story?" she asked
Harry nodded
"Alright, over the past summer, Severus, Lucius and I had become friends of sorts. The relationship was strictly platonic but we managed to become rather close and comfortable with each other. We remained friends but kept it secret to avoid anyone shouting favoritism when school started. Lucius and Severus suspected Viktor wasn't on the level and did some spying which led to discovering he was cheating on me with guys."
"I'm not sure how everything happened from there but shortly afterwards the three of us ended up in a relationship together."
"So everything is completely consensual then?"
"It is. We have been at this for a few months now but it has to remain secret. If word gets out… there's no telling what would happen."
Harry sighed, "This is hard for me to digest. I mean, I could see you with older men but these two are ex deatheaters and old enough to be your fathers… I just don't get it."
"I understand, Harry, I really do, but they have both changed and to be honest… I need them, both of them."
Harry nodded, what else could he say? He was with Draco friggin Malfoy so it was just as bad in the eyes of everyone.
"I'll keep it secret but you have to swear to me that you will come to me if they hurt you."
"I will Harry, I promise. Now, what the hell is with the hand holding?"
…..
Lucius' study
"You and Potter are Poofs?" Lucius asked, shocked
"Yes, Father, but so are you and Severus."
"We are not!" Severus almost yelled, "We never touch each other unless it's an accident."
"So you're both just fucking her then?"
Lucius sighed, "Yes, that is the nature of our relationship, but it is not just fucking as you so boldly put it."
"But why Potter?" Severus asked. He was having a harder time then Lucius with this, "I mean do you even understand what gay men do?"
"Very well." Draco answered honestly
"And you're okay with having things put in places that aren't generally made for that?"
Draco rolled his eyes, "We have sex. I know what to do; Harry knows what to do… We know what the hell we are doing."
Severus cringed and Lucius muttered something about being painful.
"I don't get it." Lucius finally said, "But if that's what you're into, then who am I to say otherwise. My relationship isn't completely conventional either."
"So you are okay with it?"
"Yes, I guess, but don't do anything in front of me… I don't think I could handle that."
Draco nodded and stood, "You two should really try it… it's not that bad."
Severus had his wand raised in an instant, "Don't ever, ever say that again." He glanced over to Lucius who was turning a slight shade of green before turning back to Draco, "Ever,"
Draco threw up his hand in defeat, "Fine, but you don't know what you're missing out on."
"We'll take our chances." Lucius muttered.
